to think that rich people are disgraceful? PART 1

I'm thinking about actual people I know....

They live in a big house with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. I think their dcs should share so that homeless people can be housed in the extra space.

They have 2 cars - this is obviously bad for the environment and what's wrong with public transport (in my country everyone uses PT).

My friend buys Dolce and Gabbana handbags and Hello magazine. I think she could do perfectly well with a Tesco Bag for Life and Take a Break - the brazen hussy!

Her fridge is filled with Waitrose ready meals and Chardonnay. Her poor children are deprived of home cooked food! I bet they are SOOO relieved when they get back to boarding school.

I get so cross with her when she doesn't take up my suggestion to turn 1 of her several acres of land into an organic vegetable patch instead of installing a swimming pool.

I just don't get how people make such bad choices!

k999- not sure if that's the one. think so...

Quattrocento · 12/08/2009 21:37

Only 3 bathrooms? How insanitary. I have 5.

K999 · 12/08/2009 21:38

Yeah, but I still dont get the point? What the fark does it matter what she does or is trying to promote? How is that funny?? Oh, I cant be arsed with this anymore!!

clemette · 12/08/2009 21:40

I admit to being entirely befuddled.
Did nybom simply make it all up??

ElieRM · 12/08/2009 21:44

clemette- yes. almost nothing she said about herself turned out to true. presumably it was all stirring, and malice towards strangers. which is weird.

Portofino · 12/08/2009 21:45

Oh blimey, went to watch Dragons Den and now there is controversy! I'm not Nymob! Might be Mynob though...

K999 · 12/08/2009 21:45

so, she's a troll then??

clemette · 12/08/2009 21:46

How depressing. I hate liars and especially liars whose only motivation is to aggravate people.

Bring back mynobshamster I say.

ElieRM · 12/08/2009 21:48

i think she's a troll.

teamcullen · 12/08/2009 21:48

wheres nybomhusband gone

everythingistaken · 12/08/2009 21:49

it's funny she hasnt been outed as a troll, yet i said i find george bush attractive and got called a troll.

everythingistaken · 12/08/2009 21:49

post a bit late sorry

Portofino · 12/08/2009 21:49

Hang on a mo! Nymob is not a troll. I think that nymob's dh and even juicyjolly are a bit suspect though....

clemette · 12/08/2009 21:51

?? She is not a troll, but she made up loads of qualifications and details ??
Gah - I hate troll hunts too.

everythingistaken · 12/08/2009 21:51

i'm confused their are way to many nob's

nybomshusband · 12/08/2009 21:56

Hey -
What about me then???
I am her??? Is she me???
Men can't cope with that sort of thing...

Portofino · 12/08/2009 21:56

I will admit to being Mynob! I was taking the piss out of the original thread. nybom didn't make up her qualifications. She just wasb't very specific about what they were in! So whilst she might have been a bit misleading, I don't believe her to be a troll.

ElieRM · 12/08/2009 21:59

but-portpfino- would you concede the original thread was probably made up by nybom to cause upset? and the things she posted on the thread were calculated to have the same effect?

clemette · 12/08/2009 22:02

Portofino you are going to have to put me out of my misery!!

everythingistaken · 12/08/2009 22:02

funny world we live in

to fucked up for me.

teamcullen · 12/08/2009 22:03

is nybomshusband showing signs of having a sense of humour

Portofino · 12/08/2009 22:05

Maybe! She might honestly think like that though! NybomsHusband and Juicyjolly are definitely a bit odd though.

Portofino · 12/08/2009 22:09

And I am defintely not nybom!!!!! I have been on a MN meetup, live in Belgium and do not share any of nybom's views!

josiejo79 · 12/08/2009 22:09

I do think there was an element of her saying the odd thing to provoke and then letting everyone run with it to see what would happen.

ElieRM · 12/08/2009 22:10

Juicyjolly in nybom i think.
