Man Talk 19th May 2014

 

 

Here's this weeks urban ramblings......

 

Dressing to get themselves noticed usually refers to someone wearing some outrageous fashion statement   or maybe they've overdone it on the make up tattoos and piercings. So it was so refreshing to spot someone who had definitely made the effort walking through town the other day, The guy was wearing a shirt, tie, smart suit and topped it off with a trilby! Talk about looking the business,  The man was seriously dressing to impress! It was a look right off the Frank Sinatra cool for cats playlist and there he was walking through Liverpool City centre without a care in the world, Take a bow that man I thought. The style mags would describe the guy as a dressing like a  'YUM' or a 'young urban male' the main characteristics being a rockin' beard great dress sense and a swagger. I said to Barbara I wish I could carry off that kind if look. She looked me up and down then said, my dress style was not so much a 'YUM' more like a BUM case closed.

 

In case you want to know the man with the most influential haircut in Britian is not Harry Styles or David Beckham, Its Ricki Hall. Ricki who? You may say, well he's the male model of the moment rugged tattoos and a beard but with a sensible swept back gentlemens hairstyle, that a lot people seem to like.

May help win the Eurovision Song Contest but Don't think The beardy look for girls will intentionally catch on in Liverpool. 

 

If you remember the legend who was Frank Sidebottom you'd know he came from Timperly just outside Manchester, He did not come from the American mid-west.So why anyone would make a film called 'frank' and then try and re invent the man with a huge paper mache head as anything other than a 'Manc' is beyond me. Sacrilidge does not go nearly far enough in describing this crime.

 

Thank god Metalica are headlining Glastonbury, Couldn't think of anything worse than standing in a muddy field head banging. And for once I won't be whining on for the weekend saying 'we should go, we should go....'

 

How long does it take for a mans world to fall apart watching Bear Grylls new series The Island the answer is about half an hour. All Sun Sand Sea and chaos. Half of them look like they want to start crying and shouting for their mum. One question Why do it?

 

What is it they say winning isn't everything. So imagine playing for the football team that lost 31- 0 or the Wirral cricket team all out for 3. No tears they picked themselves up dusted themselves down and started all over again. Some people need to take note, what is they say its only a game....
