Some subcultures make less sense than others...

The other day I was at a pub in South London with some friends, just having a few drinks. It was a Tuesday night, nothing out of the ordinary so far. Then all of a sudden a huge group of people enter dressed in golf clothes...

This fucking guy...

Not sure why (at that point at least). Then more people, then more people... Outside, me and a friend were having a cigarette when more people walked by dressed like that... Singing. One of them shouted something (it could've been "Auuugggedidurpannaaaaaa!!!!!") then they all scattered and grabbed onto whatever was nearby, a postbox, a lamppost, a doorknob etc.

Seriously odd...

Later on, inside my girlfriend and our friend was off trying to get a drink... by this point there were roughly 50 people standing around in golf clothes, holding clubs etc.

My girlfriend asked one of them just what the fuck was going on and it turns out it was a return to uni party.

However I chose to believe that it was a new kind of subculture. Like rockabilly or goth. With cleats. Imagine, they can have their own nightclubs! Their own music!

I hope to see more of this bizarre yet hilarious 'subculture' soon.

London from ground level

So here I am in London, (the above picture is London from ground level, and coincidentally quite close to where we're staying, so please excuse the lack of lame pictures of Buckingham palace etc) it's a wonderful place. I'm more interested in seeing all pop culture history around the place. For example, yesterday I walked down Carnaby Street (as mentioned in the Kinks' "Dedicated Follower of Fashion" and the fashion centre of the 60's) then checked out Savile Row (location of the Beatles' Apple Corps. offices in the 60's, as well as where they played their final show on the rooftop) ... I've been to the Good Mixer too (famous watering hole for Oasis, Blur, Pulp, Amy Winehouse, Pete Doherty amongst others) and I stood outside the 100 Club too... Is it strange that I'm more interested in the pop culture history of London rather than the 'history' history? Oh well, it's probably because I haven't been to all the "historical" places yet...
