Maybe those things have gone mainstream but they still seem to be regarded as exclusive by some people

It sounds better if you read it in a Mr T voice and throw in a few "Fools". Ok, "better" is pushing it a bit.

Keeping your books on a shelf

in a bookcase

which has glass in it's doors

and made of the finest polished mahogany

which is in your study that has high ceilings and leather padded double doors

and a view overlooking one of the nicer beaches

of your private island

"Priority boarding" for Ryanair flight. And trying not to look smug as you breeze past all the "ordinaries" in the pov queue. At least that's the way it looks to me as they breeze past. Flashy priority gits.

Asking 'Where does one summer?'
As opposed to 'Off anywhere nice on yer holidays?'

Priority boarding on a ryanair flight is like putting a ferrari badge on your fiat panda.

Only plebs have glass doors in their bookcases (yes bookcases, multiple - who only has one bookcase?). The truly developed know that they need access to their books at all times and glass doors are just an annoyance.

Having 6 kids when you live in a lower income area of Dublin (e.g. Tallaght) = lower social status ... in fact worst than Al-Qaeda and Global warming. (Kevin Myers disapproves :mad:).

But ...

Having 6 kids only a few miles away in a middle income area (e.g. Templeogue) = the highest social status.
Send them to a private school for bonus points. (Kevin Myers approves ).

Snobbery and contradiction is alive and well.

Ray McSharry didn't even have the Inter Cert, never mind a degree. And he did pretty well for himself.

Neither did the bold Sean Quinn. Atleast I'm fairly sure he didn't sit the Inter Cert.
