EC1 Collective

Have we done this yet?

I look forward to your comments.

I think it's been done elsewhere.
But in the absence of clarity: lolz.

There are a few 'on here' members

His website is equally entertaining.

Too easy

In the hipster thread, for some reason.

Slack for track.

The first thing you see:

A pre-vetted private members community

... is marred by A) first class cuntery and B) a fucking typo.

This is the epitome of what a certain guy called Marx was on about.

Freewheel for...?

I'm not sure how the tertiary economy fits within the means of production.

They should call themselves the EC1% Collective.

I tweeted him a slightly sarcastic tweet.

"We're not a cycling club in the traditional sense but rather a community of like-minded bike enthusiasts whose propensity to enjoy the finer things is maximised through an aggregated representation."

No way! I love maximising my propensity for the finer things through an aggregated representation!

I love marximising my propensity for the finer things through an aggregated representation!

Fixed.

Damn, I was hoping to aggregate my propensity for the finer things through maximised representation.

Hahaaaaa you all bit the bait, fell into my trap...

The Marx quote (Groucho Marx that is) I was thinking of is the comedy equivalent of the little girl running away do not want jpeg:

I don't care to belong to any club that will have me as a member.

In this case I wouldn't want to belong to any club that can't use the possessive apostrophe correctly on their 'mission statement'. Or even because they even have a 'mission statement'. Or numerous other reasons. Pre-vetted private members' club of bellwhiffs more like.

No way! ...

I lols

Pre-vetting seems a little tautological to me. Surely the whole point of vetting is that it is done pre-whatever?

You'll never be a member, you're not striving hard enough.

Pre-vetting seems a little tautological to me.

Absolute gibberish!

has @ùbér_grùbér seen this?

He was a founding member.

Allegedly.

I particularly like the way he carefully states his address sans postcode:

TWOTWOFIVE MEDIA, 102 STANSTEAD ROAD, LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM

The fact it's SE23, Forest Hill, and the building is just off the South Circular, pretty much opposite a Maplin, a Travis Perkins, and a garden centre, might detract a little from his carefully cultivated image.

I knew you would enjoy this.
It's a stew of vanity and delusions.
Perhaps we should send him a link to the "Politics and the English Language" essay by George Orwell.
