Used to live off my anecdote about accidentally pissing on Nick Heyward's beige cords at a secret Style Council gig, but that currency has been inexplicably devalued in the intervening decades.
Yahmobethere circa 6.30, quite happy to stand solo for a while supping hipster beers and blending in w/ the trust fund yuppies, toting bag full of chud
Wasn't there a time when your Empire produced its own slang?
Yah Mo B There was written by an Englishman. You must deal.
LarryMoe just got McCoyed
::sonned::
Not hardly, unless chud and yuppies were coined by Mr. Fuckin' Bean.
Never heard of Yah Mo B. It's cute that your precocious moptops are still observing US culture and ringing up their own swerves on it, though.
I do recall C. Hindes sticking out like a sore thumb; he in McEnroe sweatband, Fonda workout leggings etc. Weller, Merton Mick, Steve White and them in Parosienne chic w/ Chipie macs n sockless Weejuns. An incongruous sight.
Heyward looked like landed gentry. Elbow patches and so on.
Heady days, but with hindsight it was naff.
As a nipper I spent a long hot summer (or so it seemed) 'round a mates nearly every day, he had been into the vinyls a couple of years before me and had his own "Stereo" and everything. Divorced-dad-overcompensating-with-materialism-R.
I recall catching up with the Jam/TSC songbooks, League, early L42 and all the B.E.F. releases. All I had at the time were chart and Iron Maiden and Motorhead tapes offa the bigger lads on our estate.
Can't front on the talent of Heyward. "Love Plus One" and "Whistle Down The Wind" still evoke those times for me. Nowt to worry about 'cept trainer-oneupanship and glimpsing the female anatomy.
Heyward has always released goodness. Every album (even the indie rock ones) contains a couple of floaty pop gold nuggets, always with a strange chord or two thrown in that takes it well above more pedestrian purveyors of whatever oeuvre he's mining.
Holla! Should still be good to come tomorrow. Work demands and a head cold mean I will have to decline banglash slammers and no doubt leave as the party is starting but apart from that should be good to go. *teve, I will rendezvous at 6.15 at St Pauls and be on time this go round.
Nah, Junior is dude, if late there's a fine and noble reason.
So we have guest Ia* coming along, sometime strutter with an academic interest in the bootleg scene, promises not to bore you with it, and I took the liberty of inviting dude from the picture (hipster, pint, girl, portable-R) but no response as yet.
Because that's a RW move for the ages right there.
YOLO

Jimster you will be sorely missed

Since I'm not sure any of you know what I actually look like, I suggest you make like Shaw Taylor and keep 'em peeled for a dude with a salt-and-pepper beard (mainly salt). For further ease of ID, I will be rocking a heather-grey Stussy Berlin t-shirt.

Gutted, but truly unable to do it.
McCoy's Crown Paints "DALGLISH 7" shirt in the wash?

They didn't print the names on shirts in them days.
(I fear this thread may be about to collapse under its own weight)
But you may have wanted to distance yourself from the one KEEGAN.
Surely, with that amount of gravitas on your back, man would walk like he's pulling a black hole.
Without looking, are you still keeping "Gold and Popcorn" fresh?

I have love for the Kevster, and as his days as a Red pre-date the sponsorship era, I feel sure that those who know would know, if you know what I mean, and I think you do.
The blog is going through another of its lengthy fallow periods. I'm thinking it may be time to pull off the dust covers once more, as my Q column has recently been binned off (along with all the other specialist columns in the reviews section), denying my blatherings their one remaining for-profit outlet. I'm pondering a fresh approach, but I'm less certain about the details at this point.
Thanks Doc, I'm sure we'll all be visible to each other with unspoken insider vibes.
And Duder lives in a Cobainesque check lumberjack outfit.
Seriously contemplating a makeshift banner to rally round.
Most likely result of which will be a post-it note on a wooden coffee stirrer

As always, meet up was epic. Excellent to finally meet P**l and to build musical bridges over the territorial saga playing out on the tv in the background. Let's do it again soon.
Also fantastic as always to see L*o and St*ve and thank you for the chud jewels. Bonus to meet I*n as well, please to post in the future.
Also thanks to internet celebrity Dom for making two worlds collide, shrinking the globe, and blowing my brain so much that it took me over an hour to find my way back to Stratford meaning I am just about to undertake an epic mission. Pray I am not duttied.
Still want to do the national Strut meet up, let us start the planning for that up again in anger.
Yes great to meet up with Doc at last, junior n Duder again, Ian is a new plus and hope we can collectively help his goals. And Dom; great to see a RW phenom represent.

Jimster to start a new one
Really, do I need iOS 7?
What problem does it solve?
Windows phone here. All have their pros and cons, but this one does everything I want, the way I want.
Plus, Jobs upset someone I knew BITD.
You know me and my grudges. Ian Brown and dem.
No, do tell.
::eye roll::
Smiley wink
Poor choice of hue for a gig. If the barside beer-portage/elbow-fest don't get you, the khazis will.
I bet he was on the guest list though. Under the name...[ ]? :D

I ride.
6.15 St. Paul's, in the event of a no-show departing at 6.20
Sorry for the strictness, in work clampdown mode

Tho, I just finished watching an online feed (While at work) of my good friend getting married by Elvis in Vegas.
So I got that going for me.
