Man you scream ******* hipster. [lol]

 

the weird thing is, I'm not.

 

These were the most comfortable glasses I found, I suck at growing facial hair (although its nicer now) and my ears get cold for whatever reason, so once it hits october, I'm usually always wearing a beanie because ever since I was a little kid, my ears have always been very sensitive to temperature.

 

but it makes people feel better if i tell them im a hipster, so who cares?

Interesting list Farnsbarns.......( I forgot to mention some of the original Cars, and the J.Geils )....In the work you do, it's a rather regular thing....

 

I imagine for many in certain fields it's a normal thing......IMHO, its easy to 'forget' that people are people, and want to be met as such, without the

 

perverbial " OH MY G*D !!!! IT'S YOU !!!!!! " stuff......I imagine E.C. is a very down to earth guy.....Pete Townsend, eccentric, etc etc.................

more added. I am sure there are more but I can't think at the mo. Oh, The Eurythmics...

 

Breaking news. Dizzy Rascal assisted me and my missus in the theft of a portion of noodles from the guest area at V festival.

 

I met about half of them through the wife at after parties and in guest areas rather than through my work. Julian Barret was looking in the window of a travel shop I used to work in so I went and introduced my self. I was 4 when I met Pollo Barnes but I stayed with him for a week so I properly met him. I trod on Robert Plants foot at an after party at a Goldfrapp concert. When I was a kid my best mates mum was Richard Stilgoe's PA, I met Peter Skellen through them too. Geoffrey Howe visited my school when I was a kid, so did Chris Accabussi. I met Faye from Steps before she was famous.

Oops, Double post, faulty mouse, always clicks twice, must order a new one.

 

Better use of this double post. UK members may have read in the papers a few months ago about a girl called Alison Cox who tried to poison the owner of Anne Summers with screen wash while acting as her nanny. I am close to being related. I went to school with her and then years later I met her mothers boy friend's niece (that's my wife)! I was amazed when I heard what she had done. I think she's still in prison. Haven't actually seen her since school.
