What is a hipster? Look at this fucking hipster...

Me too! :D
He's a funny cunt when he wants to be...

My first pint cost 13p.

I thought currency hadn't been invented yet when you had your first pint?

It isn't about cool, it's about community and energy, innit? I love hustle and bustle and mixing with people from all over the world, it's how I was brought up so where I feel most comfortable... Wandering around Brixton Market getting my shopping on Saturday morning is one of my favourite things to do in the week, one moment you're in Ghana, then in you're in Kingston, then Bogota, then Lisbon... It's fucking awesome... Problem comes when you realise you've stumbled into a pocket of fucking Clapham that's slipped in the back door... I grew up on council estates in Pimlico where there was a huge immigrant community, moving to Chelsea in the early 90s was like going to Hell for me... A very safe, pleasant Hell, but Hell nonetheless...
Hipsters move in, estate agents clock it, area gets gentrified, all the good people get priced out, area ruined... What Graham said really...
@ Graham: Might be up for some drinks if I've finished my antibiotics... :

Lovely... you had me welling up there

I miss the old London too..

Back in my day.. when a whatsit? a pint? used to cost 1 pound? wtf is a pound? you weigh your money?

i remember when a million was a million!

slough rocks...

Lovely... you had me welling up there

Call it a rehearsal, you'll be crying into your pint tomorrow night, sunshine...

friday night it's full of twunts from chelmsford drinking in the hip and edgy part of town before they get the last vomit comet back from liverpool street.

i just did a big lol.

Me too.

I went to school in Chelmsford so me and my mates used to go out and get pissed on a Friday night in Chelmsford, then I'd get the last train back to Romford. I don't know if it's still the same but back then the last train to London was about 2.5 hours before the last train out of London. So while I was going home I'd have to sit next to pissed Teddy Boy wannabes trying to get into London, already puking. I once saw a guy with a bleeding head throwing up in some girls shoe while she was puking up in her handbag at the same time. Grim sight. And this was on the way into London...

I went to Shoreditch three times when I was in London. Each time I felt like cutting my manhood off, puking on it, and then cramming it into my back door sideways.

Don't forget the chargrilling pre-insertion... Missin' you in sarf London, Andy... :]

Seriously changed round there now - think they cal it Lower Belgravia these days! Still some of the best ol school Italian Delis in Pimlico though

The delis are brilliant, I love having them there.

I live right by the Churchill Gardens estate, the King William pub is my local. Does that make me posh and/or a hipster?

No the king william is shit its my local though so I can feel your pain!

I live on the estate and used to live in page street small world eh lol

Brick lane/shoreditch/whitechapel etc used to be dope a few years ago I used to love it when they played D&B in 1001 and before places like alhambra gave out membership cards!

The WIlliam used to be (maybe still is?) the most dangerous pub in Pimlico, full of wrong 'uns from Tachbrook Estate on the gear... I went to school with a lot of the nutters that drink in there, bumped into a load of them in the Lord High Admiral watching CFC on Portuguese satellite TV one Saturday... Never been back, it was mayhem... Pride of Pimlico and The Pimlico Tram on Tachbrook Street are another coupla winners as well as The Surprise at Pimlico on Vauxhall Bridge Road and The White Horse on Sutherland Street... Nutter pubs...

How old are you teenslain you most know a few people I do - Lord high is okay sometimes and the pride is more or less local or dont come in gotta love the lock ins around pimlico! at least the will has a minature pool table..........you should see it when they do "raves" there

How old are you teenslain you most know a few people I do -

I'm 42... I left the area many, many moons ago tho', so haven't seen any of the old school mob in donkeys... Not sure I want to either... My sis still lives on Regency Street... You born and bred 'round there?

More or less born in the old hospital on page street - am only 24 though, dont blame you really place is a bit of a shithole at times but hey we got community spirit! and its nicer than canning town where i had to spend half my childhood doh!

I hear that, Canning Town is beyond shite... You'll have to get out to central beers soon, next sunny Tuesday or summat? Or come down to souths, it's brilliant... Be good to chat about the old barrio... :]

I still need to pick up my frame dont wanna turn up on a geared bike......I just wont fit in! lol

Don't worry about that, I can still remember when JimJams rocked up to souths on his Raleigh Lizard... That was only about six months ago... ;]

BTW, this all reminds me of this:

Which is awesome. A lost poster, but the dog was never lost... it's just a declaration of how motherfucking awesome the dog is.

Guess I havent got any excuses then!

hmmmm....

so funny, the trackstand.. hahaha

the link to that hipster thing is my facebook status. i am such a hipster!

Yeah, I swear the only people who use the word 'hipster' are 'hipsters'.

get a room you fucken hipsters

To be fair, I still like london and I am guessing most of the rest of you do to. Otherwise we would all have moved to Reading, Southampton and Ipswitch to setle down. Shorditch is full of hipsters. So what, it is a better night out than hanging out with the loafer crew of Portsmouth. Good for people watching. Seeing people with the guts to leave the house looking like compleat twats and looking like they own the place. All good fun. Having said that, Highgate is still better. Knowing the people at the local shop and the landlady at the local pub make a big diference to where you live. Rant over.

Loafer crew of portsmouth? More like loafer crew of Dalston, they're well part of the hipster uniform at the moment, along with slicked hair and a certain style of wax jacket that makes you look like a Parisian teenage girl.
