Rah Girls

ARGH! I hate all this complete bullsh*t about 'rahs'! It's a load of crap, just forget about it and stop having this conversation. Big wow, some people went to private schools and wear pashminas, but, just........ARGH!

Also, would like to point out that I am at Castle and went through state education my whole life.

you are a twat.

ummm so jelous?!?

If we're being completely honest here, the main reason people like you hate rah's is because they hate you first and its made you bitter. They're rich, stunning, dress well, speak well and yes, shallow as they are, they dont want to hang around with you because you're probably none of these.

Thats life. get over it as opposed to making childish remarks.

What a bloody generalisation!

"They're rich (materialistic) , stunning (superficial) , dress well (self-obsessed), speak well (condescending). and yes, shallow as they are, they dont want to hang around with you because you're probably none of these."

thankyou. you have just proven my point. Bitter, jelous response.

One of us is actually at durham.

One of us isn't.

Hmmmmmmmmm.

Edit: Wow, some people actually don't know when I'm taking the piss, do they? Ah well.

People of university age who still call their fathers daddy need lining up and shooting.

There is a strange correlation between "daddy-itis" and the amount of ralph lauren being worn, the presence of a pashmina and indeed if the person in question has just come from a "classics" or "ancient history" lecture.

I've got a place at Castle, but I dont know whether to take it, I was a little worried I might not fit in (i only went to comprehensives etc) but then I thought nah thats a load of rubbish this is the 21st Century, now I'm not so sure.

I'm going to Hatfield and I've been state educated all my life, if the rahs reject us we can form a society or something

Wow...unconditional for Castle...nice one!
Really don't worry about not fitting in. The stereotypes that colleges get are simply that...stereotypes. They will never truly reflect what a college is like. The best thing is to visit and see if you like it.
I agree with your thought that this is the 21st century- i just wish it were actually true...

- ‘I'm jealous and bitter of them? Don't flatter yourself.’ – hehe. I am not even talking about me you fool. How can I be up my own arse? Im talking about other people.

I'm sorry, I've tried to follow this and im just not sure I get it. So there actually are "rah" people who stand around talking about their money and stuff? I thought that was just a myth, or like, something that happened like 50 years ago, I honestly cant comprehend how anyone can seriously think that havin more money makes you a better person? I always thought people who still thought that were a bit...not all there...like in the head...like racists. These people dont really exist do they...you guys are all joking yeh? yeh?

Naivesincerity –

‘parrot-learned posturing’ à and what do you think your speech is? Do you think you’re the first one to make a judgement like this? Err no. I love the way you take the moral high ground as if you are such a genuine, honest person but you are just a hypocrite. You judge them just because they have money just like they judge you for not having any. Here’s a few faults to argument I’d just like to point out –

1)’ I'm not insecure enough to have to go on about money’ – ‘although by Dad now earns about early 70's grand a year, most of my life we were not that well off, he was on an academic salary’ ?!?

2) You make huge generalisations. I assume that by the way you speak about these people, that you’ve never actually had one as a friend, hence how would you really know if they were ‘intelligent’ or ‘likeable?’ Oh wait, of course – by looking on. Let me guess – you’ve had a few sit behind you in a bar, a few sitting in the back row of a lecture ummm passed some in the street?

3) you are right, they do dress the same. Its a trend and there’s nothing wrong with that. But I’m guessing this is where you fish them out for you’re ill-informed, generalised, assumptions on what they’re like inside. You see a girl with a coller up, pearl earrings, pashy and perhaps a posh accent and she’s automatically a ‘vacant’, ‘superficial’ ‘un-intelligent’ being. I can’t see how else you would make such accusations, its obvious you never really have a conversation with any as you would have never made you’re original statement –
"hahah hate the bloody rahs...so posh...so vacant...so superficial...so irritating...so loud-mouthed....so inane.......so mindless"

4) “Have you ever considered the possibility that the fact these people put themselves in cliques and feel the need to consciously exclude other people, is a product of chronic insecurity?” – what have they got to feel insecure about exactly? They don’t spend their time slating you lower classes yet you constantly spend your time slating theirs – I don’t think they are the ones with an insecurity problem here. And no. that is not the reason they hang in cliques. They hang in cliques because they prefer to hang around with people who have similar interests to them – same clothes, same hobbies (yes – this maybe hunting, balls, pony club – who cares) same backgrounds…and so bloody what if they want to only hang around with people of an equal class. That’s life. You don’t hang around with the local pikeys who go round with slap heads and kappa suits and they don’t moan on about it.

I am sorry to get so annoyed over this. Its just you don’t know these people and yet you think you do so well.

So everytime I comment on them it's a "bitter jealous response" yet when you yourself say the same thing ["Yes they are arrogant and snobby" and labelling them "shallow"], it's okay?

And when you say "any normal person would envy that" you really are quite a long way up your own arse aren't you? Why would any normal person envy someone who (in your own words remember) is arrogant, snobby, and shallow?

If thinking other people are jealous and bitter of someone just because they don't have as much money as them makes you feel better, then by all means, go ahead. But for someone who doesn't seem to like generalisations you do a very good impression of someone who does. I'm jealous and bitter of them? Don't flatter yourself.
