I hate

unshelled

Curious word. Unshelled could be like unsheathed, as in being removed from a shell. However it’s usually the opposite, as in not having been shelled, which is itself paradoxically the process of removing a shell rather than adding one.

He’s an idiot and an accessory to murder* but he was correct there I’m afraid.

*probably

That's kind of what we do (additional tip, find a decent takeaway that uses a shape you like and order from them regularly enough to remain stocked). However, it doesn't solve Kimmo's problem because you always store tupperware in the smallest drawer/box that will just accommodate them.

fucking baseball caps

The fucking Libertines in general can fuck off especially that doughy face wanker Doherty, vile creature but the media froth over him like he’s the second coming of Byron (and I don’t forgive him Kate Moss who, CSB klaxon, I was briefly related to by marriage)

I “met” Docherty, we were soundchecking before being (3rd? 4th?) support act at the falcon?/bull&gate?/another Camden dive.

To his credit he came and watched for a bit with two girls hanging off him. They didn’t have a deal at that point but there was a queue up the street to get in.

Me and my brethren wear baseball caps regularly. We also, unfortunately, have to call ourselves English 🙄
We pull it off but we're probably still cunts. So maybe the theory checks out. 🤙🏾

Anything with a lip at the front is a baseball hat to me, as I'm not usian.

An old band I was in supported him when he was in Babyshambles in the mid 2000's. He wanted to buy my Rickenbacker but his manager said no. He was really nice. Terrible music but he was charming and fairly normal for someone off his face 24/7

Cunts who are actually really nice can >>>>>>>

One CSB removed, but a friend used to manage the hotel Doherty owned. It was a shambles apparently. Think it went under a few years ago

Pete Doherty has convictions for drug possession, burglary, various car related offences and that’s before you get to the possible involvement in murder. He’d need to be more charming than David Niven to even offset that, add in that his music is wank and I’ll stick to my hate.

To counterpoint, I love Peter Doherty and almost all his music.

My best mate from school was married to her for a while, I wonder if it's the same person?

usian

I’ve heard Usonian bandied about, but it’s yet to catch on. As a brand, ‘America’ is just too popular.

I’m on the Usonia bandwagon, partly because I live just north of them.

It's USAnian, innit?

I like the way Usonia sounds, plus that’s the way it was coined by FLW.

FLW

?

Frank Lloyd Wright.

CSB incoming, Pure golf club thread fodder…

I met David Niven

I was 6 and was with my Dad in Cannes. David was walking towards us and my dad said hello to him thinking he was someone he knew.

David said “Hello dear boy, how is your son? “ and shook our hands grinning.
Dad realised, it wasn’t an old friend, but it was Niven as the legend strolled off down the street.

Paper Tiger was on TV a couple of days later.

So having met both, I can confirm Docherty doesn’t have Niven level charm

CSB! My grandad was on the same boat as David Niven during D-Day.

People who sell dirty bikes. Absolute scruffs of the highest order. I’m not just talking about dirty chains either - check out the state of this one I’ve seen on Facebook. Five minutes with a bucket and sponge is all it needs.

When retuning an item , that smaller companies now want the item sent backing using tracking and to be signed for.

Item cost me £4.99 to be sent, costing me £5.29 to be sent back because there sizing is bonkers. no way was there small 38" chest, looked like a kids size. Shame as I wanted to support them but spending nearly half the price of the item on posting is a bit much.

We should take David Niven chat to the I Love thread …..
