Inflated Self-Importance
Amorous Badger asks: Tell us tales of people who have a high opinion of themselves. Jumped-up officials, the mad old bloke who runs the Neighbourhood Watch like it's a military operation, Colonel Blimps, pompous bastards and people stuck up their own arse.

It's probably not worth pointing this out to you cunts
but Powell & Pressburger's Blimp is an affectionate portrait of an old-school military hero and his inability to come to terms with the unaviodable appallingness of 20th century total warfare. It doesn't have anything to do with pomposity. It's an extraordinary film. Stick that and their equally astonishing The Small Back Room (from which we get the prototype of the blustering non-commissioned officer who over-henunciates hall 'is haitches) in your VCR and you'll probably learn more about the second world war than from all your Hitler memorabilia and glue-fucked airfix models.
Pricks.

I reckon if you went around jumble sales picking up old airfix planes
you'd build up a fingerprint database of every kiddie fiddler in the country.
