  1. Well I wouldn't go to Shoreditch if I were you, unless you like being laughed at. Not that I agree with it but apparently the trend setters really have it in for beards now. My friend who lives there said he had to shave his beard off after too much unwanted attention. The last straw was when he was refused service at an independent cafe on account of his beard. Personally I think that men should be able to wear whatever they like, within reason of course.
  2. Shoreditch is a hotbed for the latest trends. Hackney, Hoxton Square, Shoreditch are where most trends start off these days. It's where beards first became a thing and now they're everywhere. So what's your look Nogbag? Sounds like you've got it down.
  3. Bumping because nobody's commented yet. I'm interested in your opinions.
  4. I have a friend who lives in Shoreditch, East London. He gives me info on latest men's trends which will inevitably filter down to the highstreets of smaller cities like Bristol. Here's the latest ins and outs... Ins Massively baggy jeans. I've highlighted this before and we're already seeing them worn in places like Stokes Croft. Combat trousers, like we used to see in the late nineties. Statement/slogan bandanas. So a bandana with a single word on the part that covers the forehead. Vests. These are hugely on point at the moment and my friend predicts that even in the coming winter months we'll see fashion conscious men wearing vests without another layer/jacket. A smooth shave. Sorry all you beardies out there, your time is up. Big trainers with huge tongues. Outs Beards, as mentioned above. Apparently they're now considered to be way too common and are being laughed at in Shoreditch. Tassled shoes with no socks. Skinny jeans. My friend says they've been dying for years but now that they're heavily stocked everywhere from Peacocks to Sainsburys they've become particularly embarrassing. Tattoos. Bit of a tricky one this as they're notoriously long term so it's a hard pill to swallow for our inked friends who also care about being up to date fashionwise. According to my friend, tattoos are a victim of their own success and are considered way too mainstream now.
  5. Sweet Jesus H Mary Christ mother of Moses what the hell was that?
  6. Yeah, still it's going to be sad seeing luxury flats being built on top of it. Lots of memories.
  7. I think Shane's been enjoying some birthday tinnies
  8. I don't understand why this shouldn't be talked about in political terms though. It's surely possible to criticise the government without making political miles out of the situation.
  9. Respectfully, stop with the strawman. Fact is we had prior information on this and were slow to act, that's the point.
