LOOKING GOOD! F*CK YEAH! more people should try it.


I wore my Phoenix bomber jacket to the gym on Saturday in honour of this thread. Tomorrow, I'm taking three hipster Swede clients out for dinner - might wear my Olivia Newton John t-shirt and a vintage kimono.

"Nowadays someone who sticks old agricultural implements on the wall of a Los Angeles motel regards himself as on a par with Michelangelo; moreover, since all their friends are dickheads, too, no one is about to disabuse them. Hell, on Planet Dickhead just turning up the trip-hop can be a work of unalloyed genius"

Trust you to give them ideas.


From DRD:


"We're shocked and saddened by the response to Death Row Dinners and are genuinely very sorry for any offence caused. The pop up is intended to explore the concept of last meals; anyone who has ever been to a dinner party has probably had this conversation ? what would they love their last meal to be.


In light of the response to the idea we are considering our next steps and will update everyone with our decision."

Even without having been there and seen this person, I am finding myself hating them with far too much passion.

naaa, even when i was young and travelling i found your full moon party type hippy utterly insufferable.


And to be honest anyone who has the guts to make a business, even one as wanky as the last supper, complete with prices quoted in pieces of silver and ersatz roman shoe leather scents wafting around, gets respect from me.


It's the ones railing about injustice, and bartering the life out of their fake hessian coffee sack to furnish their overpriced flat off brick lane that mumsie is paying for....in their 30s!!!! that get my back up.

Oh whatever. Dancing with a cunting hula hoop on the train platform? I'd have wanted to stab him at the height of my social life.

Just for the record, it was a she. Replete with ethnic skirt and fake bindi decoration. And Beatz headphones. That finished the job off for me.


You know, I actually don't mind that scene that much. I've enjoyed the fact that Peckham now has some interesting bars and ironic country music nights. I love red wing boots, raw denim and plaid shirts.


But a ?$%&$% hula-hoop?!

    • I was lucky that I received a student grant from 1990-1995 first 3 years for degree and 2 years post graduate bursary. Both were based on my income and I did not have to pay back. Eldest daughter got student loan and after 20 years managed to pay it off, Youngest daughter still paying hers 18 years later. Granddaughter - still paying after 6 years. Grandson decided against FE and secured an apprentenship. I am glad that I am an old codger and not young anymore !

    • It is not only Southwark - our grandson, partner and 7 year old had a one bed council flat for years in Harlow Essex and all the properties offered were in poor condition. They eventually took a property as if they refused another one they would drop to the bottom of the Housing List. It was damp and in need of a level of renovation. Having lived in these conditions for a while they were offered better council accommodation recently, but further away from child's school. They had to pay 2 lots of rent for a few weeks as council had to undertake work in the new premises before they could move in,
    • Just had an interior decorating job done by Andy. The final outcome looks lovely and he did some remedial work at the same time to fill in gaps in the ceiling (due to previous electrical work) and to remediate any similar areas to ensure a polished overall look. Would highly recommend him for any similar job, he quoted a very reasonable price for the job as well. Thanks Andy!
