Although I did write a very angry letter to Guardian online because they published a tongue in cheek poll about the demise of Blockbuster. I had to ask if they would have found it so funny if it had been a mine or steelworks.

Their media coverage is up its own arse self referential twaddle. IMHO.

I read the Guardian and I have hummous in the fridge. I have hummous because I'm making homemade falafels for tea on Thursday. I could go on...

What is the point of your what is the point?

Dunno. But I asked first, so...

I think that as houmous is transliterated, we can allow a modicum of variation

Nice to have all the poor-hating, pseudo-intellectual champagne socialists in a handy list for when the revolution comes.

I don't concern myself with poits, limited, only with what grasps fleetingly at my little fancy.

OP posts:
Hullygully · 07/05/2013 20:14

I meant points

I am actually deeply concerned about poits.

I'm more a cider socialist TBH

Hullygully · 07/05/2013 20:18

I like a drop of White Lightening while I critique Das Kapital

I don't really like champagne... is that an issue, Hulls my dear?

AwkwardSquad · 07/05/2013 20:19

Champagne socialists? Prosecco, sweetie. Champagne is so nouveau.

limitedperiodonly · 07/05/2013 20:19

All the MC lefties I know are raving skinters.

I would agree hullygully.

It's all relative though and it's not funny whoever you are.

So, again, what's your point?

miffybun73 · 07/05/2013 20:20

Me, but I live in the North West (of England, not London) and hate muesli :)

Bluestocking · 07/05/2013 20:21

Middle-class, Guardian-reading, leftie and proud. Not utterly brassic but by no means living in the lap of luxury. And not in North London.

AwkwardSquad · 07/05/2013 20:22

I make my own muesli Grin

miffybun73 · 07/05/2013 20:22

stubbornstains Is it pro-shootoh? I'm never sure :)

themaltesecat · 07/05/2013 20:25

It's just an expression. I have no doubt you spent most of you time with your head in a bucket of Lambrini.

I doubt anyone posting here is left-wing.

TeWiSavesTheDay · 07/05/2013 20:27

Why doubt we are left leaning?

OverAndAbove · 07/05/2013 20:27

Middle-class, forty-something Guarduan reader here. And I work in local government. Doubly proud!

TheOldestCat · 07/05/2013 20:29

Quite, themaltesecat. DH called me a Grauniad reader because I served up couscous at tea-time, rather than because of my politics. I vote Labour but spend most of my time with my head in a bucket of beer. Grin

(I also have houmous in the fridge as it's the only thing DS will eat in a sarnie. It is Morrison's value houmous 'dip' though.)

themaltesecat · 07/05/2013 20:31

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Labour Party are the party of choice for the bulk of "left-wing" voters in this country, are they not?

Lastofthepodpeople · 07/05/2013 20:31

Leftie Guardian reader here. DH is a teacher so get to tick that box too. Don't have enough money to be middle class...
