well I seem to have generated a lot of dislike with this one
Usually people find my very occasional postings at least vaguely amusing.

Curious how, despite their irrelevance, class distinctions raise a lot of heat. I seem to be getting a lot of reverse snobbery because I have middle class tendencies. OK so I wear cords, read books and like art. It doesn't mean I look down on people who don't, or think highly of myself because I do.

I probably have a lot less money than most of you, and I'm no more privileged in any other way either. For example I don't have a television because I can't afford the licence. I've only just managed to get a phoneline, and I only ever buy secondhand technology, clothes, and furniture. Most of my cool stuff was given to me (the piano and all the original art, for example). I can't drink for health reasons, likewise other fun dirty habits. Or a great many good ones.

My worst financial habits are buying spices and secondhand books (you can fill a bag for a quid at my local charity shop). Most of the good live music round here is free. I'm pretty good at living a full life despite the limitations on me.

If you don't like it, I don't actually give a fuck, but it does confuse me that I've generated so much apparent anger. Oh well. Good job I have a life away from the internet eh?!

You clearly do care, or you wouldn't be tl;dr-ing about how little you care.

Well, I find it curious, rather than anything else.
I'm not upset, but I do wonder what it is that's so got your goat, and that of others.

Mmm goat. Delicious goat curry. Nothing much gets my goat - you can't but goat meat in Cornwall, so I've got no goat to get.

Jesus, that's a bit pricey!
I paid 10p down at the local chazzer shop for mine.

edit - I've got some of the first draft illustrations on my kitchen wall. Found them at my Granny's house after she'd died.
