just a bit uppity.

The tone
was his first mistake.

Do you think the second mistake
may have been the tone?

I wouldn't take that kind of shit from anyone.

bit of a weird thing to say
don't know about anyone else, but I like to go to festivals to enjoy bands, hang out with friends, have a laugh and get bladdered.

and I am horribly, horribly middle-class

There is something
of a point in that answer, even if it is chippily expressed.

Is there?
Lots of "working class" people attend festivals as well i'm sure. Just because you can afford the ticket doesn't mean you're middle class.
(Bazongaloid, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 14:21, Reply)

yes but there's an awful lot of middle class people at every festival I've been to.

omg
people-with-disposable-income-at-popular-entertainment-event shocker!!!
it's not the comments about the people who go that trouble me, but that their reason is not to enjoy the event itself, but as a status symbol

I go to pick up chicks

(PsychoChomp, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 14:28, Reply)

I come for the chicks, but I stay for the dicks.

I just meant
that there are plenty of Rahs and Hooray Henries who act as the poster described.
(Land of Green Ginger It's dreamy weather, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 14:23, Reply)

there might be a point
but it's a bollocks one. I have the means to go spend that sort of money on something, and I'll enjoy it, so I'll do it.

Not every decision should be weighed against what some poor buggers could be doing with the money.

I don't have to own my own house, I could do something more worthwhile and beneficial to others with the mortgage payments, but fucked if I'm going to.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 14:22, Reply)

Wasn't suggesting anything
other than there are many annoying Henries and Henriettas there. Not up to me how they spend their money, and I may even be a little jealous.

Hanged if I'm not allowed to be angry about it though.
(Land of Green Ginger It's dreamy weather, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 14:25, Reply)

I do dislike those sorts
I live in Exeter, and almost every student at the uni here is one of them. fuckers with their 5 cars per household preventing me from parking near my house.

Torn between
hatred, and envy.

Makes me hate them more. They've done nothing wrong per se, but I can't stand being in their company. Suppose that makes me a bastard too, really.
(Land of Green Ginger It's dreamy weather, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 14:31, Reply)

less of the envy really
I could be a tosser if I wanted to :-)
I like my collars folded down the way they should be.

seemingly irrational hatred and anger are what gets me through my day, and helps me be the happy, positive chap that I am
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 14:33, Reply)

Envy of the money
And the Henrietteas with their horse-riding skills etc.

It is a diet of steady and consistent hate that allows me to function, otherwise I'd blow up like Ned Flanders. I enjoy being unreasonably judgemental, what can I say?
(Land of Green Ginger It's dreamy weather, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 14:41, Reply)

I'll drink to that
:-)

Chip on his shoulder

Tedious, why do people hate the middle classes so much?

Just becasue they've achieved something with their lives, and don't give me the better start in live bollocks, plenty of people work hard and climb the "class ladder" from a less privaliged beginning.

And if it's about the way they act, I think you'll find that they aren't particulay enamoured with the working classes either ot the upper classes for that matter!
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 14:24, Reply)

I can only speak for myself
but it's the offspring of the middle classes that I dislike. I'm an equal opportunity bigot though - I hate everyone.

Yeah', because you can choose your parents.

you can run away from home

It made me what I am today.

I cry myself to sleep at night because I had quite a pleasent upbringing.

You should burn all your possessions
and then go back in time and burn all your childhood possessions. Ahh, the cleansing beauty of flame.

But the offspring can't help what their parents are like

In the same way that a complete chav can't help having chavvy parents
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 14:30, Reply)

I don't care,
I don't really like any offspring but the ones that wear Boden clothes and crocs and are called Josh and Sophie get right up my nose.
( crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 14:31, Reply)

Anyone who wears crocs
Should be burned alive inside a giant statue of a pig.
( Cawl, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 14:34, Reply)

I think that we can all agree on this ^^^

Josh is a shit name and not terribly middle class I wouldn't have thought...more so than Dwayne obviusly but not so much as Rollo!
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 5 Jun 2009, 14:37, Reply)

true,
when I said "middle class" it turns out I meant "English".

I think anyone should be able to be proud of where they came from.
Except in extream cases, like your parents being nazis.
