to feel a bit sad for the grumpy hipsters on holiday

[FatherHenderson]

We're in a very naice holiday town in the south west. Most holiday makers seem to be pretty happy to be here and are pleasant; the walkers say hello, the posh people off the massive boats seem quite cheery, the young harassed families all seem grateful for a smile, but my god, the London hipsters are so bloody miserable...

Everyone else manages a hello, or holds gates open, but the folk with asemetrical hair seem intent on scowling at everyone.

I'm not saying you should talk to people on holiday but AIBU to think that when you are on holiday, you should at least try not to be so bloody miserable?

There will be pop up sanatoriums all over Shoreditch.

Can you source an organic penny farthing from a local sustainable supplier?

They look cross because of all the botox. They can't smile even if they wanted to.

Thecatfromjapan - are you the loony on the tube that we've all been warned against? Don't talk to me, don't talk to me...

It is NICE not Naice . ffs

I procured a Penny Farthing briefly at Centerparcs. I say procured as one does not source things at Centerparcs.

Cat.
Please continue.
:)

Don't ffs the Naice.

There will be pop up sanatoriums all over Shoreditch

I wouldn't feel to sad for them, it's essential to spend your 20s being miserable.

FWIW Hipsters Lite have finally started appearing in the north east (after YEARS of my London living brother slagging them off). DH works with lots of them and enjoys shocking them with stories of going to University in the 1980s. Their appearance up here does of course mean that they are about to become very unhip indeed down in the trendy south and you won't see them in a couple of years. Unless you visit Middlesbrough of course.

I will ffs what I want ,

Its ridiculous ffs

Naice is a mumsnet institution

Much like a Shoreditch sanitorium

Naice is not the same as Nice.

Love the idea of pop-up sanatoriums.

There's a shop in Hackney that purveys everything one might need to live a neu-Edwardian lifestyle.

Naice is used in an ironic way.

I suspect it goes over your head though Rachel.

I expect if I had a beard as well my director would have been even ruder.
I once took a couple of hours of TOIL to go to lunch for my birthday and in the afternoon he thanked me for coming back from my hot date for a meeting.

Why that is a very naice moustache you are wearing upon this fine evening usual care to join me on the lawn for pimms and ironic ankle flashing?

Oh

Are we just doing ankles?

Will the Pimms on the lawn be served in jam jars?

This makes me think of a boy I went to school with. He was the stroppiest most "kevin and Perry" like teenager ever.

When we were 15 his mum insisted he went on the family holiday to Tenerife and when they came back she told us he'd spent the whole week sat on the beach with a face like a smacked arse wearing an Adidas tracksuit and a puffa jacket in 35 degree heat.

He was waaaaay too cool to enjoy himself on his holiday. The thought of it still make me

I have proper edwardian style ankles... Unshaven

And yes jam jars at the ready

Hang on, I'm on holiday on the Isle of Wight at the moment, and I haven't seen any hipsters...

Oh fuck, is it me? Am I an unwitting hipster?

Thecatfromjapan your post 23.52 has made my day. Please now write a novel or at the very least a daily blog in the same style. I absolutely insist.

As an aside, a 12 quid cocktail served in an old bonne maman jam jar makes me want to punch myself in the head.

We have a penny farthing rider around here but he is not a hipster . I think. What is a hipster anyway? Am I square to not know? Come to that, is it deeply uncool to say 'square'? Arggh! Anyway - back to bike-riding chap - he rides round in a suit and bowler hat.
