UKRM gives me 100% social capital as most of the "who do you knows" are
UKRMers. The only one I couldn't tick was "peer of the realm".

 

Me.

Ok not this realm but I is (allegedly) descended from froggish hairy
stocks racey so I is decidedly more noble than yo.

 

My lot were owned by Henry V who was born in Monmouth. I can resume the
family tradition of murdering frogs if you want to get nostalgic.

 

You scored 60/100 for economic capital.
You scored 85/100 for social capital.
You scored 90/100 for cultural capital.

I think living in a rented flat possibly scuppers my economic capital a
bit.

There were a few I couldn't tick, but mostly because I'm not all that
bothered in what UKRMers do for a living, just whether they're
interesting or not, so I'm not entirely aware what the people I know do.

 

Living in this 1 horse town scuppered my cultural capital. If I could've
gone back a few months I would've scored loads as I did a tour around
Dublin art galleries, comedy clubs & shit with the O'Connell child.

Well, they don't always tell the truth. I put Adie down for secretary as
she's always typing whenever I see her. I forgot Cane for the
"megalomaniacal capitalist pig dog but I'd maxed out by then anyway. I
suppose the other thing with social capital is that I know a lot of people
who work in the big hospital about a mile away. That gives you quite a
cross section of society.

 

I was a just slightly more cultural but slightly less economic.

Presumably I should have bought a more expensive house, on tick, and
ploughed cash into a rapidly plummeting pension instead, or something.

 

95/30/20

Perhaps I should change my name to Ebenezer.

 

Hmm,

90/100 for economic
85/100 for social
50/100 for cultural

So I'm overpaid and spend my money in pubs. That's ok.

 

83/50/60

Us poor pensioners don't get out much.

78 for economic
60 for social
50 for cultural

I'm sure the last two would've been higher had there been a 'have you
been to a banjo party during the last 12 months'.

 

Was doctor GP or doctor as in phd? I misremember..

 

And having looked at the results detail, it appears to be somewhat
flawed. Sure my house is worth more than the national average, but it's
also in negative equity. So how does that give me higher economic
capital than someone who owns a 100k house outright?

 

91/100 for financial capital
40/100 for social
50/100 for cultural

I didn't count online 'knowings', only irl (but there are plenty of
ukrm-ers in that list).

Question: How many people thought of Sweller when asked if they knew a
train driver?

I was trying to calculate how many people I know in ukrm that I'd call
"posh". Couldn't think of any. More than a few outside ukrm, so I
reckon I'm slumming it here.

 

I was hoping no one would find out I was a doctor. And what
a surprise- Mrs. TOG's a sparky!

Truth be told I'm as much an electrician as A. Bonwick is a welder.

What's the point of calling anyone posh, unless it's as a taunt?

 

Muddycat?

 

Maybe you're more of a troglodyte than you realise.

Nor me. Maybe your UST-dominated musical taste scuppered you culturally.
That or living halfway to Wales, anyway.

 

I guess you might be referring to which side of an ocean liner they prefer
to have their cabin on.
