Can't be worse than Code's thumbs.

 

I still have flashbacks to that picture.

There’s an actual scientific study that shows if your toe next to your ‘big toe’ is longer it’s an indication of higher intelligence. 
 

I saw that shit on QI.

Nah that’s bollocks. 
 

We grew up on a council estate in the 80’s where the future choices for lads our age were joyriding or heroin. 
 

We played football for a local club, we played rugby and cricket for the dockers social club, we played pitch and putt at a local council course that was shite and we jumped the fence to play tennis on a council concrete court once it was locked in the summer. 
 

There was fuck all middle class about that. 

I'd never heard of or seen a rugby club until I was at comprehensive/high school.

It's an identikit Barett House Estate called Bloomsbury Wood (even though the wood was flattened to build it), people have moved in but phase two is still under construction and JCBs regularly trundle past the front window as the family tuck into a Charlie Bingham's lasagne. 

 

The Facebook group posts revolve around missing dogs and requests for tradesmen recommendations.

[Poor Scouser T]

I was at St Marys in Crosby and they banned footy in the yard because in encouraged spitting. Rugby and kicking shit out of each other was fine. Quite middle class.

When they're out as a family, the dad has a rucksack.

[Fugitive]

The still say ‘Mummy’ and ‘Daddy’ well into adulthood, the weirdos.

They hate their parents and by adolescence have already mentally divided up their estate. They go to distant universities under the guise of it having their chosen course but it's really out of a desire to put lots of distance between them. There's an entire branch of psychology that makes lots of money out of this phenomenon.

[Fugitive]

The newer middle-class generation are a weird one. They dress like fucking scruffs with shit webs, corduroy trousers that are about 6 inches too short, jumpers that tramps would laugh at, shit moustaches and sit in overpriced cafes working on their MacBooks… and that’s just the women!!!

Haha - that’s me. It’s got my little lad’s name on it too as it’s his nursery bag.

Or they call their parents by their first names, from the age of three.

Im on our local “West Derby Triangle Watch” crime group. It’s fucking nuts. One woman posts random shite all the time and keeps getting told off.

My 3 year old Grandaughter copies my missus when she shouts my name and is told off by me! Playfully of course. I say 'It's Grandad Vlad to you,young lady.' I am middle class in no way.

[Section_31]

Their parents are always still alive, even though they themselves are in their 80s.

 

"I'm just nipping round to my dad's". 

 

The fuck, who's your dad, Wolverine?

[Strontium]

They all name their kids the same thing.

 

Her cousin has a daughter called Emilia. Now her other cousin has called her daughter Amelie. Goodness knows what the next one will be called, Imalia or something probably.

[Section_31]

I don't know if this is a middle class thing, I don't think it is, but every kid seems to have about 15 hobbies. Concert piano on Wednesday, fencing on Thursday, samba band on Saturday, rhythm and blues harmonica on Sunday. 

 

Fuck that. Where's the time for Nintendo and burning ants with a magnifying glass?
