Thread of the year
What’s wrong with this? Looks like a group of mates having fun doing their thing. It’s so far from what most people here would buy but they seem to be doing everything right; they’ve got a website with lots of information, they make videos, they have a team and they offer products that actually exist. They’ve made boards with actual graphics - rather than just their name in big letters - they haven’t spammed here and they don’t seem to be spamming Instagram.
Horrible name but maybe it makes sense wherever they live. They seem to be a lot more about being a crew than trying to become millionaires by selling t-shirts with their logo on too.

The mild mannered Bungle is one of my earliest TV memories 
Weird that this should come up today. Last night I was googling pictures of rainbow as my wife had never heard of it and had just come home with some weird long skinny hot water bottle that had a pink fluffy cover that made it look like Georges cock.

I used to wonder why he wears pyjamas in bed but nothing when he’s up and about.

I rewatched an episode of Pipkins on YouTube the other day. Unbelievably fucking weird.

From memory Hartley Hare was a nightmareish moth eaten thing that probably scared the shit out of a lot of the kids watching…and what was that weird ‘time, time, time’ bit about?

What about Murun Buchstansangur?

I was 12 when that came out. It didn’t cause the deep psychic damage that Pipkins did. It did feature a head on legs so it might have had some subconscious effect on me.

I’ve just been watching Pipkins fucking hell. Looks as if it was purposely designed to cause psychological trauma.

It started with two other mates, it was split three ways and everyone had an input, however I didn’t like some bits of the brand initially, as mentioned I only had 1/3 of the say as it was between two others when it first began. It was a bit rushed in the beginning if I’m honest but as I say I only had 1/3 of a say.
Long story short, they’re not involved with it now at all on a creative level, I stepped up to be more of the creative director before lockdown hit, so I changed the music up for the second video a bit and had more input with the video direction… But trying to still please the others involved.
Parallel - Heart of England:
During lock down I fully took it over, the last set of pastel decks with the three roses on were my idea/design and pressed by Quarter dist over in Germany.
I’ve pretty much fully re-branded the company now and looking to drop the new video and collection this spring all being well.
Trying to do things right, sponsoring up and coming talent, boards stocked in brick & mortar SOS shops (We have 30 stores stocking the brand now around the UK) adverts in printed mags, supporting local comps and jams where we can, putting out proper team videos (Sadly now online but that is the way of the world these days) alongside a regular social media presence and being involved with rad projects like Story skate camp getting the kids stoked.
Hopefully with the re-brand the company will be more welcomed

Let me buy you a pint and chat to you for an hour I try my best ha ha.
Just do MMA for a laugh, guess like Baines doing cycling for a laugh or James filming etc just a side hobby.
Lets book that pint in

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge MMA fan myself, which is why I know how badly wrong it can go. You could be all Affliction shirts, off-brand energy drinks and “let me bang bro”.
Forum pints in general is a must at some point.
