I’m on the way to a friend’s house in Bournemouth for a birthday. I feel terrible. A hangover layered on a hangover. Groooo…. It's your own fault you sociable bastard. |

Take that, LB; that from the man who starts his day by trying to traverse the obstacle course to the coffee, suppressing screams as he steps barefoot on toys. We must sympathize with Crank... |

My day started with the child asking if she "looked stylish" with her choice of clothes. I of course said yes.
She then slapped me in the chops with "you're wearing that lazy jeans and T-shirt combo?". Apparently Taylor Swift wouldn't be impressed with my combo.

Morning lovelies. Even you.
I have been bleeding all over the house. Every room.
The radiators are noticeably warmer for it.
Now off to make a bolognese sauce for tonight’s tea. PM will have hers with mash as she is weird about spaghetti.

My day started with me eating a burrito standing up in Waterloo Station. Like a goddam animal.
I suppose a couple of hours had passed before that point, but I may as well have been sleepwalking…

I put the burrito away very efficiently. It was only at the end that a jalapeno slice came loose, with a hanging piece of tortilla, forcing me to push it all into my mouth and wipe the sauce and sour cream away from my chops.

I just went past a lumber yard. I imagined what it would be like to run in and smash it all up with my hammer - hopefully to find the loot chests and ammo boxes hidden amidst the logs.

I watched the last episode of Boba Fett last night. My heart sank when Boba - Mr Fett - called the robotically modified Vespa riders ‘mods’.
Ah man. Tatooine doesn’t need mods. The planet Earth doesn’t need mods…

My sister used to identify as a mod. An odd bunch of people. The men always dressed as if they were going to a 1960s wedding.

Lazy. The mod aesthetic is ok.
I know you wear cords - which are a staple of the modernist. Desert boots? Mod. Chinos? Mod.
The standard "Indy" look is a take on the modernist.

For shame; before seeing the films, junior should read the books. This especially holds true for Lord of the Rings, if they can get through the long, slow first part of Fellowship, they will get to appreciate the full grandeur of JRR's creation. Not the least, because once a child has learned to read, they can enter mystical, fantastic and dangerous worlds that will distance them from their RL concerns and will stay with them through life. Oops; a bit preachy that... it's the ancient librarian in me rousing its wizened date stamp. Next please! |

I do wear cords. I do wear desert boots. I have some ‘slacks’ (but they’re a bit tight now). My sister’s friends were big on the suits. It was almost fancy dress. I just found the music a bit much. After my first year at university I’d be lying in my bed at my parents house, as my sister got ready for work in the next room. I’d be roused from the land of sleep by Northern Soul, and various 60s stompers which definitely weren’t to my taste. |

My sister used to identify as a mod. An odd bunch of people. The men always dressed as if they were going to a 1960s wedding. I was a sort of mod, but, perverse as usual I loved motorbikes; big throbbing things between my thighs (calm down Tuffers)... but I had the long, long hair - down to my shoulder blades. Walking to school through a council estate was a trial by fear... there was a skinhead gang that used to try and catch me with the obvious intention of beating me to a pulp. Fortunately I could run like fuck and as they all smoked like chimneys I could outrun the murderous bastards. They had a long-running deadly feud with a rocker gang from Hainault. Shotguns, murders; mass brawls near Debden station. I hated 'lousy' Loughton in particular and Essex in general - ghods, even Walthamstow felt friendlier and safer! I miss my huge rabbit skin coat - it brushed the floor and I am 6' 1" - but it was impervious to that horrible, lazy, icy wind that makes its way out of Siberia to the East coast of England. It got nicked from the Ferry Arms when I was playing darts. 😡 You can draw a line from the old water tower in Hinckley to the Urals without anything higher in between. And the East wind bloooows |

I know a guy in his late 40s who still dresses like it's 1994, including the Liam Gallagher haircut and parka, years after even Liam Gallagher ditched them. Still, who am i to criticise if he wants to keep on 'having it large'?

I’ve seen the Gallagher men*. They’ve outstayed the Jarvis men. And the Morrissey men definitely seem to be a thing of the past.
* I tell a lie. It was one Gallager man I saw, a few years ago. But it was still a surprise.
