To find my family a bit common and embarrassing

[holdonfor1moreday]

Or am I just pretentious?

They love the cakes at pat Valarie and go on about them. When I think these are vile made off site factory cakes that are frozen.

They played the sam smith album and went on about how good his voice is and all that. Sounds like music for people that dont like music IMO.

They are wolfing down cadburys chocolate saying how delicious it is. Over sweet waxy stuff - give me Mr Roth any day.

I just don't feel on the same level as them. Really average lives and I just have nothing in common with them.

Live a little OP. Not everything has to be analysed. Like what you like. Don't bother what other people like.

Stuff that is popular is often popular for a reason.

My heart goes out to you- must be frightfully awful for you....looks for violin.

Think we are missing out yeah kinda want to go to a pat val now . My cousin slags off his council house background "ironically" on facebook he thinks he is hilarious he is just a twat.

Hahaha! I've figured out why I don't get on with my narcissist mother.

Cake! I don't like Pat Val much either, because I don't like cake. I do however enjoy the odd Greggs. Chicken bake or bacon and cheese slice please. I don't always wait till I get home to devour it either. Common as muck I am.

Anyway OP, you're not all that because you say 'could of'. That's just sloppy grammar.

Op I have some Easter presents for you -

Please feel free to use them in your next needlessly goady post.

It's fine to like different things and have different tastes, but it's really not ok to judge other people on those tastes. Why not relax and enjoy the variety?

Patisserie Valerie has gone a bit shit though. I used to love it as an occasional treat when I first moved to London, now it's all bland and all the cake slices taste the same; homogenous gloopy sweet gunk.

But otherwise OP is being a dick.

Utter twatishness doesn't come close. I'm glad you're not related to me ... Que surrounded with wrappers, sat with the remnants of a rather delicious Cadburys chocolate Easter Egg all around my mouth

What's your view on Arctic Roll?

DH and I scoffed a whole one the other day. Bloody lovely.

OP you sound awful. My mum, brother, aunts and uncles etc etc all like very different things. I don't assume my tastes are 'better' than theirs.

Stop being a knob and be a bit nicer. You'll probably be happier.

We don't have PV but we do have a Greggs and a Cooplands.
Don't think it works like that (you post goady op, you get arse handed on a plate, you take your ball home.) think you can expect a few more courses of derrière en plat.

Your examples are a bit shit op, the next time you try I suggest the following:

Fray Bentos steak pies in a tin
Scotbloc cooking chocolate
Michael Bolton

You sound like a hipster cunt to be honest.

Do you listen to bands that don't even exist yet?

If you're in London, you need to go to KonditorandCook... Mmmmmmmmmm...

OP, YABU and mean.

I like a Greggs and a bit of Mikey Bolton of a morning.

Hipster cunt

Holdonfor1moreday...

Aren't those lyrics from a Wilson Philips song?

Sings loudly

Break free break from the chains

So meaningful.

is that you Jean? You left your manky Earl Grey tea here.

Pmsl.

Horrendous! All my relly's have Mercedes', swimming pools & room for a pony.

Oh dear

I had (had, past tense) a friend who was apparently sooooo intellectual and yes, on another plane so to speak. She was a raging snob about her (w/c) background and was terribly keen to insert m/c markers into conversation. She was awfully hard work and tbh I was very happy when she moved up on

Your feelings around your "common" and "embarrassing" family remind me of her

Someone's got to live 'average lives' to make your sun-dappled, rich, exciting one of Aldi chocolate and Yo Sushi look pathetic unusual

You begin by saying you find your family common and embarrassing and on a different level and then change to saying that you just prefer different things. Which is it?

Perhaps they find you common and embarrassing because you can't spell.

Patisserie Valerie does serve crap watery tasting cakes, and Cadbury's does taste rancid these days. (What is it with Americans wanting their chocolate to have an aftertaste of bile??)

But I love Big Macs, and I still love Girls Aloud, I just bingewatched Big Bang Theory, and I'm still salivating over the chip shop thread from yesterday. We all enjoy some crappy things, even you!

Why is 'Pat Val' so funny to me? I'd turn inside out cringing if someone said that in real life Like, I'm so au fait with this shit I make up my own names

Ee, that's proper tickled me.
