Where do you get these crazy ideas.

I'm fuckin well hipster!

for 15 long fucking years I've been getting angry about people ripping off skateboard style, shoes, clothes etc. Adverts jumping on the band waggon, companies like Nike deciding their sweatshop shite is now skate and down with the kids. I got angry about shoe prices going through the roof and twonks on neal street mincing around in skate clothes but probably not even able to ollie.

Now I've decided to cast my old life aside, I'm going to ride a trendy bike on brick lane, drink in old street and bask in my hipsterdom, If I could afford it i'd be decked out in head to toe in japanese shite bought at top dollar from BLB. Arrospok here I come.

It's actually quite a weight off my shoulders!

;-)

good call, and you've just reminded me why shite is such a good word.

Thanks for sticking up for me Smithy.. I was a bit worried about being a hipster for a bit but it turns out my jeans weren't skinny I'm just fatter now.. ;)

've repped for that one!

the first sign of being a hipster is denying you are a hipster.

it's the hipster catch 22.

just wear a helmet and use a rucksack, that cancels out all hipsterdom.

putting a bottle and cage on will also help.

Hey hey I'm officially not a hipster.
Can I be a swinger instead?

a working courier of your age should be called a Creaker

when people started buying nike "sb" dunks because they were special edition and they will never actually skate them you know things have gone wrong.

when i first started working in the area the truman brewery was still closed/empty and the only places to go of an evening were the comedy club and 2 pubs, food was brought from the cafe opposite the comedy club or from a kebab shop there was nothing else there apart from the rag trade, shoe/handbag wholesalers and suit warehouse called uomo dolemeti (sp?) commercial road was dodgy as fuck, not somewhere you went late at night unless you were a truck driver on a sex detour from dover to the a1.

i guess you werent working there in the 1960s... but have you seen those don mccullin photos of east london? obviously it has changed and look nothing like those photos, but i think out of all of london it is the slowest changing part, and you can still see a little similarity.

i wasn't born then :-)
