Because he's an arrogant fuck who thinks the world shines out of his arse just because he went to public school, Cambridge and has a good job despite being very sheltered, having seen fuck all real life and not being able to get a girl for love nor money.
Why wouldn't they? Ascot's a horse racing event. If they were interested in going, why wouldn't they fit in?
As for the VIP room, again why not? They're just as good looking, just as intelligent, just as charming. In fact they probably have these qualities in more abundance than most. So what's holding them back? Daddy's bank balance? Because that's all that separates them as far as I can tell.
But if they themselves are successful and rich, what difference does it make?
You've never had sex or had a relationship with a girl and you're 23. You call that living well? Absolute bollocks. Open your eyes man.
Or until she realises what a soulless, vapid, snobbish, arrogant and material waste of space you really are.
That's not my point. My grammar school educated friend who is beautiful, intelligent, witty and dresses well. Why would she not fit in at Ascot?
Well I'm a student so it would be pretty hard for me to get into somewhere like that. Give me a chance to get a career first eh?
I've looked at those websites. My friend is just as good looking if not better than most of the girls I see on the photos. Why wouldn't she fit in? She looks good, dresses well, is intelligent, Cambridge etc.
What do you define as class? What is this class you're born with? As far as I can see, the only thing that separates you from my friend is your father's bank balance.
What's your point? And how do you know no-one else on the board has done better than you?
Yes I'm sure you're quite the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde...
And how does that metter who Franki goes out with. I've met her and her fella several times and they are very happy couple. Maybe you just jealous of them? Could you be any more fucking patronising and hypocritical?
Im 100% sure he can be.
Dull numbercruching? WTF?!
I've worked in accounts for nearly four years now. Dont have a degree, uni isnt for me, worked and studied for three years and at the age of 21 I'm a proffesional body member. I was even single handley running a group accounts department at the age of 20! It been my first choice of career since I was 15/16. And theres is actually a hell of a lot more to accouting then "dull numbercruching". But being the stuck up langer you are, you couldnt possible realise that.
2) What the fuck does it matter if it's not a "lovely city job" to you? He loves his job and they hired him almost entirely on the basis of his personality and skills after he did his placement year with them, not because of the status of his fucking university.
3) How the fuck do you know where he works anyway? Are you stalking me? Because you all of a sudden seem to know a lot about the people I care about.
4) I'm not still in school, ta. I just finished a third year at one of the best sixth forms in Essex doing a very difficult course. I'm going to Uni a year later than I should have been because I didn't do as well as I should have in my first year. And now I bet you're gonna go mouthing off at me about that, too.
5) People don't rip us to shreds about it because he's not a fucking cunt like you are, and know that we're very happy, thank you, because we're mature enough to handle a proper relationship. Arsewipe.
Way to misinterpret my post. I don't WANT a city job, it doesn't appeal to me. Rich has one, fair enough, but I couldn't deal with it. I know what I want to do, but I'm sure if I told you you'd just look down on me for THAT, as well. I'm going to earn my own money, how much he earns makes no difference to me. If (and imo it's a pretty big if) we do break up, I will be earning my own money and doing my own thing and it won't be a problem. My point is exactly as Bunnie put it - he got a good job (I don't give a fuck what you think, it IS a good job) on his own merit and he didn't need a degree from Oxbridge or one of the top 10 unis to do it.
In regards to this:
I apologise, I wasn't aware that Oxford DID Engineering (although I am inclined to agree with Thunderstruck that the calibre of the course matters more than the calibre of the university). I wasn't interested in either the course or the university. But that wasn't my point, either. My point was that if she chose to go into a specific career then it would be infinitely more beneficial to her to go to a university which did the course which would point her towards that career than to go to one which didn't just because it was a more prestigious university.
I'm done now, except for one thing. If you say anything like this:
again, I am going to hunt you down and cut off your balls with a spoon. Do NOT insult me, because I am not the best person to get on the wrong side of.
Oh, and I am inclined to agree that you are jealous, because I sure as hell know you could never be in a relationship half as good as the one I'm in. Fuck. You.
End.
Wow - such a lovely generalisation. So everyone who is working class are ugly and fashionless and not worthy to kiss the ground you walk on? I thought this kind of snobbishness had dissapeared. Clearly you have never taken time to meet any working class people. And if you only ever associate with fellow toffs, then you're never going to learn much about life.
For me, the best, most employable sort of people are those who are rounded - ie, yeah, a good education is a plus point, but to me, I would rather associate with those who are not self centred, arrogant, full of themselves and twattish in their behaviour. And I'm sure that a lot of employers would not employ people like these either.
These are the sorts of people I am proud to associate myself with. Not those who are obsessed with red brick universities, public school kids who have no social skills and are fixated on class or those who are so full of themselves they need to demean others on a public message board :thumb:
(What's the reckoning he completely ignores every single part of that post except the bit which says you're a teacher.....?)
Politics is a highly rated department which keeps improving and getting well-known and respected scholars among its staff. Also, LSE for my specific subject is only better by name, rather than overall rating.
I know I am biased, but as said I am backed by the university league tables.
Yes, I will admit that I applied to LSE and didn't get in, but I think that Jomery lacks an important factor and that is how content you are with where you are.
I would say that there is no point in having an Oxbridge degree if you afterwards look back at it as slavery rather than socially and academically stimulating. I am not saying that getting plastered and having a ravishing social life is the core of uni life, but I know that I wouldn't want to have been without it.
Then again, Oxbridge for some offers what they seek and know people there who are perfectly content.
Furthermore of one of the places Jomery mentioned as respectable I am personally familiar with someone at the very very top who does not hold an Oxbridge degree.
Basically, you definitely want a place that can offer you something of a good academic standard but you want the surroundings to be comforting and welcoming.
Yes, Sheffield has a lot of lacks and my personality fits the City lifestyle a lot more, but for uni I seriously couldn't wish for any better where opportunities to go out are rife and quite diverse, yet where you live in student surroundings meaning that you're constantly reminded why you're actually there. Basically a good balance I'd say.
Wow. You really do know about half of fuck all don't you?
I think a large number of very successful and rich people would disagree with what you've said there.
And clearly it doesn't take two clicks to see what his job really is since YOU GOT IT VERY WRONG.
You should try saying that to my dad, Jomery. See what he says, yeah?
