To think that people have the principles they can afford?

[Hullygully]

Do you have, or know anyone that does, principles that would absolutely not be ditched in the event of greater wealth?

We were taken to the Wimpy once a year as a birthday treat. We knew how to push that boat right out in our family.

The great god google says that Michael has said:

"I'm every bourgeois nightmare - a Cockney with intelligence and a million dollars."

?Do you know that the harder thing to do and the right thing to do are usually the same thing? Nothing that has meaning is easy,"Easy" doesn't enter into grown-up life.?

"Ruprecht, do you want the genital cuff?"

"I don't want no bird's respect - I wouldn't know what to do with it."

I LOVE Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. It makes me howl.

Micheal has opbviously never had a Robin in his garden that follows him around

All that money and no featherd love

I love Dirty Rotten Scoundrels too.
Not quite as keen on Alfie, I must say.

If your mate has been denying herself stuff based on a combo of principles and skintness, she's probably pissed off that other people have more stuff than her, even if it is just flashy meaningless stuff.

And pissed off that actually, no-one gives out medals for sticking to your principles, and the smug capitalist bastards always win in the end.
And her anger is being misdirected towards you.

She needs to read that Oliver James book about rich people dying on the inside, she'll feel much better. 'Affluenza', isn't it?

He clearly needs to get to know Mortimer.

Maybe you should say "Hullyshorridfriend, do you want the genital cuff?" to your horrid friend, hully? Might save wasting your newly purchased Mrs Balls chutney on her?

oh no worries hothead, we ebb and flow, no direction matters.

Cept every now and then I harp on and on about myself and my hard done byness again.

By the way, do you know that those butter soft handbags are made from the hide of unborn calves?

I've only got a plastic handbag

WIMPY HAS NO E by the way.

Was that the one with Steve Martin? I love STeve Martin

My Wimpey does, TuftyFinch , Stevo will do you 3 for a tenner.

No? Gracious.

I love Steve Martin too.

Good gad you're right tifty.

My bad

I was confused with them homes by Wimpey

You want to hear about oppression by The Man? (or in my case, by The Woman)?

My line manager sob ate HALF of my popcorn and refuses to let me go for an afternoon nap.

Your friend knows NOTHING of the suffering of workers under the oppressive capitalist regime.

Yellow then your Wimpy can't be real.
Wimpy was founded in Chicago in 1930. It came to the UK originally as parts of Lyons tea shop in the London. By 1970 they had 8.3 million shops in the uk.

I remember Michael saying something that struck a chord with me about about never turning down work, having been poor. That was on Desert island Discs I think.

And also I think he doesn't heat the oil prior to roasting potatoes. Although that might have been Ray Winstone.

It was a joke, Tufty

Ok yes I see that now

I was reading it whilst cutting yogurt. It's not a good idea really.

I apologise for my misspelling of wimpy

where have they all gone?
