Here it's all about money. If you call yourself upper class here without money, you are only fooling yourself. Doesn't matter if your forebears were at Plymouth Rock in 1620.</p> <p>It's nice. When I lived in California, my housekeeper had a house in a nice town and her car cost about $50,000. Just because you clean people's houses, doesn't mean you can't send your kids to college.</p> <p>On a related subject, there was an article in today's NY "Times" about (thank God, a minority of) people who are dropping Britishisms into their speech. Like calling your friends mates, and ringing people up, and on and on. Perfectly fine if you are from the UK, pukingly bad if you are an American.</p> <p>I'd post the article, but the "Times" don't allow that. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=49583#post-143195 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 19:52:12 +0000 waylandsmithy 143195@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Rikkor, I think you're muddling up middle class and Middle Class. </p> <p>'middle class' are the squeezed middle, people who do jobs that others admire because they're mind-numbing, worthy or essential to society. These people generally come from cheeky, chirpy working class backgrounds, and were encouraged to strive to better themselves by loving, selfless parents.</p> <p>'Middle Class', however, are to be despised. These parasites do jobs that pay slightly better than expected, or they've made their money a bit too easily. Typically they've cheated their way to making ends meet, perhaps by being lawyers, estate agents or dermatologists.</p> <p>Often, these bastards have been left money by their parents, made a business deal or deliberately stayed in contact with their friends at private school. </p> <p>Somewhere in the middle are the middle-Middle classes, who drive nice cars, but don't like to show off about it. They're despised by everyone either side of them, because they're at pains to drop their posh accents, but still holiday in St. Lucia.</p> <p>Is it the same system in the USA? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=49583#post-143191 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 19:35:29 +0000 rikkor 143191@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I'm always vy. amused at hurling the designation "middle class" as if it's the worst of insults. If you don't work in a factory or as a laborer, you're not working class. So, what are you? </p> <p>In the US, most of the very rich would identify themselves as middle class. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=49583#post-143187 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 19:24:56 +0000 button 143187@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Excellent, 5 stars.

The new law comes into effect at the end of the month, preceded by a candid statement from the Department for International Development.</p> <p>‘Just cook the fucking food, sit fucking down, eat the fucking food, and be fucking glad you’ve got it,’ said Darren Lovelock, a spokesperson for DFID, wearing a jumper he’d knitted himself. ‘No-one wants to see how proud you are of your mozzarella bon-bons marinated in spaniel spunk, or the fact that you can’t live without your food processor.</p> <p>‘Let’s be clear, you can live without your food processor, and about 98% of the other things in your self-absorbed, tedious, nauseating life.</p> <p>‘From November, every Facebook post or tweet featuring a plate of food, either produced in the home or taken in a restaurant, must have a second image of the subsequent visit to the toilet, floating like a forlorn yuletide log in a sea of Harpic jus.’</p> <p>Those who don’t observe the new legal pairing of ‘from dish to dump’ will face a scale of fines. Accompanying messages along the lines of “From our permaculture windowbox”, “Stewart’s bulbs have done us all proud” or “Purchased at a market in Sienna and lovingly tended on Easyjet EZ531” could see penalties of up to £10,000 and community service peeling garlic by hand without a device from Lakeland.</p> <p>The only exceptions are drought-resistant crops inadvertently produced by over-blanching maize or the accidental re-introduction of Spangles into the food chain.</p> <p>Sarah Okonjo from the Democratic Republic of Congo, said: ‘I walk fourteen miles a day to collect fresh water, and face the threat of rape and murder from rebel militia who patrol the road, but I’ve never thought to FB or tweet my friends about it, mainly because when I get home I am tired and hungry and I have to try and make a small bowl of rice feed my children and parents. And I’ve never had an internet connection. Or a computer. Or a Facebook or Twitter account. Or electricity.’</p> <p>Spenser ‘Spensey’ Mogridge, an architect from Barnes in London, said: ‘I’m horrified by this humiliating law. Our new bathroom won’t be finished until the summer.’ </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=46588#post-134141 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 11:05:46 +0000 The_RLJ 134141@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I hadn't heard the news about that when I posted.

Did I miss something? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=46588#post-134075 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 23:28:04 +0000 The_RLJ 134075@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Visitors to the London Olympics have been shedding the pounds with a brand new diet – the Hoskins.</p> <p>Named after Hollywood legend and star of Super Mario Bros., Robert William ‘Bob’ Hoskins Jr, the diet consists chiefly of bizarrely prepared seafood, meat, pastry, gravy and potatoes, all served with a generous helping of the salt of the earth. </p> <p>It is rumoured that a number of stars, including Jennifer Aniston and Lady Gaga, are now starting the diet following US reports of Olympic tourists being hospitalised following dramatic weight loss. </p> <p>Talking about the diet, Logan Hogan, a Canadian fan of the Equestrian disciplines, said: “The results you can achieve with the Hoskins diet speak for themselves, with a non-rhotic flourish. After only a week, I’ve lost over half a stone and my hair has never looked thinner! The weight just falls out of you, from both ends, so it couldn’t be simpler. The only thing you’ll keep down is your weight.”</p> <p>East End food retailers are said to be delighted at the growing interest in the Hoskins Diet, after a long and steady decline in trade in recent years. </p> <p>Pieman Simon Ryman commented: “We’ve been scraping a living from TV crews filming rose-tinted news reports about the decline of the industry on slow news days, but that only buys you so many pearls. If they can keep the bleeding under control and the Hoskins goes global, we’ll be up to our mincers in bees, laughing all the way to the J. Arthur.” </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=44375#post-126923 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 18:30:26 +0000 TiffindeVere 126923@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=27069#post-74383 Mon, 27 Jun 2011 15:38:45 +0000 Christopher Frost 74383@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=13058#post-35497 Mon, 27 Sep 2010 22:16:19 +0000 stonio 35497@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Jamie, 35 will be the first to try out the first of it's kind method for fixing the lisp.
