What is a tureen by the way?
It's a sort of a posh vat usually used to serve soup.

Re: Who is the poshest on Chrons?

Well, my University German class sh*t themselves when I said that I read the, 'Daily Record,' and I was the token working-class oik in our crowd.

While my articulation once got me accused of being a Tory, my reply left no-one in a half-mile radius in any doubt as to the lack of wisdom in such a statement (three passing dockers fainted - after looking up some of the words).

Dear me Ace, was the Scottish wind sweeping around your unprotected crown jewels below your kilt while the dockers fainted?

It's a wonder you weren't scarred for life.


(By the way, the tureen should always be shrouded in mystery....)

Not a Harry Potter story. Surely, it needs to involve a souperhero of some sort.









(Though it would be best to avoid anything containing broth.... )

Very funny, Ace. Reminds me of Graham Le Saux forever having the reputation of being gay because he used to read The Guardian in the dressing room.

Port out, Starboard home - it's in Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang so it must be right - is only being sensible, not being posh. After all, who wants a tan, of all things?

TEST

1) When did you last have a kebab at the same time as being as drunk as a newt?

2) When did you last play bingo down the club?

3) Do you have a season ticket to Stringfellows?

4) Have you ever been to a karaoki night?
1) the last time I had kebab it had lamb on it, were all out of newt...
2) just before I quite working at The Home
3) I dont get seasoned tickets to anything, I like my tickets a la mode
4) no but I know lots of people who wish I have... wait does hosting my own karaoki concert over skype to some fanbois count? if so then yes, that one time when I was depressed, lonely and susceptible to the requests of fanbois.

I hold no pretensions to poshness. I grew up upper white trash. we were on the right side of the tracks, but within a stones throw of them. I know because I walked them home from school for 6 years.
I polish my own silver spoons and all.

Jolly gratified to make your acquaintance, Comrade Ace, old topper. It's not every day one gets to actually meet a real person



1) When did you last have a kebab at the same time as being as drunk as a newt?
Don't drink.

2) When did you last play bingo down the club?
Don't club.

3) Do you have a season ticket to Stringfellows?
Don't string.

4) Have you ever been to a karaoki night?
What's "night"?

We talked about 'posh' accents and he had never even heard the word 'posh' before. I had to explain it to him.
