Good grief!

Those crazy (classless) Essex girls.

mark

so embarrasing when its ones kids eh dave

david hobbs

The interesting thing to me is that this is a Gypsy wedding, and Gypsies are apparently originally from India.

If you look at the style of clothing it would not be out of place in a modern Boleywood movie.

Oh and having a little in me I am not knocking Gypsies.

Some might find it distasteful but I love the idea of individuality

Raymond

No Mr. Hobbs, it's cheap, class-less, fake-tanned, common Essex slags who are trying to be Jordan for a day.

It's disgusting.

By the way, How do you know when an Essex girl reaches orgasm?

She drops her chips.

meiah

Snob. Personally I think it looks like fun.

Raymond there is nothing wrong with essex girls, ask the lads, they'll tell yah

Raymond

Why do Essex girls wear knickers?

To keep their ankles warm.

Raymond

Why is this thread even on here Mr. Hobbs?

When I suggested a new subject for 'weird, quirky and odd' news from around the world I wasn't exactly envisioning cheap, common slags walking around with their fat hanging out.

evergreen

they have lots of people/friends in attendance anyway far more than I would

Raymond

That's because it gives them a chance to step out of their dreary existance for a day EG a pretend they are celebrities.

david hobbs

Others wear robes for the same reason!

Raymond

And others never get the chance to do either.

david hobbs

I can do something about that though!

Raymond

Who was talking about you?

I wasn't talking about you. Were you talking about me?

david hobbs

Blighmey Raymond.

I can't even get you at it tonight.

Lost my touch

its rather a coincident that the same day while I was working in my yard doing some hard yaka I have unexpected guest four woman all dressed to the nines going to a wedding.... the turned up thumping the horn .. then spilled out of the car in their foot tall heels good grief.. one puffing on a smoke, one with a thumping headache looking for headache relief tablets, one drinking a "can" of vodka and coke.. and the driver carrying two bottle of champagne ... too me none of this was at all ladylike but they looked the part done up to the TENS i tell you all hairdressers all make up and sparkles

When I heard the horn I emerged from where I was smashing up my old septic tanks HA! like the creature from the dark lagoon....

then helped themselves inside where they consumed all the alcohol and eat dip cheese and bikkies that they brought .. before heading off in time for the reception.....

I couldn't believe how much they drank in that hour ...... and for the first time ever my yard has smoke butts in it (covered with lipstick) no male that has ever visited has left their filthy smoke ends around.. yuck

I was left to clean the mess up and get back to the septic ha! WOMEN

'It was huge. I wanted to outdo everyone else's wedding dress,' she said.
'It was extremely heavy and just standing in the church was really difficult. But despite all that, I felt just like Cinderella.'

Yeah, if Cinderella was a pykie chav.

What is it with common people? Why, all of a sudden, do they think they're so special?
Once upon a time common people knew their place, now they all think they're celebrities.

I suppose next year the chav groom will end up shagging the pykie mother-in-law and Jeremy Kyle will pay for the divorce.

meiah

What is a common person? Is it a financial measurement, or a state of mind? Who judges it?

Raymond

It's a state of mind, your attitude to life decides your class.

Some people can be stinking rich and common as muck, others can be poor as church mice yet have bags of class.

People who are generally "common" believe that grand displays of wealth will somehow elevate them up the social ladder.

Money can buy everything except class. Just look at the Beckhams.

meiah

So what is class?

Raymond

Sorry I thought I explained. It's an attitude.

It's self respect. It's knowing how to dress according to your age and size. It's knowing how to behave in public. It's knowing how to make your children behave. It's knowing the difference between mutton and lamb. It's understatments. It's just knowing the difference between class and crass.

Unfortunately not many do anymore.

david hobbs

Must be age and I hate to do this but.

I do agree with Raymond in a large degree.

Yes I know that my attitude is no good for conversation.

I worked many game fairs and events in stately homes over the years and met the richest landowners in the country and they had class.

They showed it by genuinely valuing those around them and giving their total respect to them even if they where picking up litter for a living.

My mom would have said , no side to them.

Class is being ordinary and treating your fellows with courtesy and respect.

So your right Raymond. There is not much of that these days.

I also worked on fair grounds as a boy and later mixed with Gypsies on the big show grounds so I have seen both sides of the coin.

Many Gypsies have more class than house dwellers, but then again they could probably buy and sell them. The main thing is that both Rich and poor with class have one other thng in common.

They respect themselves, and that is how they find it easy to respect others. It is just natural behaviour to them.

Raymond

Class has absolutely nothing at all to do with money - nothing whatsoever.

If you carry yourself with dignity you have class. If you shout your way through life expecting the world to look after you, you're common.

We have to start being more judgemental I think.

For too long we've allowed people to behave in any way they see fit and the simple fact is, some people just don't know how to behave properly.

And yes, once again I hear you all bursting to say "Who's to say what is 'properly' and what isn't".
Well I say.
There are right and wrong ways to do everything. Correct ways and incorrect ways.
And those who don't know the right and correct ways already have to be forced to learn them.

Otherwise we will just continue on this downward spiral of ferral people breeding ferral children.

meiah

It may be politically incorrect, but it does my heart good to hear this.
Thankyou

Raymond
