Erm...


Perhaps so they/we know who they are, maybe.


Much like Ted's


In fact, running with the Ted theme. I knew a boy at school called Gary and him and his dad were both Teds. Everything was Ted with them as was everything they owned too. Ted car, Ted holidays & just about anything Ted. Gary wasn't the best Ted, he was in fact a bit of a Showaddywaddy Ted really. But his heart was in the right place. Sadly one day his Dad and three pals went out fishing, the boat sank & they all perished.


Over the years this sad boy matured into a heartbroken man, his only link to the past was to be a Ted, stay a Ted. All to keep his Dad's memory alive. I even saw his Ted wedding to his young Ted bride in the Littlehampton Gazzette one day. Poor boy, I felt for him & I can't see a Ted today or even Showaddywaddy for that matter without thinking of him, with his big nose and curly hair quiff.


Which reminds me, his Dad had lost most of his hair.


I wonder what Gary looks like now ?

Aw, look at this one. Anyway, hipster hating is so 2010.


The hipster, one ultimately concludes, is, as Jace Clayton puts it, really just "a straw man in skinny jeans", a punchbag for a broader range of consumer anxieties and civic ills*

Put "Wannabee" on the front and remove "creative, independent of mind, off-beat, edgy" from the middle and replace the lasts bit with "that's why they all look the same.", and you have your answer.

I happened to pass Meat Liqour last night. Biting wind and a long queue outside of 80 odd identikit, bearded, tablecloth- wearing, twitter users wired into their HTC's and blue toothing Bob Dylan bootlegs to each other. The early adopting hipster wave...soon to move on once the place gets into the Ace Nights Out in London section of the Easyjet in-flight magazine.

Mr Ben


You're being a bit mean picking on the wimpy kids.


Even if they were a bit hard they'd still contain themselves in the face of your onslaught.


How much individuality do you want from them there "Hipsters" ( & I take it you're a "shirt" btw )


How about an all in one rubber tube with arm holes and a flashing orange light on their heads.


Maybe?


Yadda as with anywhere that opens in the West end.


1. 1st 6 months is fairly cool

2. Next year is OK

3. There after like a Saturday night in Southend.

4. Premises boarded up.


Probably why ML's got a 3 yr lease.

Sigh...


Shoreditch & Hoxton are lovely in the week when I work there.

But come Friday night all-sorts (????'s mates probably) turn up.


The gel to hair ratio & pastel colours on men increases.


"Yeah mate, Shawwwditch is pukka "



I then make good my escape.

    • "attack on the tax", I posted a link, how was that an attack? I didn't write the article, so how was that an attack on the proposed tax?  Are you now saying what can and cannot be posted, when did you become Admin(NOT). 
    • Your post was an attack on the tax   I didn’t  address or mention you in my reply. Just pointed  out the problems with the article you then told be I wasn’t invited.  In no way am I bullying anyone. The reverse is true if anything 
    • The problem is, I'm not sure what the going rate is for park land for festivals of this nature. I'm sure they are paying less than outfits pay for access to the big stadia - but these have better facilities and are normally better for public transport. I am also sure that Councils could press for more, and should do so, but of course there isn't really a shortage of council lands to exploit, so these entrepreneurs could go elsewhere. What I would like to know is how much of the suggested £440,000 this year for Southwark is net profit - what are their costs in getting and administering this let? If this is a gross figure then what do they actually have as 'surplus'? But at least we have a starting point now - even if it's a guess I'm thinking it's a reasonably informed one.
    • Looks like owner of Persepolis is opening something late summer in what was The dulwich Beer Dispensary spot…  Excited about that
