Poor Man About Town

I have been trying extremely hard to put my finger on the nouveau middle class and it exists right under my nose - snobbery, questionable liberal politics, insufferable parents, ponsification, boredom, bullshit, ersatz rusticity, gobshite, cheese shops, the Guardian Newspaper and M & S. In the past ten years, these buggers have descended on the enclave of East Dulwich, a frontier town - some blacks but not too many, ideal for the liberal couple who will not feel that they will have their personal values compromised by the unpleasant activities which are perpetrated by street gangstaz.

They can have their cheese shop, deli, organic butcher with sourced (great bullshit word to pander to the Dullie) produce (another bullshit word).

Every so often I go shopping in Sainsbury's in Dog Kennel Hill; it's like going to the baboon enclosure of a safari park - it's full of fucking Dullies!. Their behaviour and conduct leaves much to be desired - they don't give a shit for their fellow Dullies let alone a rent-paying pleb like me. They barge their trolley in front of you expecting you to get out of the fucking way. Barging in front of you when you are looking at items on the shelves - no "excuse me" nothing. They're completely vicious.

I went to a party thrown by a Dullie, the conversation was around house prices, design and how fucking nice their how looked, how fucking clever their horrible children are, the exclusive schools they're attending; the holidays off the beaten track; all the vacuuous shallow bullshit. The conversation had as much humour and wit as a motto on a Christmas Cracker. It was so dull that a stink bomb would not have gone amiss at said party. I got so bored, bored, bored, that I left the party buggered off home and watched the telly.

Catherine Tate gives a very funny example of a Dullie, here it is:


Read about one Dullie's unfortunate experience of having to suffer the indignity of travelling on a bus and coming up close to one of the great unwashed

Also have a look at this interminable video - it is a Dullie with a Camcorder showing us around her new home.
