Lockjaw Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Ha ha. One! And that's only until he becomes the latest one shafted by Enterprise Inns and then, for a few hours, I'll be on zero. Result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMozzy Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I should imagine there's a lot of people who can tick all those boxes who are unhappy. And so have they really made it? I think this sort of nonsense is typical of the modern way of thinking that you have to own lots of stuff and earn lots of money to be successful. My grandparents did not have any of that but spent their entire lives together in happy marriage, brought up 3 children, had happy UK based holidays, were active members of the community. They probably had a lot more fulfilling lives than someone who works 80 hours a week trying to chase some vast salary to be able to afford their mortgage on their enormous house. Very well said. (I'm not going to even bother doing the quiz or test or whatever the heck they call it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 For those who don't want to read the link 50 signs a couple have made it: Holiday home Children go to public school Having a cleaner Having a nanny Frequent shopping trips to other cities Annual ski trips Pony riding lessons for the kids Have flown first class A driveway longer than 200 yards Wine cellar A summer house At-home gym Car for mainly weekend use Owning a sit on mower Personal number plate A hot tub Golf membership Enjoys sailing weekends A small orchard in the garden Home cinema system Has an orangery Shops at Waitrose Having electric garage doors A wet room Designer luggage Attending horse racing/Ascot every year A glazed conservatory Own an aga A TV larger than 55 inches Eat lobster His and her sinks Log burner A TV in every room Member of a tennis club Fridge with ice dispenser 400 thread count sheets Have a pedigree dog A wine cooler Takes the dog to doggy day care Takes the dog for treatments A Facebook page littered with foreign holiday pictures A golf handicap of under 15 A lazy Susan Owns a picnic hamper Matching bathrobes Own many gilets Own cricket whites First name terms with the local vicar First name terms with the pub landlord Have 2,000 Twitter followers And my opinion. What a load of tosh. ---------- Post added 05-12-2014 at 12:11 ---------- Yayyyy, i've made it in life, i'm on first name terms with the pub landlord...:hihi: I don't see how this one is a measure of any kind of success to be honest. I don't drink in any of the pubs local to me, and none of the city centre pubs/bars that I do visit have a landlord that actually works the bar. It's just a very odd list overall.

francypants Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Looking at that list................. I'm pleased I haven't made it. I'm not materialistic, I've got everything I want and I couldn't be happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Why would playing cricket (ie owning whites) be a sign of having made it? What if you don't like cricket? And golf looks extremely boring to me. I could play if I wanted. But it's about as attractive as waxing my legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubermaus Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I guess if a lazy susan is important to you then it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 If that's all you're missing to complete the set then you can pick one up from TKMaxx for about £15 We've got one. Never used it to my knowledge. Completely pointless thing unless you're sitting around a circular table for 10 or 12 and sharing dishes (such as at a Chinese restaurant).

Agent Orange Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 You could say I have made it. Not in a materialist way, as per the link, but in other ways such as having a perfect bill of health, a steady job, a roof over my head and having a great family and a great set of friends.

Olive Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 50 signs you have made it? 50 signs you've become a complete wazzock more like Very odd set of "achievements" on the whole. Can lay claim to a handful, but most I wouldn't be interested in. Some of 'em look like a list of "here's what you could've won" from Bullseye!
