I have to add this up myself? Let me get my vintage abacus out

Did you find the vintage abacus at a trendy thrift store and pay over the odds for it cause it looks geeky and trendy?

16, took a massive hit on the beer question, problem is I was drinking ale before it became trendy (7/8 years ago) and I'm only 31 and a CAMRA member.

Before it was mainstream...

Haha, beat me to it!

Been going to Warrington October CAMRA beer fest since 2000

his. No option for eating out in an actual restaurant, not having an iPod, or using a computer not made by Apple out of choice.

Suppose being annoyed by this means we're definitely not hipsters, then.

I own zero apple products and don't use their services (iCloud/iTunes)either

I feel so sad for this generation. What a st time to be young. My late teens and 20s were pills, lasers, decks and mayhem. These tragic fks are unicycling between coffee shops.

Or under buses.

We had fun in ours, staying out till past midnight blasting down pitch black pathways on MTB's or 125's

Pretty much constant fighting for the hell of it.

Then early to mid 90s rave scene, sometimes I woke up with zero memory of how the hell I got from where I was to where I slept or who the hell this was next to me.

Then I joined the army and shot and blew things up for a few years

Aged 15 to 23, I had a lot of fun

That makes me more worried than the quiz. Not got an allotment but we grow our own veg, own an aeropress, like steak and the occasional decent burger, and have enjoyed a Wes Anderson film. Couple that with a liking for real ale and the occasional craft brew, as well as my own homebrew, it sounds like I might be in trouble.

Had to check who he was on IMDB, I have not seen anything he has done

Thing is though is I live just off Beech Road in the part of Chorlton, Manchester.

Chorlton is hipster central for Manchester once you leave the Northern Quarter of the city centre.


I see these rejects all the bloody time.


Strangely being a non hipster, short hair, clean shaven, normal clothes, chatting to ladies in the local pubs n bars is much easier, as I think even they get fed up of the high hipster count.

Had an almost fight with 3 of them about 3 weeks ago at the Horse and Jockey in Chorlton.

Did not seem to like me and my Gary having a good chat with 2 girls at out table, so when I went to get fresh drinks, one waited till I has coming back out the door and jumped into my empty seat and gave some attitude, much to Gary's consternation, an argument ensued, when they realised 2 ex squaddies are not going to back down, they moved away, but the atmosphere had been ruined and the girls left.

After we moved inside, the instigator decided to try and evil eye Gary by following him, quick word with the bar staff had him ejected and barred.


Hipsters, bunch of lefty tossers.
