Gibberings CLXXI: No Twattery Allowed - Waiting on Raas's Call

Cunts who take pictures of their dinner in restaurants are a mile out.

Posting their tea on Facebook as if to shout look at me and how amazing I am eating at wanky restaurant #5. If it is some mad good restaurant you must look a fucking nick snapping pictures of your spaghetti like it's a fucking tourist attraction. Stupid bastards. I'd be embarrassed as fuck if I was sitting at a table with someone who did that.
 
I do that too! But only in very good restaurants and I'm pretty stealthy about it. Like a foodie ninja.

Here, have a photo! (NSFWed to pacify Sam.)

Aw, fuck. Food photography seriously makes me feel ill. 8)

It''s probably the equivalent of an average sane person looking at a picture of a corpse. Which it often is in the case of meat, but... no.

Just a step up from photographing turds.
 
Neubauten and chips with HP sauce beats Michelin-starred-cuisine and Coldplay, I agree.

The best forms of sophistication are the ones which you can't easily acquire no matter how prestigious your credit card. Which is not to say that fancy dining is necessarily bad or pretentious. If you like it, go for it.
 
Aye, I like variety. Fancy dining can be spectacular some of the time, but I usually prefer things a bit more basic/not fucking expensive.

I've been eating daily ice-cream and cream teas in Cornwall though, so I should possibly start to rein that in a bit. There aren't even any decent ice-cream parlours in Manc, are there? :( :(

That's worthy of the EADD quote thread.

I agree with the sentiment. Sophistication as a simple by-product of having lots of disposable income isn't really sophistication my eyes. A well-loved jeans and shirt combo (on the right person) can ooze style in a way that an Armani suit wearing hipster can only dream of.

Perhaps a slight deviation from the original sentiment, but valid all the same IMO.
 
In the days before gentlemen's periodicals and lad's mags cross-pollinated, this wasn't too much of an issue. Now the city streets are full of men in inappropriately-cut and unflattering suits, which they assumed would look great on them because it said so in the back of GQ.

The guys who are in the know (who actually do look stylish in suits) will have taken the advice of a tailor and not a shop assistant who's on commission and can't wait for you to part with your cash.

Actually, do you think it's time that the minimum age for 'wearing a suit and not looking like a barrow boy' should be raised in line with the rest of men's fashion?

It used to be forty, but would forty-five to fifty now be more appropriate?

I refer in the main to suits worn outside of the working environment. I also exclude mods from this rule (although some do look pretty silly), along with Mormon missionaries.

Don't think so.

There might be some hipster joint in the 'N/4' called something vaguely snappy and ice-cream-related.

Nah, men in suits are great. Although I did read "mods" as referring to Bluelight Moderators, which was an entertaining mental image.

Brrrr, thanks. Will have to see how bad the ice-cream WDs get before I venture over there.

I'm liking the thread title. I think to make things even we should all get a call from Raas. I feel like I'm missing out.

True. I am actually starting to miss the little scamp.

If they're under forty-five? Really?

Maybe if they're an Italian model in a well-lit fashion shoot, yeah. But look at younger guys in suits in real life. They all look as if they're about to extol the virtues of installing double glazing in a well-rehearsed fashion, while all the time calling you 'love'.

Yeah, as long as it's a well-fitting suit and they're not fat. A mate of mine who's 23 turned up to a psytrance night in a suit and looked gorgeous. (Though he spoiled the effect with coketalk telling me repeatedly how much his expensive suit cost.. 8))
