Mumsnet Talk

on jonathon Ross that his wife had " a proper job".....i only watched it last night as i had it taped.

proper job??? proper job???????????
purlease!!!

Vomit

Why are you belittling her? She has four children and seems to care for them very well. She makes a good living with her designs and has won awards. She's worth £30 million.

Be fair to her.

Frankly, your comment sounds very bitchy.

Why are you mocking him (and her)?

She does have a proper job does she not?

What is the problem?

I don't understand. She does have a proper job and she works very hard.

JR's WIFe does have a proper job... she's dead respectable.. she's just written a film!

DO NOT KNOW what she sees in JR!!!

Well if you consider successful dress designing as a proper job, then yes, yabu.

She seems to be doing ok according to the Financial Times anyway here

Jealous much?

I don't get it either. She has a proper job, does very well with it and has 4 children.

do i sound bitchy? maybe its because i get £8 an hour for wresting knives off of head cases....

no really i am not being bitchy, but have either of the beckhams ever had a "proper job"?

is getting paid millions to stand in your underwear or kick a ball a proper job?
is being a very weak singer a proper job?

is being mum to 4 a proper job? im a mum to 2 - does that make me a part timer?

i just smirk when DB opens his mouth, period.

Sadly he sounds like a pre-pubescent teenaged boy.

I never listen to what he says.

OP, my guess is that you are probably 1)nowhere near as trim 2) or as rich 3) or have a husband that attractive and as talented as sportsman as VB

You are obviously petty and jealous.

Of course being a footballer and a fashion designer are proper jobs.

Well Vicar, if you had once of the talent and business acumen the Beckhams have you wouldnt be quite so green with envy.

But then I am just trying to be uneccesarily bitchy in my last post...

i am jealous and i bet lots of properly trained fashion designers are too

though her clothes are quite safe imo and boring

They did not get rich by looking pretty, they've worked hard and still do.

I did the same when i watched it vicar

im not green with envy - but im struggling with the idea that either of them have a proper job....

i have nothing against either of them - they are a very beautiful pair. talentless but beautiful. overpaid but beautiful. i guess beauty is key? do i sound bitter because im not a size 0? im not. im just not sure how anyone could ever describe either of them as having proper jobs - to me proper jobs are teachers or doctors or nurses people who stand for 10 hours a day in a shop....

or even what i do.

im not anti celeb. im just shocked that anyone considers that a proper job. even most celebs are self aware enough to realise they are paid vast sums to do nothing much.

So what you're really saying is she has a better job than you?

You do sound bitchy... We all do different things for a living, you are not the only one with a proper job because you 'wrestle knives off head cases'.

I think DB was implying that VB had a proper job and he didn't!

I dont see how anyone can describe them as talentless, particularly him. Footballers are not selected for their looks.

And they do both appear to work hard at what they do.

I strongly suspect she doesn't actually design any of her clothes.

All of that tottering around airports with baby on hip aside, she does dress her beautifully. No pink, just gorgeous muted colours. I hope she sparks a trend.

<hates pink!>

He entertains the millions week in, week out.
So being sporty is 'talentless'?

She is a superb business and marketting genius.

nah....she doesnt have a better job than me. i love my job. i was just quite shocked at how out of touch he was to say that....i dont consider anyone who kicks a football or designs dresses to have a proper job. so sue me.

i just dont.
