Chav-free holidays

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7853360.stm

I reckon that a red-blooded chav would run a mile before going on their hols with people called John, Sarah, James, Charlotte and Lucy ;-)

Sorry, neither the title nor the body of the post intrigued me enough to click the hyperlink. Point lost, I guess. Can we spell ENNUI?

Even more facinating is the article link at the bottom of the page under Features, Views & Analysis:

"Why are we suddenly so obsessed with man boobs?"

I'm not obsessed with moobs. I just accept them as a fact of life.

Should you wish to have a chav-filled holiday....

I've heard the term described, but probably do not have full appreciation, because I haven't experienced or witnessed the same. I do think this is hillarious, though.

Meanwhile, I'm thinking I will call my protagonist "Alistair McClean" should I ever write a spy novel.

too funny! I was talking about Chaves, not moobs.

The latter I unfortunately did witness by scrolling too far down the article.

The one good thing about chavs on holiday is that you know who to go to if you want some "nose candy."

Or should I write "nose Candice"?

Life skills must be what you have to excel in before you can study "performance coaching." Whatever that is. :rolleyes:

It sounds like something one would be ordered to obtain by a judge, in lieu of jail time.

It's the kind of crap someone called Candice would "study" at polyversity.

Candace is a Jordan clever enough to read the Daily Mail without letting you see her lips move.

Perhaps she could get her degree from this university

I rather fancy Business Management Strategy Co-ordination but Candice might like Hairdressing and Ecology

The problem here is that a Chav with moobs, sat chatting to Candice(with boobs like Jordan) about where to get Charlie would drive me mad.

Maybe I need more life skills!
