we've had a few threads in here lately about who and what is "cool", but what about those of us who don't manage to be cool, for one reason or another? Anyone want to join me?
Most of my pairs of jeans are four quid ones from Asda or Tesco.
The last time I was drunk was in...oooooh, 1983. (That'll have some here weeping into their Cabernet Sauvignon.)
I wear glasses, but never wear sunglasses.
I don't have a car, and don't drive, I use buses and trains.
It gets worse: when I text on my mobile I write complete words, and usually use normal punctuation (as one nice person here in SH knows already :thumbup: )
The one area where I might fail to be uncool is music - I don't have any music by Des O'Connor, or The Nolans, or Cliff Richard, or Barry Manilow, nor do I have any country and western (well, I have some by Mary Chapin Carpenter, but I think she counts as cool.)
Anyone else going to confess to being uncool, and say in what way?
Mike.

I still wear my belt with the 'S' snake buckle - the one I had when I was 11... and didnt realise they had recently come back into fashion
I've always liked ABBA...

I do swing with married men wink
Most of my musical taste is not to anyone else's rolleyes
I still have a video player when most of my friends have dvd's these days :roll:
I like my sons to phone me sometimes and not just text :roll:

As someone so painfully cool I can tell you that these thing actually are cool:
The last time I was drunk was in...oooooh, 1983. Apparently it's cool now to be totally pure chemically or whatever
I wear glasses, but never wear sunglasses. sunglasses are not cool anymore, it's all cool to wear really dodgy glasses
I don't have a car, and don't drive, I use buses and trains. saving the environment and all that
It gets worse: when I text on my mobile I write complete words, and usually use normal punctuation. it's cool to write properly now, inventing your own language however is post-cool
The one area where I might fail to be uncool is music - I don't have any music by Des O'Connor, or The Nolans, or Cliff Richard, or Barry Manilow, nor do I have any country and western (well, I have some by Mary Chapin Carpenter, but I think she counts as cool.) you might still be uncool, it depends what you do listen to really :P

Dunlop Greenflash, the chosen "tennis shoe" of nerds circa 1976, I believe they also did a Blue and BlackFlash?
You had to be seriously uncool to wear Flash !! lol
But now it's seriously cool to wear them.

Now, who has Precious McKenzie as their all time sporting hero? :wink:
Scandal - I think it's a Liverpudlian thing mate :lol: (Liverpudlian here too) An 'Admiral 'bag? Don't they do insurance... next you'll be telling us you've got an Oggie belt and Keoh's? :lol:
Can someone define cool for me please? ;)
If it means following the fashions and trends of other people then that is not my idea of cool. My idea of cool is bucking the trends and being true to yourself. I refuse to join the cool gang cos being in a gang makes me less individual and therefore uncool........
Does that make sense? confused redface
In short I think you are cool by being uncool Mike! :? biggrin
Payment in floderboller please! Mange Tak! ;)
Out on a limb here but does my extensive collection of Easy Listening classics such as in the lounge with Andy Williams make me cool confused:
And please tell me my tanktops are acceptable in polite circles again
Some of them do but they are a bit wonkey because my mams not a very good knitter :cry:
I bought a pair of shoes from Tesco and I lived in them all summer. They were comfortable and only cost me a tenner biggrin
Tank tops are back!
:shock: Omg! One of the Warwicks is cool! :scared:

I am the fashion antichrist.
I avoid designer labels in the main part.
Wear boots all the time (German Army boots, warm and not trendy)
White socks
Donkey jacket (with black shoulder patch, not dayglow)
Status Quo belt buckle
Flat cap
White grandad shirts
Waistcoat (chalk stripe or black, not trendy paisley stuff)

Good greif Rachel! For £330 you could buy the whole store at the places I shop in! lol
I don't think I've ever paid more than 30 quid for a pair of trainers!
Gem. x -fan of charity shops, primark and midseason sales! biggrin
Another charity shop fan here too! :smug:
Venusxxx
Can I just join you all on planet uncool, where is it btw, does it take long to get there?
I've had a bad and busy day, I'll think of a reason soon or someone else will for me.
£330 on trainers, if I spent that sort of money, around where I live they would be covered in mud in minutes,
