The Definitive Hipster

[Bisto]

@Fran

Historically I would have been a late night after work shopper (my hectic work schedule does not allow for lunchtime shopping) but I was off this week, mainly to do some jobs around the house, and Mrs. Fran and I went into town for a spot of shopping. It was a frustrating enough day to begin with, I had €400 in Brown Thomas vouchers to spend but that was quickly reduced to €150 by purchasing a scented candle, a picture frame, a cooking spatula and wedding present for one of Mrs. Fran’s friends. I was starting to despair until I spotted a stylish pair of jeans in BT2. Once I had them matched with a dashing shirt I was happy that I had avoided another unsuccessful days shopping. I only get about 3 days a year these days to treat myself to some retail therapy so I have to make every one count.

so basically your wife spent your voucher for you?..

Pretty sure they had a ticker in the bar, some beers prices went up, others went down over the course of the night, etc. Of all the name changes that was the first time I darkened the door of that building. I’ll not be doing it again.

Apparently one company is behind a load of “original” places that have opened recently.

True story. They have cottoned on to the fact that the cool people have an attention span of about 6 months so they open up a new trendy place every 4-6 months.

It was a goth bar pre feile which would fit your description.

Here’s a new one.

A lad in his 20s wearing a certain type of shoe for the sole (!) purpose of showing off his socks which are distinctly and noticeably odd e.g. blue and yellow.

Saw such a thing earlier in the week.

Aonghus McNally on the 80s RTE kids Saturday morning show Anything Goes used to wear one red and one yellow shoe
