I didn't actually think you were arrogant until today. Others were the ones saying so. I took you at face value, you just belittle other people's views because they don't fit into you're upper clas tory mindset. > >> However the fact that you see James Jolley's posts >> indicates to me that your kill-file is close to empty. > > It is indeed.

And there was me thinking I was of assistance. All this over some snobbish actor - init funny!

Not my ideal lifestyle.

I see them as the epitome of the well-crafted put down complete with carefully crafted patronisation. I wish I had such a skill. -- Sara Wishing the weather would cheer up

I wish I had such a skill. Depends. If the person doing the put downs actually had a clue perhaps. I mean, not liking someone makes them a lower class pleb? Basically what he's saying but ah well. As to that Dorian one, no clue what crack he's on but there we go. The guy's had it in for me since day one, accusing me of all sorts. Perhaps the well-educated are just as stupid as us lower class plebs eh PD? |
