Hipsters

  • I remember when Hipsters meant girls trousers that hung from the hips.

    Yeah I think at the time Hipster pants were fashionable Hipsters may have been called Beatniks? Or perhaps performance artists ;)

  • I was in kingsland dalston the other week.. picking up a load of spectrum things I'd won of someone who looked like Joe wilkinson... I almost called him Joe a few times.. hehe

    anyway.. it's sorta a hipster area, there and hackney (the C at the start is silent) .. and they were 3 .. on bikes.. wearing no helmets.. so you'll find less of them as time goes on, as they have no sense.

    anyone quoting they are a geek just because they are an iphone owner.. just ask em who "woz" is.. most are cluless, well until the latest film thats out.
  • "woz", that's surely World Of ZX, innit?

    When I worked developing mobile apps as part of my previous job, we had an admin, (and I saw plenty of the same when I went to industry events), who was a geek wanabe, but a geek by association, themselves lacking the technical abilities of the thoroughbred geek. They were married to a programmer, and worked amongst programmers but themselves were just a user/consumer of technology.

    It was the whole geeket uniform too, nerdy glasses and bookish (retro librarian) office wear. I would not have minded but she was super bossy and very convinced she was a true geek.

  • It's a funny old thing that mid life crisis. If any man in his 40's dare buy a red two seater sports car the woman all point and go 'eeeeerrrr mid life crisis... saddo'.

    However, its only then when the kids are growing up and the career is established that said man can afford one. It's also a time when he will drive it most well, with years of driving experience behind him and good reaction speeds. I'd love a red Testerossa. However, I could not afford a place to store it, nor would I have the time to really enjoy it. However, my kids are young.

    On behalf of my fellow old gits well said that man truth in every word!

    As for sporting young folks haircuts it would be nice to have the hair to do it. :-(

    I wonder what hairstyle fog will have when he grows older a luminous green Mohawk perhaps? :-)

    The Irony is that those T-Shirts are actually quite hipsterish in style. I'm sure a hipster would wear this just for the Irahnee!!


    "I just love all that quaint british Irahnee, I've godda have that shirt"

    Maybe the Hipstet Santa would rebel against a atypical 'Hipster Beard' in a vain attempt to alternative.

    Let's think of some Gits the Hipster Santa might bring. What about this USB keyboard for the iPad.

    What happens when hipsters get old? Will they still be hipsters in their 50's. They'll be like pensioners were when we were kids, going round with a bag on wheels but this time just because its 'so kitsch'.

    One new phenomenon I've seen is that Quad skates are making a come back amongst the hipster youth with many some girls choosing to live in a 'roller-girl' fantasy world.

    The actual word you're all after is 'C*nts', not 'hipsters' simply 'C*nts'. Utter vapid pointless sacks of flesh that steal the very air that I need to breath. They should all be shipped out to my , already overflowing, island of hate along with Pears Morgan and Chris Moyles!!!

  • Spending pennies like you're made out of copper-plated steel, you!
    Looks like there's a completely free AND perfectly adequate loo right by the entrance there, all painted in red to make it more obvious.
    What now?
