Ah, now were back to Flip Flops


On a very healthy and well toned leg and foot, good


Otherwise, they remind me of a raw pork belly chop resting on a polystyrene meat tray

Didn't mention 'good looking' but 'good shape' can be pleasing


Be honest, what's attractive about a hulking great bacon joint of a foot, squashing a Flip Flop to near invisibility under its mass


That said; i'm getting hungrier after writing the word 'bacon'


Weird eh !

Fashion victims are the worst, you know the type, the bods who feel they must wear what they are told to by the media, their peers, and whatever advertising campaigns want to foist on them. Sad individuals who have no individuality and have to be told what to wear and how to wear it.

Ha ha! The 20 worst hipster bands. Some forum regulars may disagree. El Pibe, DC and Strafer - I'm looking at you.

Not heard of most of them, liked that "We are young" song by Fun, Love Mariner's Revenge by The Decemberists, and saw them live which I quite enjoyed even though I couldn't name any of their other songs (that gig was my first experience opf the smoking ban, which put a dampener on it, but we'd smoked a big joint outside before hand so could have been worse).


I don't know much about Arcade Fire, but I did catch a bit of their set at Reading some years ago and they looked fun. Don't know any of the others.

wow, angry men, I don't really see how arcade fire suck the life out of music though i can see how some critics suck the life out of life.


To be fair most of them predate the current interpretation of 'hipster' some might be better described as emo i guess.


Of course when critics go wild it's prefectly sensible to reappraise. I like Sleigh Bells, but they were never as good as some critics suggested. I always thought they were more like the Bangles than Babes in Toyland, but then I always thought the Bangles were hideously underrated and had a great ear for pop.


The Decemberists are quite simply wonderful though what they have to do with hipsters other than some of them may or may not like them, is anyones guess. But my favourite live act.


Beirut, good first album, but ultimately just a poor man's Neutral Milk Hotel...who by the way were brilliant last night!!


I did go to a bright eyes gig and had to leave after half an hour as i wanted to gun down the audience with a machine gun.


Waaves are awful though.

They didn't do Mariner's Revenge A.K.A. "The Whale Song" when I saw them. For which I will never forgive them (being as that's the only reason I went).

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡

      I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.

      This has given me ideas for the ginger wine I love, that no one else likes!
