Vapid lives of the British (upper) middle class

Ubbquittious

*House in some estate full of identical houses. Fairly recent crossover/SUV outside the door (automatic) used for going on weekend trips where the kids are bored out of their skulls

*Sky+Netflix+Amazon prime subscription, massive telly from Currys in the living room.

*All groceries bought from Ocado, useless gadgets and sh1t from Amazon arriving multiple times a week.

*Kids on iPads the whole time

*Complains about migrants the all the time & people who haven't yet made it to their level in society. Looks forward to council tax going up again in order to keep poor people out of their estate

*Two sun beach resort holidays a year minimum. To Barbados or some other place their ancestors barged into.

*Regular cocktail & prosecco meetups with the same clique of social climbing gobsh1tes they met through work.

There is potential for so much more in this thread, feel free to add to the list as you please !

Plays rubgy to present sporting prowess,but cant kick the ball

Thinks russia is wrong to invade ukraine,but thinks indian railways is a great example of british engineering

One good thing about them is that they don’t start bitter threads on Boards complaining about the lifestyles of social groups in other countries that have absolutely no impact on them.

Strange thread. Possibly a result of begrudgery?

So sad.

I tick every one of those boxes, except my SUV has a manual gearbox.

Makes me feel so inadequate.

Is an inability to kick the ball really a problem for most positions on a rugby team?

I wouldn’t have thought it was much of a problem or a requirement for the level the people being referred to in this thread would be playing at?

Are you into the rugby yourself?

I see sheep

"Living your best life" a favoured expression.

Read The Times or Telegraph.

Complain about food "The primavera isn't like what we had in Verona last year".

Drink copious amounts of gin.

Your description is of the lower middle class not the upper middle class (who don't spend like that).

Sounds like the life of a scummy electrician who married a hairdresser in some **** town like Athlone or Clonmel.

Exactly, it's describing new money types from a working class background.

The British upper middle class includes the aristocracy and those that socialise in their circle. Old money types don't do cheap and tacky.

For the love of God don’t get him started.

Shoehorns his hatred of rugby into everything, it’s weird

The upper middle class love the migrants to take advantage and pay **** all for cleaners and child minders as long as they are housed well away from them, bit like here actually. Different story if the government suddenly gave visa to millions of well trained migrants that might cause their own wage to depress tho

this is common to all class,s kids with tablets, good way of keeping kids quiet,5 year olds watch cartoons on tablets, massive tv in living room, tvs are cheap, you might as well buy a 42 inch screen,

upper class they go to expensive private schools,. companys give low paid jobs to interns, only middle class people can afford to be an intern,theres 1000s of migrants from ukraine going to all european countrys, many are highly qualified professionals,

they buy 2nd house in the country just for weekends or holidays

Sound like WestBrits who send their kids to likes of Blackrock College, Roysh

Where did you end up, yourself, C? A Vinnie Murray Cup school?

I had to look up Vinnie Murray Cup. 2nd rate private schools team. I was club Rugby through and through.

some where an former fantasy girlfriend of his is curling up with a rugby player of on a nice sofa watching a big tv and planning a holiday he couldn't afford on tesco wages.

the bitterness of it all is sort of funny but mostly lust sad

silverharp

funny how the Vapid lives of the British (upper) middle class is very similar to the good people of Darndale and similar

They send their kids to private colleges Cambridge, Oxford, there's alot of jobs in the bbc, etc that are 60 per cent private school graduates. But then it's the same in America just going to Harvard, certain private schools gives you a massive advantage in getting a job.

How vapid are the lives of Middle Class Middle Ireland?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119041319#Comment_119041319

Cambridge and Oxford aren't private colleges.

Jesus, this thread started off piss poor and went down hill from there.

growleaves

It sounds to me like a slightly more well-off version of the average person.

Buying a house and taking sun holidays...isn't that what more or less everyone does, if they can?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119042028#Comment_119042028

yes, but these bastards have the audacity to own a car, send their kids to college AND buy stuff off Amazon.

Apparently the fuckers even watch TV, their behaviour knows no bounds.
