Welcome to the EDF bejam. If you thought DaveR's post was seething you'd better get yourself one of these*, standard issue...

*Bob Buzzard, I think I've found the niche market you're looking for...

If only you'd done a bit of deft editing yourself...

(Not sure why you think I would want to edit it anyway. I suspect your tinfoil hat is already firmly in place.)

Thank you for that helpful suggestion - where can you buy one of those hats? I'm really digging the homemade look (is that correct hipster speak?). I've just been to the friendly Balfe's today and bought one of those single gear bikes with flat handlebars as I think they're quite on-trend at the moment.

[red devil]

You can't buy one Bob, that was my whole point, there's a massive market of gullible eager buyers out there just waiting for the next big thing. Just imagine, Origami you can actually wear! And it's totally bespoke, no two hats the same. And with it being East Dulwich, don't forget the eco/recycling friendly angle...hat today, turkey foil wrap tomorrow!

[Bob Buzzard]

I like it - fabulous, just the thing for my planned new shop 'Dulwich Crease' - wearable origami - how hip! I'm off to get some Bacofoil from the LOCAL shop.

[red devil]

Don't bother Bob, I have a job lot of the stuff you can have after a homemade kite business failed to get off the ground...

[Bob Buzzard]

Ok, cool, ?20 for the lot?

[????]

I have a bowl of cereal that's yours for ?1.50

[peckham_ryu]

The hipster beard thing: is the fashion both collars and cuffs?

[Bob Buzzard]

Thanks for all the suggestions, my hipster look is now: tight jeans, converse trainers, black tight t-shirt, tweedy jacket, origami foil hat, fixie cycle - I felt so cool cycling down LL today to see my brother who lives on CPR.

[Take Note]

I think it's pogo sticks for real hipsters now. Bikes are soooo last Tuesday

[Bob Buzzard]

No - my bike is cool. I keep it in the bedroom so I can look at it as I go to sleep.

[Earl Aelfheah]

Fuck me this whole mock a bullshit stereotype from ten years ago thing is getting a bit boring isn't?

[????]

Do you play with your pogo stick whilst you look at your bike?

No - I just lean it carefully against the wall avoiding getting any oil / tyre dirt anywhere.

I think your ambition to become a hipster is noble and courageous. I wish you the very best on your journey and remember to be the change you want to see in the world. Love and peace :)

Thanks Bob B

Do hipsters drink lambrini, in a sort of post-apocalyptic limited resource ironic kind of way? I mean if that's the case then tonight baby I'm a hipster. The cherry lambo is out to play because everything else has been drunk and I'm finding myself talking to myself on here for the rest of the night because it's a school day tomorrow and everyone's gone to bed to dream of croissants and waitrose or whatever the good folk of ED dream about. Anyway, if I were a hipster, I think I'd quite like to visit one of the many pop-up burger restaurants/caravans or whatever coming into the area. Who needs GBK my good friends of ED when you can rough it with a cavier infused prime steak burger served on a rusty wheel trim in the back of a Peckham car park I ask you? I'm mentally there already. Chow down time on a beautifully presented in a working class ironic sense, at a price not to be sniffed at. What shall we say, 35 smackers for a cavier burger?

Louisa.

[uncleglen]

I hope, Louisa, that was a typo and you don't really intend to make a burger containing more guinea pig than is usual?

[DulwichFox]

In my day Hipsters were trousers (Usually Flares), which were worn with a wide belt with double buckle holes.

P.S. Its still my day. I've not popped off yet..
