    Ha, great stuff.

    I'd add to the list of over-worn phrases: saying "at the end of the day", in any sense other than the literal one of referring to something that is going to be happening at the end of the day.

    i love frankie boyle <3

    What's wrong with Jeremy Clarkson? If he believes a tenth of what comes out of his mouth I'd be astounded. I love the way he's made an entire career out of WUMming and that people still bite twenty years later :D

    Another deal breaker or twelve:

    thinking Katy Perry sounds like something other than a cat being neutered with a Flymo;
    wearing anything from Jack Wills, but in particular those ridiculous "Saisonnaire" hoodies;
    wearing anything from Abercrombie and Felch;
    driving a BMW 3-series;
    or a Mercedes Benz A-Class;
    or a "new" Mini;
    fake tan;
    wearing sportswear at any time other than when playing sport (double hate-points for students wearing University-branded sportswear- myemployer must have 12,000 students playing competitive sport if sales of branded sportswear is anything to go by);
    wearing a skirt so short that I can see your flaps when you walk up the stairs in front of me;
    using the word 'vajazzled', even ironically;
    drinking WKD;
    calling perry "pear cider".

    You lot are a right bunch of fussy fuckers! :D
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Maybe, but I want to find the person behind Jack Wills and punch them in the face. Repeatedly. With a new Borismaster bus.

    "Outfitters to the Gentry". "University outfitters". Oh, just fuck off, fuck right off now.

    :lol: brilliant - I knew there was a succinct and accurate way of describing what she sounds like.

    One of my friends from my first primary schools is now into Jack Wills and acts all GANGSTA YO.

    I am tempted to post on his FB wall about how, when he was six, he used to play with Barbies with me and go into fits of giggles so long he would go bright red all over his face. I wonder how that would go :chin:.

    What if it is pear cider though, rather than perry?

    How can you wear Jack Wills and act GANGSTA YO at the same time?

    Jack Wills, and the American equivalent of Abercrombie and Felch, is for middle-class Jemimas with too much money and not enough taste. You can't be a prep-school gangster, it doesn't work.

    Tell him that if he wants to look like a charver skank he should go buy some Superdry and some Bench.

    I had a Bench wallet once, I used to keep in my trousers next to my nine.

    I have no idea. But he manages it.

    (I would go poking around his status updates but I'm too lazy for that :p).

    I don't think he does manage it, tbh.

    :no:

    I'm possibly being a bit harsh. I'd rather listen to Katy Perry sings the songs of Frank Sinatra than anything by Paloma Faith. Or that Aussie bint who's a WOMAN on a MISSION despite being, like, twelve.

    is that supposed to be a joke, or are you actually racist?

    Are the French a diffrent race ?

    He tries, though.

    Bless him. All I think when I look at his Facebook is the little ginger boy with freckles all over his face who turned into a beetroot whenever someone made him laugh.

    Yes, they talk funny and smell of garlic.

    He does try. And God loves a trier.

    I know I'm getting old now, because I think "what the fuck are they wearing?" when I see about 75% of people in my office. Apart from the lovely girl with the vintage clothes and the Cath Kidston handbag. She's lovely.

    My list of dealbreakers:

    1) Aggressive
    2) Inability to accept fault
    3) Touchy (as in over sensitive)
    4) Attention seeking
    5) Racist/prejudiced/ignorant
    6) Style over substance
    7) Overly vain
    8) Secretive

    If a person has more than one of the above qualities, and in some cases JUST one, then I am not interested in investing my emotions in them.

    not liking animals.
    melt-your-face-off breath.

    is it between whitey? Hmmn, xenophobia typically indicates deep ignorance at least. Where do we draw the line? Jokes about Spastics not ok but about the French is? Hmmn, no, that doesn't actually cut it-- jokes against the French are offensive.

    One of the reasons I feel less strongly about this form of prejudice than others is in the balance of power, but don't get me wrong, I still disapprove. For instance, jokes about spastics can be examined not just in terms of how 'rude' or 'offensive' they are, but also in terms of power -- spastics are relatively powerless as a group. The French on the other hand don't have the same power disparity compared to English, hence my dampened sense eof outrage but, all the same, it's still offensive.

    Yeah, the French aren't all that bad. At least they're not Welsh.
