Middle Class B*llocks

[DelToro]

There are two particular types of middle class b*llocks that I've noticed again and again over the years.

One is eco-madness. A lot of preaching about saving the planet doesn't stop lots of reasonably affluent alleged greens living life to the full on their decent wages, often entailing lots of holidays, a decent sized home that needs lots of heating, a large 4x4 for dad and perhaps mum too, cars for the kids when they hit 17, flights for weekend city breaks and gap years for the children etc etc. Energy saving in order to stop an eco-apocalypse seems not to be their personal responsibility but something they tell everyone else to do.

The other is 'celebrating diversity'. They tell the rest of us how wonderful it is that our city is so diverse, with so many languages and cultures represented especially in our rich and vibrant schools. But they tend to live in a largely white, monocultural area and make absolutely sure their kids attend a school with as little economic, cultural and linguistic diversity as possible.

I swear you've lifted those 2 main paragraphs from a previous thread where you launched one of your many onslaughts against the BBC.

White wine.

What the very fuck?

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

White wine.

And a white wine sauce to go with the chips in yer muffin.

 

[nijinsky's fetlocks]

White wine.

I must confess this is one of the very few things in life where I invariably choose red.
Fondue sets are pretty gauche and nouveau riche, as are wife-swapping parties.
Although I would gladly swap mine for a bit of peace and quiet.

I know the type.

The sort who when they bring their Mrs out for half a shandy on their birthday, insist on sitting in the posh room instead of standing in the vault.

And then moan like fuck that the mild is half a pence dearer in there.

Posh *****.

Some would say that's a lovely trip down memory lane but it still happens in my local most weekends

As I heard the other day middle classes are just the upper classes pets. ?

You see I drink more white than red, I prefer red, but my head had a problem with the stop button. Having said that drinking red now with a nice range of cold meats and a selection of cheeses

People who refer to their banjo string as a "frenulum."

My grandson Toby had to have his frenulum linguae snipped. Privately of course and not the NHS.

Ah well, it's no drawback.
