Alkaline Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Upper-class????Was the deliberatre non-punctuating of every "I" in the sentence irony as well?I'm not a trained typist so I can't be arsed flicking the shift key every time I type an "I". That's slightly different to not knowing the difference between feet and inches. I mean the two aren't even close to each other on a keyboard so it wasn't a mistake or a typo (which I'll admit to being guilty of on a regular basis).And you've had more trips to Dubai etc in your lifetime than I have and I'm middle-class so you're upper-class in my opinion. Just 'cause you don't wash on a regular basis doesn't mean you aren't posh through Mummy and Daddy's money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Shouldn't that be 'scrutinising'? Yeah, my dictionary auto-defaults to Americanisations for some reason. I can't be arsed sorting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care.Stop trying to make me a scapegoat for your brutally punishing pedantic sarcasm in the direction of someone much younger than you.

Teabags Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 I'm pretty sure most people have had more trips to Spain or America than me. So if I'm upper-class, what does that make them? Illuminati? or Gods?Teckle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do you think my parents live in 7 star hotels or something?Nah, but getting there and staying in an equivalent quality of accommodation to your standard American or Spanish resort would be more expensive.It's not exactly Torremolinos though is it?The richestcity in the world.(No, it's not Dubai.) - March 19, 2007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didnt stay in resorts. We lived there. WHich was done through my Dad's work, since non-UAE residents couldn't buy their own homes.

Guest Savant Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 What is wrong with having money? So what if someone owns a big house in some other country?

Stop self-hating. Embrace the prosperity.Incidentally, does your Dad work in the Oil Industry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
