i considered being a bench agent when they started up, i thought it was quite a cool idea and the early clothes were ok, i didn’t bother in the end and some other local guy did it, he was a bit odd and something of a loner so thoughtfully in that early 90’s open minded supportive way we all called him ‘bench cock’ and no one bought anything from him.
I only sold it at cost. Not gonna try to make £2.50 on a shirt when I’m only selling it to mates anyway. Wasn’t exactly head to toe in the stuff but they did do some decent gear. Still got all the catalogues and fabric samples etc. They did it very properly.
I think the only Bench stuff I had was a couple of peaked beanies & a belt with a seat belt, push button, type buckle. I was gutted when the belt eventually broke… but it had a really good innings.
The original song is one of Jacques Brel’s most famous songs. Fun fact: he hated it but his manager forced him to sing it at a gig in Paris, where they recorded it live. Everybody loved it but he hated it even more and never sang it again, and it never was on any of his albums.
Bowie lived for over 20 years close to this lovely skatepark I go to regularly (at home in Switzerland). When I visit London, I always spend time at Stockwell, about 100 meters away from where he grew up (Stansfield Road). Small world.
This is even more random but today I had lunch in a fancy brasserie in Paris and Charlotte Rampling was at the table next to ours. I don’t give a fuck about meeting celebrities or getting autographs or anything but I thought it was cool even if we didn’t interact at all, I always thought she was so classy.
Pointless nonsense over.
Was sort of the idea. Always refer to rad dads, and thought using the RAD logo would link it together nicely
Out and about on a work mission and had to visit a customer site today.
I don’t miss office chat based on the sort of thing I’ve overheard today.
Full of numskulls.
In the hotel restaurant now and sat within earshot of a shit talking moron who thinks he is hilarious.
Lock everyone down again.
Keep them out the way.
Pretty sad seeing people everywhere in masks too.
Update: One way to rush the unmasked out of the restaurant is to play the fucking Frozen soundtrack.
Bored out my tree at work and got pondering who would of been good on blueprint now had they of still been “the real blueprint”: Charlie Munro, Korahn, Chris Jones, Kyron, Lucien and Tom Knox (ABD) seemed to be as far as I had gotten.
Admittedly fads and images change etc so hard to imagine it really by it’s a hypothetical thing so let me off…
Totally lowballed myself on a permanent job I’ve been offered. Tiny company who do cool stuff, but still. Could’ve asked for 20% more, bah…
I’ve done a similar thing, took on more responsibility at my current job without explicitly requesting a payrise. Just lots or airy language about seniority. Now pay is frozen and I’m screwed with more work for no extra benefit. Dammit.
Did someone on here have a hook up for office furniture? I really need to sort myself out with a proper chair.
Yes but I got made redundant. Can still sort you out.
Hopefully going into my own thing with this.
Cool. How would this work? Can you point me in the direction of a site to look at?
Cheers
DM’d, all depends on money.
Note pad! we’re in for a Meldrew analysis and cutting review
We need to be in on it in realtime somehow.
