As for being posh....I don't reckon I'm posh at all. Admittedly, I went to a private school but I was on a scholarship so it doesn't really count. My family was once quite *posh* and quite well known, but things have gone downhill over the years and now we're just pretty normal

bundy, Mark, its just a bit of joshing!! I'm just a working class northerner winding you up a bit. Not saying you're posh as in snobby, just that I dont know anyone who's been to Cambridge, and goes to that many balls etc..... I know you're really both just down to earth normal folk like the rest of us.

LOL! I knew you were only jesting, Loose, don't panic. I think it's really funny, this posh bird thing. Makes me sound like some Tara Palmer-Wotsit or something (which, evidently, I'm not)
It is weird living in Cambridge and being so connected with the university in so many different ways. The funniest thing is seeing Mr B, this aussie bush baby, out there in his DJ at a ball, or in his college tie and blazer at a drinking society initiation....Just goes to show they'll accept any old riff-raff

You could - love is free, after all, but you might starve if you wanted anything a bit more substantial!

you'd be amazed how far you can go on a lot o' luv and a drippin sarnie!

Whats th equivalent of upper class in Oz? Matching socks? says pardon occasionally after belching? Buys his Sheila a kebab before expecting to get his leg over?

I actually quite like cucumber sandwiches. Maybe I am posh after all.
I used to work for one of the richer people in Oz society (mates with Kerry Packer and the like) and all I can say is that if having lots of money and owning an entire town makes you posh, I'm very glad I'm not because they are a family of b*stards. This family actually treats people like servants and then expects them to be grateful for it. So I guess that's kind of like an old-style upper class attitude.
I like the fact that only those that work hard are truly respected in Oz. Well, in regional Oz anyway.
There are 3 millionnaires in Nundle's 250 strong population - 2 of them are decent blokes, worked hard, still work hard and the other is the one mentioned above

I was quite amused by bundy's throw-away reference to "balls" in the plural. These things are f***ing expensive I'll have you know! Even in the good old days of proper student grants they were something you saved up for. (I know, bundy, you explained that you get in on the cheap by working through the night.)

You're right there, MMW. Minimum of £120 for a ticket, usually much more. Mind you, I have only ever paid for one ball ticket in my life. The rest I got by devious means or, like the other night, by doing a couple of hours work and getting in for free. Some of the students at Mr B's college went to a ball every night last week. Now they must be loaded!

LOL!!! You don't know what the devious means I mentioned are!
OK, rephrased thus: ' a couple of hours of pouring champagne'

Nope. Not any more. That's where their student loans go to, I guess
