BBBee - to be sufficiently poncy book club must adhere to certain rules.

NO Jacqueline Wilson, JK Rowling or anything written by committee or which reads as though it has been (Animal Ark et al)

A minimum of 50% of books read to be pre-1950 classics the vocabulary and concepts of which are utterly alien to today's children.

At least once in each session someone must diss another child's book choice by saying one of the following:
I read that when I was only five, I've really grown out of that author now.
It's much better in the original German/French/Sanskrit you know - the jokes don't really come across in translation.
I don't really go in much for genre fiction, but I suppose it's quite good if you like that sort of thing.

lo at dissing
tis liek the cultural revolution sint it

Re ballet, DD (3) does this - as someone said, a lot of 3 year old girls swirling around in ballet gear as far as I can see.

Last week, apparently Miss Pip (who sounds like a luvvie ponce) in a response to current environmental conditions asked them to pretend they were a flood and dance round like a swirling flood.

So, according to DD, Lottie wet the floor. And the others danced in it. That's a dire warning of what can happen when you over-ponce yourself.

loololol
lol at ballet teachers clled "Miss cod"

This ponciness sure does sound time-consuming.

I'm too much of a lazy fecker to be a ponce.

What's the difference, however, among poncey, naff, chavvy and plain ol' pushy parenting?

Methinks these lines are blurry.

I hold my hand up and admit to being a helicopter pushy mother. Poncey or not.

Not me, but another mum was telling me at the school gate about taking her son to cooking lessons. Nothing wrong with that, but in a very poncetastic area of London (think millionaire homes and nannies as far as the eye can see)
"So" says the cookery teacher "Can any of you tell me where meat comes from?"
The children come up with the usual answers, cows, sheep, pigs, until one poncetastic child, aged 6 replies "My mother is rather fond of lobster and caviar. The best stuff comes from sturgeon"

Anchovy, that had me howling with laughter, and at work too.

Ahem, may I offer Latin verse speaking competitions for Year 7. In togas.

Anchovy - PMSL (but not dancing in it).

lol lol

LadymDuck. Marvellous stuff. Did they compose their own verse or was it mostly the raunchier bits of Catullus.

What about a club at a museum where kids can make bronze daggers, do copper smelting, go dowsing, on archaeology trips,etc? Poncy or cool?

Fun
