Kinda negates the point of trying to be healthy
Awesome, looking forward to it!

You're a big guy.
This is surprisingly good. Not usually my kind of music.
I don't really know any new music
I guess this is from within the last two years? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3o1gruYv0pM#t=80

Pretty interesting article I stumbled upon earlier. Basically dissects the assertion by Bret Easton Ellis (novelist perhaps best known for American Psycho) that generation Y (anyone in their 20s right now) are a bunch of wusses. Do you guys think it's thread worthy? It basically links the weak spine behavior to growing up with access to the internet and developing alongside it.

Thanks! We get that so often "I thought this would be shit but it isn't", feels good
We did it ourselves. I 'directed' it I guess, it was my idea and nobody thought it would work so I feel good that it came out ok. Laura and Johnny both helped film it too Laura edited it. We're DIY as hell.dapperbandit

Definitely thread worthy, although my irony meter is having a hard time with BEE calling anybody wusses.

Coco Shreddies are tasty.
I used to eat Krave but that felt too much like a treat.
Sometimes I eat FOUR weetabix slabs at once.

I'm on the weetabix at the minute. The golden syrup ones are well nice.
Just two though daps, fatty.

Not even three? And the golden syrup one is a bit gross. Not as bad as the chocolate flavour Weetabix, actually the worst cereal I've ever tasted.
And I'm not fat I'm skinnyfat, flabby and emaciated all at the same time. Like that dude from Pan's Labyrinth with the eyes in his hands.

ain't no more my friend, ain't no more! i would like to the topic on here but i am on my phone... and lazy.
also i ate a gregg's bacon roll for breakfast. oh.
I really really really want it on Vita. It is sad.
We like Krave. If you want pure chocolate goodness though Marks and Spencer do a triple choc crunch. AFAIK it's the only cereal which officially doubles as a dessert (ie the packet says you can splodge some cream or ice cream on and you're good to go).

@Londoners - do you know any nice rock/metal pubs around that aren't super expensive and most likely in Camden? The ones I've found are always mega full, super overpriced and for some unknown reason full of tourists. I'm just looking for a place to chill with nice music.

You need Manchester for that. Everyone is this thread will agree with me. I guarantee it.
You are a master baiter.
As for rock clubs, The Barfly is pretty good but commercialised now. It tends to be the case that bands do gigs in pubs, so you gotta find a band you like and go to the venue they chose.

Ok.
Just off the top of Charing Cross Road is Crobar, it's small but plays awesome music and is a nice place to chill.
Round the corner used to be The Intrepid Fox which was awesome, but sadly this closed due to Crossrail. Happily they have reopened in a new venue near Archway but I've not been yet so can't say what it's like, but they do have live bands.
On Holloway Road is Big Red which is a great American style rock pub with a cool jukebox playing banging tunes. They also do amazing food here and regularly have live bands.
Camden obviously has lots. Worlds End right opposite the station is quite popular and does get busy but there's usually room. The Black Heart round the back from there is great and has a really good selection of beers. Also does good food. Close by is also Brewdog, a chain but a good one. Further up Camden is Hawley Arms which used to be good but I haven't been there in a while.
If you want to know about clubs/club nights let me know, there's a fair few decent ones.

All Brits should be born with a brolly in their bag. Need to be prepared at all times.

I use to love metal and rap rock. I went through my Linkin Park/Limp Bizkit phase. Now it's too loud/jarring for me. I'm no teenager anymore.

hear hear! i love metal, the really heavy fucked up stuff like coldplay and 5ive.
Nope. When I'm not doing 5/2 I follow 16/8 as I don't lose too much weight that way, mostly maintain yet still eat whatever the fuck I like.
The whole breakfast being the most important meal of the day thing is pants of the highest order, absolutely zero scientific evidence behind it. I drink black coffee (no milk or sugar) at about half seven, lunch at half ten, dinner by half six and then no more food until half ten again the next day. Works wonders for me.
I do whatever the fuck I like at the weekend, life's too short.
Yeh, but a bit too early for brunch. Brunch is 11ish in my opinion.
We can't all be lazy fucks, some of us have been at work for almost 4 hours at that time, so definitely lunch for me.

I actually have a mild phobia of umbrellas and hate walking near people holding them.
Something about eye level prongs.

Yeah I have a hard time taking that kind of criticism without a grain of salt, it seems to be a generational thing to shit on the next one down the line for not having backbone. Also I just realized the article is pretty old, so instead of posting a thread I'll just post this video that sort of encapsulates the zeitgeist of what is being said (alongside a sweet soundtrack I might add):

I never understood this mindset. I'm as much into pounding house, harsh electro, bouncy hip-hop and abrasive punk as I've ever been. I can't understand why you'd get to a certain age and suddenly decide it's too noisy for your fragile ears.
I just get into more and more new music as I get older and stick it on the pile. I've only recently got into stuff like blues, funk and soul, but it's all good mane.

Umbrellas are for girls, real mean just get wet.
(I often shelter under one if a girl I'm with came prepared, but I usually carry a clutch bag and a brolly just won't fit.)

I'm on a Shalamar drive at the moment, give them a whirl if you haven't already.
Got off the phone with my mum recently. Apparently my brother has broken up with his girlfriend for the fourth and final time and now wants to leave the Isle of Harris forever and spend some time at my Dad's in France. He marks the occasion of his leaving with a big pissup and the next morning misses his ferry to Skye. On his second attempt, he makes it over, but gets lost trying to find his friend's house on Skye. He has no credit on his phone and is is finally found three hours later when they went looking for him. He stays the night then leaves and gets on a bus to Glasgow. Some hours later it becomes apparent that he has left his debit card at his friend's place and has no money in his wallet. The only thing he does have is his easyjet ticket. He arrvives in Glasgow and manages to make a phone call to my mum to let her know what's going on. He's told that he's an idiot but things should be okay if he just waits and the card gets put in the post. All good. He then goes into a bank and cancels his debit card and get's a new one sent...to Harris.
I sit and listen to this and my expression resembles this:

Fucking hell Daps, your bros staggering ineptitude amused me greatly. Cheered me up right good! You couldn't make it up.
Will check out Shalamar Drive.
(Could've linked, punk.)
I generally like the music, it's rock with balls. But I often find the lyrics and vocals really trite and corny.

I don't really like metal either. It's usually incredibly adept technically, particularly the drumming, but a lot of it is so earnest and po-faced.

Yeah he's funny like that. I mean, I'm sure he feels like shit right now but his story is funny. I'll probably go out and see him in mid September, see if I can cheer him up.
Also, the band is just Shalamar. When I used the word drive I meant I was listening to a lot of them. You might not recognize the name but I'm sure everyone in the thread has probably heard these songs in their lifetime.
