Not even Morgan Tsvangirai is jealous of the likes of you, Frankie.
Quote: zooo @ December 24 2008, 7:27 PM GMTJust pointing out a little irony, Frankie old chap.
Do you mean you do your own irony-ing?
Actually no. Mummy zooo does it.
OR DO WE GET A WOMAN IN?....

I could never envy a smug person.
And as for the trappings of Middle Class-ness. I've had them. House(s), cars, kids, jobs, businesses, etc.
You are off the track with envy.
There is no one I'd rather be and nothing I want that I can't get.

Why am I not surprised..

But if you heard a middle class person saying that, you'd be seething with how smug they sounded!

Fair enough.
I should imagine the same would apply to yourself!

It would depend in what context they said it and how it was said.

It may very well do. But then I'm not trying to pass myself off otherwise.

Neither am I.
All I am saying is that I don't like Middle Class smugness and that I don't envy anybody for what they are or what they've got.
But, but what about Stephen Fry?
You surely don't/can't hate him, Mr. Rage?
Of course not.
He has many endearing qualities.
I find his 'smugness' somewhat tongue in cheek, don't you?
Ah, selective prejudism!
BUT, is he ever smug in any kind of way?
Only in jest I think.
I only dislike Middle Class smugness btw. Not all MC folk exhibit it! I don't dislike/hate the Middle Class per se!

Ahhh! I thought you did. Well, tbh and kind of smugness pisses me off.
Yes, I agree.
The MC have a particular 'flavour' though that I think has comedic possibilities, as I mentioned.
