UNCOOL (but only a bit): Duran Duran’s Nick Rhodes talks a load of bollocks

This vid was taken at the British Comedy Awards.  Before anyone could ask the legendary Duran Duran anything, Nick Rhodes started trapping on about technology. Watch Simon Le Bon’s bum wink.

UNCOOL: Dissing BLACK SWAN in a LOUD voice

January 24, 2011

0

Mine and my friends’ Black Swan experience was almost destroyed last night by an incredibly irritating woman at the Soho Curzon. Most will agree that the very last thing anyone wants to hear at the final fade to grey moment of an intense film such as Black Swan, when your heart is just beginning its […]

COOL: Valentine’s Day (keep reading to win a sex toy)

If you’ve got someone to cuddle on Valentine’s Day, you might find this interesting. If not, then I’m sorry, but here are some evil products and activities couples buy for each other in order to hide the cracks in their relationship  … (and cos’ they love each other up too) London soul-stress and general cool person, […]

COOL: The guy at Bethnal Green Station

Does anyone else look forward to hearing the cute guy at Bethnal Green Station insist every morning that all passengers “mind the closing doors”? Can’t just be us. It’s worth a journey east! We here in Loserville would quite like a photograph/s of this total legend just to show our appreciation. Anyone up for the […]

COOL:SoHo Theatre UNCOOL: Ronna and Beverly

Soho Theatre is the perfect cherry on top to an inexpensive night out in the west end. One of its mother figures, The Edinburgh Fringe, passes on some rollicking comedy talent each year and I personally rely on the venue to put on stuff I didn’t manage to see up in Scotland, and stuff I […]

UNCOOL: Trying to be Cheryl

January 4, 2011

I’m no fashionista. And I don’t look to celebs for
 guidance either… I’m more likely to follow the tastefully put together
 outfits on the assistants in American Apparel and stallholders on 
Brick Lane than the folk on TV. That silly attitude paired with my
own fashion sense equals wardrobe dyslexia. I dress for comfort;
soft denims, leggings, […]

Happy New Year. And Cheer up. The holidays may be over but there’s loads to look forward to: Famous and Fearless , The US X Factor, Beckham’s joining Spurs, and there’s only a year left till The Shard’s completion. Oh, and only 18 months to wait until East London is transformed into a tracksuit infested […]

‘I love Christmas don’t you?’ ‘Certainly do mate. It’s SATSUMA-tastic!’ ‘It’s midnight mass-mongous- mate isn’t it, in a bowl of nuts you’ve never eaten-tabulous kind of way!’

HOW COOL IS: Alex Clare

There’s something a bit Caleb KOL about 25 year old Alex Clare to whom the Guardian refers as “a nice Jewish lad from South-West London” How refreshing. His new tune Up All Night is  p-r-i-t-t-y nice and can be heard, nay just heard, but watched, here. I told you it was good. We like Alex’s voice […]

UNCOOL: Man-Boys

I HATE blog posts that start like this but … “Recently I was on the tube” standing directly over a man in his fifties. He  was sitting down. I first noticed him because he practically stabbed a well-dressed woman in the tits with his briefcase to get a seat. After that, I didn’t dare do […]
