Mac-Toon 1 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Stevie's like Gordon Gekko. The antagonist I think it's how you're 'draged up', tbh. I was always in an environment where it was dinner then tea. I know my youngun was confused at school on his first day when they got told to go to the 'lunch hall for lunch'. He came home asking why they say lunch and I say dinner. The answer, 'cos they're mugs' wasn't well recieved by the wife. Especially as he was only 4.

Toonraider 0 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 wtf is a bottom sheet on a bed/ Wey, you have your quilt/duvet cover, then a sheet, then another 'frilly' sheet under the matress that hides the bottom of the bed. You not have one of them? A valance sheet Most people use them tbh. I have purple ones to match all my bedding. (Covers up the drawers in my bed) I also cover the duvet with a throw/bedspread and lots of matching little cushions in the day. Looks pretty Hubby complains every night about having to move all the cushions and the covers off!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably should've piped doon about 30 posts ago, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunch though, I mean howay if you're from Newcastle working class and say lunch I'd just think oh dear personally. It's dinner always will be. Saying lunch is linguistically correct but as far as I'm concerned if a working class bamp like me or yee said lunch I'd just think what a pretencious divvy.

Like in a hotel? I don't like that, too restrictive on the legs. Feel like Stephen Hawkings lying in bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're doing that because of some misconception that it'll improve your social status or make you a better person then you're a mug, but if you want to do those things (and can) and it's only some misplaced sense that you're betraying your class that's holding you back then you're an even bigger fool.

Obviously we're not bamps, I had a good upbringing, had lots of opportunities, plenty of money, but I was brought up as a geordie first and foremost. I have also met some thoroughly decent people from filthy rich privileged backgrounds, but I've probably met more who are money driven, condescending and are part of a stuck up ethic I want no part of. For instance, my last company used to take me out for posh meals in London's top restaurants for good performance, I'd sit there listening to posh wankers, explaining the best way to cook scallops, and why demand in Germany is greater for them than it is here. You could say perhaps that's an inferiority complex, I don't think so, I just feel with people who I would describe as posh, a lot of them are far more money driven than they should be, while people like me and Mac are more driven by being ourselves and trying to be happy.

Toonraider 0 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 What irritates me are those people who must have the latest pet or handbag or whatever because they think it makes them look posher Went to a party recently...honestly there was nothing 'normal' to eat. Hubby was disgusted It was all olives, ickle fishies on sticks and humous. Nothing wrong with those foods but they were there because its 'in' Hubby kept saying...'where are the sandwiches!

What would you say if one of your pals like Jonny said "Alex would you entertain the idea of some lunch after the match?". He wouldn't, because he's a down to earth kid that is quite apparent.
