You're all right, drunken rant. However, I think there is a smug group on here who think they're at the top and like to control things. Go on about their charity work etc. I guess it's a bit like politics and the world in general. I don't think I'm wrong to think that.
And what? Why anything in their lives should affect your mood and your life? That's ridiculous, you have gazillion million people in London around you, and you can not find those ones which would respect and appreciate you? Don't tell rubbish, it's my story, not yours!
@ Misscara. I'm not festering. Love living on SGR. I just wanted a bar (SL) to show respect to their neighbours which they didn't do last summer. They've improved and I haven't posted anything about them since early summer. This is a forum and SL is a business that needs to respect its neighbours (which it it is generally doing now). I accept the positive and negative aspects of living on SGR but naturally if things get out of hand I will complain. You and others on here complained about helicopter noise, holes on the road upper Tollington rd etc.
I know I went on about SL a lot but they weren't being very considerate. They have improved a lot.See any connections.
I love the life of SG, it's amazing, that's why I live here but I also have a voice and I don't like the smug Tristans who sometimes hang out here as they seem to have easy money when most of us (including you Miskara) have to work hard for. Maybe you don't but I do, but I like my job. Surely being annoyed about not earning enough in a job that is worthwhile is not a bad thing. So many people sit at computers all day and get 30k, but I guess they pay for your catering company to put on functions.
What's wrong with feeling angry that people get overpaid for doing nothing, while others who have passion and care for people get less. What's wrong with the world? Everyone has gone conservative!
Why 'down with elites' ? They are a good thing. Think of Beckham, Tim Daley, Thatcher, DSK, Alexander Flemming. They were all top of their game and made a big impact on society or culture. As a result many ppl benefit. I guess I am in an elite working in animal welfare. I trained hard to be good and didn't spend my student days running round with no knickers having fun. In a way it was dull but now I get rewards and I now get a good salary. So can hang out with the bootylucious types in SL and afford to take them to season not nando so the nicer birds come my way. My daughters will thus look nicer and have a better chance of employment and love. It's a positive circle. In return my 'elite' skills help ppl with sick pets. I either help cure them or if not poss put them to sleeP and give client a cup if tea and some dignity . The non elite way would be to use a brick on them. Result unhappiness and no chill out fun for me. Simples.
if i go back to 1970s feminist classic 'the tyranny of structurelessness', i find:
*Elites are not conspiracies. Very seldom does a small group of people get together and deliberately try to take over a larger group for its own ends. Elites are nothing more, and nothing less, than groups of friends who also happen to participate in the same political activities*

@crispy - yes me too. I'm rather hoping he does some sort of social work, in which case I can make the leap that he drinks coffee all day while gossiping and listening to people moan
Sorry to be a SG.org geek here, but Chang is the brother-in-law vet of the much-missed (by me alone) Tollington Tom isn't he? Or is he one of his made-up characters? I don't mind either way, particularly. He has intriguing ideas about love, happiness and animal euthanasia. I am also entertained by people who correct other people's spelling, while making lots of misstaykes themselfs, so welcome Chang.
I'm not sure it's true to say Tom Daley (if that is who Chang means) has made a big impact on society or culture until I see more men in Speedos. And I'm not sure that could be considered a progress of civilisation anyway.

That's a very fine chardonnay you're drinking. I want you to clean your vagina.
Listen, you'll have to excuse me. I have a lunch meeting with Cliff Huxtable at the Four Seasons in 20 minutes.
and as a wise person once said,
"Think before you drink, before you post"
Down with elites of all kinds!

Oh well.
'£30k for sitting in front of a computer?' - Can people really live on that?
