?Rob da Bank? ? robbed of imagination?


kanga

Recommended Posts

So Rob da Bank says in one of this evening?s freesheets that he likes living in East Dulwich as there are ?not too many suits?.


Judging someone by their occupation (or dress for that matter) is lazy social shorthand at best, and more likely just plain prejudice (Occupationalism? Dressism?)


So piss off, you crusty. I?m tired of seeing you in that stinky rainbow-striped sweater every time you manage to claw a few inches in the press. Those ?suits? are probably the very same demographic that are tuned in to your middle-of-the-road choonz, man.


And while I?m at it, what a banal, idiotic choice of pseudonym. Let?s hope your kids don?t inherit your narrow-mindedness and lack of imagination.


Rant over.

Didn't know he was local. I wonder if he'll give me a lift to Bestival this year? Also, any chance of a free programme? I thought charging ?5 for them was a pisstake at least, after the not so cheap ticket price and the rain. Can't you do anything about the rain, rob?

Let me guess kanga, you wear a suit? In fact, are you a suit? And he said he liked it because "There are not too many suits", not because "There are not any suits" there's subtle difference.


And having a go at someone (who you have to admit is pretty good and successful even without a suit) because of their name is rather stupid. I'm going out on a limb here, are you an estate agent?

Bit harsh for you Mark, is Rob your mate or something?


Personally, I'm with Kanga, I think he looks and sounds like the son of

If I walk into a pub populated by people in suits, I try to get out as quickly as possibly.


Nothing personal about the people in the suits individually, but suits en masse = a load of people tenuously connected by a workplace they despise, feeling obliged to go out for a drink with colleagues in order to drone on about what happened in the office that week and perhaps try to get off with someone which undoubtedly they will come to regret come Monday morning.

I'd like to think that I'd walk out of a pub full of suited types too, but then I'm thinking that'd be a pub in the city, and I wouldn't bother going there anyway. I'd also like to think I'd walk out of a pub full of people with names like Rob the Bank, let's call it the Bishop.


Lol keif.

HUMAN BEING IN INABILITY TO RECOGNISE THE BLATANT CONTRADICTORY NATURE OF THEIR OWN ARGUMENT - SHOCKER!



Edit: For our good and the good of all his church.

    • A repetitive tried and tested cycle that seems to be slowing down in London thankfully. Brixton was the start. Councils consciously and purposely let an area decline until that area is next on the list for social and ethnic cleansing and ultimately gentrification. In come the first wave of arty/ creatives to squat and house share. A few coffee shops and cool but inexpensive cafe/ bars and art spaces open up. The crackheads, dealers and other assorted criminals who were once left to operate openly and brazenly to sell, shop lift, mug, beg, purchase,  publicly consume on decent folks doorsteps, stairwells,in bin sheds and without fear of the law begin to be targeted, rounded up and moved on. A few more jaunty and sustainable coffee shops/ bars appear . The Guardian and other facilitators in the media jump on the bandwagon, first claims of vibrancy are rolled out. Next step a few cool retro clothing shops pop up selling ' reclaimed Levi's for more than they originally cost and ten times the price of what the recently departed charity shop charged. Foxtons open a branch and the arty types and first wavers/ drivers have there first moan about there initially paltry rents going up. The guardian do a generic lets move to Brixton, Dalston, Hackney, Deptford, Walthamstow type double pager. Interview a graphic designer or two who have just bought a former crack den on the manor for next to peanuts. They will later bemoan the next wave who have more money than them. Cool, edgy and vibrant are now the buzzword bingo must use lingo. Few more coffee shops ( how original ) Pop up everything,. Organic and sour dough move in. The night time economy starts to thrive, more cool bars and eateries open. More squats and the last crack house that was once one of many are cleared out. Second wave is around the corner.   All of a sudden there's a visible police presence again and the streets are safe for fun seekers with plenty of disposable cash to chuck about on a dose of vibrancy with added coolness. By this stage even the locally brewed beer is organic. There's queues outside the newly arrived organic, sourdough, artisan and sustainable bakers. Instagram has Brixton trending. The greasy spoon of thirty year has gone cause the lease is up and the landlord has hiked the rents up by 60/70%. Followed by small family run independents that served the community  for decades and more.  The local characters, activists, eccentrics are getting less and less. There's a new show in town for a week or two and until the next brand arrives. Brewdog move in. Former job centres are converted into bars but peak edginess means it's still called the job centre. Followed by a couple more chain eateries. The resident DJ'S and music venues are replaced by another generic brand boasting guest chefs. The Guardian lifestyle section is now on it's fifth or sixth orgasm. Turn a few pages and hypocrisy is rampant with articles on the evils of gentrification, foxtons, capitalism, social cleansing and unaffordable housing. The middle classes continue to arrive in there droves to buy into the vibrancy and multiculturalism supposedly on offer. There isn't much multiculturalism going on at the packed latest place to eat, drink and fart. The multiculturalism on show comes in the form of bar staff, doorman and cheap as chips uber drivers and delivery workers. Rice and peas, jerk everything, red stripe at six quid a can from some hipster haunt that is currently flavour of the month and the place to be seen. The first wavers are now blaming the latest hedge funded brand that's pulled into town for driving gentrification and there soon to be hastened departure to be first wavers again somewhere else. Less cool but up and coming here we come. Covid has certainly helped/ been a factor in slowing down the process of gentrification. I also think it may be the driver for almost putting a stop to it. Remote working, less need to move to London to be near an office, less disposable cash, sky high rents, worthless degrees that relied on that disposable cash , different priorities, knife and gang crime and a large dose of much needed realism has put a huge spanner in the works for the shitty process and cycle that is/ was the gentrification and social cleansing of working class London. Manchester and Liverpool is next on the list for the planners. Thankfully.
