The Bree contest is definitely running between LadyMacbeth and DizzyBint at the moment

Crassont? Wonder if that's the origins of crass

I too have always wanted a pair of (silver) grape scissors

AeFondKiss · 26/01/2007 13:47

I would never use the word chav to describe someone

OrmIrian · 26/01/2007 13:48

CAMy! No!

Do you also decant (or wish to) your marmalade into a special marmalade container. MIL does.....

THey dont sell raclette cheese in my bloody waitrose! I had to order it from a specialist cheese shop in Brighton and it cost me £38 for a huge big wheel of it. I had to cut it all up and now I have a ridiculous amount my mother thinks I'm insane

They sell the actual raclette machines in Lidl???? are you sure because there is a whacking great spike sticking out of them, they would be offensive weapons in the Lidl's round here

Cloudhopper · 26/01/2007 13:54

Well, they might sell the machines, have never noticed, but no I meant the cheese! I thought you had struggled to get it in the UK.

CAMy · 26/01/2007 13:54

It's from my childhood and young adulthood when I used to hang about with real poncey people.

They always had beautiful silver grape scissors

Decant marmalade? No of course not, I like people to know its organic or whatever

OrmIrian · 26/01/2007 13:55

I've thought about it a bit more and I have to say that I'm proud not to be poncey in the slightest. In fact the older I get the less poncey I become. In fact by the time I'm 70 I will probably an addled old bag lady type stinking of p*ss with hundreds of animals in her house who swears at her neighbours and asks the binmen in for sherry ...... just like my dad's mum was

Booboobedoo · 26/01/2007 13:56

I've enjoyed releasing my inner ponce for a while.

I shall now tuck it away and try to behave in a more seemly fashion.

CAMy · 26/01/2007 14:01

Don't be so poncey booboobedoo

Booboobedoo · 26/01/2007 14:07

See? Just can't help it.

NappiesGalore · 26/01/2007 14:34

this thread made the talk round-up... and apparntly :

But surely ponce of the week must be Bakedpotato, who proudly declared: "Our builder is called Rupert."

i think i might be a close contender there then, 'cause our builder is called Augustine (Gus)and is really quite posh too. well? do i?

oh and, am refurnishing house and dp wont let me get anything, not a thing, even for the kids' rooms, from ikea. (though thats reflected ponceyness, as in fact, id like to get ikea stuff for the kids' rooms at least.)

Anchovy · 26/01/2007 15:07

Someone I work with has his initials embroidered on his bed-linen!

Presumably its in case he forgets them during the night...

pointydog · 26/01/2007 15:07

I am feeling excluded by this thread. For days now I have been trying to think of a good example of my own ponciness and have come up with nothing that fits the bill. And I know there MUST be something poncy I do, because I remember having poncy feelings occasionally.

I do think that posting on mn is the most poncy thing I do. Probably the only thing I would never own up to.

pointydog · 26/01/2007 15:08

When we moved to this house, I remember really wanting all my books on the bookcase in the living room 'cause then visitors would see that I do read some fine books.

That IS poncy. But I should be able to do better than that.

socci, i have been wracking my brains to think of something poncy. And now you tell me I wasn't poncy, I was snobby!

pointydog · 26/01/2007 15:20

and I wanted 'my books' as in not dh's limited-themed collection or dds'.

NappiesGalore · 26/01/2007 15:21

lol at trying desperately to come up with examples of ones own ponciness

and yes, matching shears and gardening clogs def poncy.

kiwinat · 26/01/2007 15:23

I spend a large portion of the day on the internet trying to find out of the ordinary things for the babe on the way. I don't want him to be ordinary.

pointydog · 26/01/2007 15:24

"I don't want him to be ordinary."

tirnanog · 26/01/2007 15:25

I use Emma Bridgewater crockery-but only at breakfast.

NappiesGalore · 26/01/2007 15:25

i think the books thing qualifies pointy... would you go so far as to buy books to put on shelf and either not read them or not enjoy reading them, just to have them on display?? - coz that would be poncy.

pointydog · 26/01/2007 15:26

I don't do that Nappies, no! That would be... crapola.

And what is it with the special things for breakfast time?? You just couldn't dream it up.

NappiesGalore · 26/01/2007 15:27

lol kiwinat. fast forward to kiwinat starting numerous threads on for sale boards selling barely used beautiful poncy baby items...
