This is basically what should happen. Once you're over the age of 30, you *shouldn't* 'get' or appreciate everything about pop culture or whatever. That would mean nothing was changing, nothing innovative or different was being tried. He's doing something different, and we don't 'get' it. It's fine, let the kids have their own stuff I say.

In that case, Harry has two more years to be able to dress like a complete rocket polisher, then he's over the hill. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had a look at recent pictures of Harry Styles and his so called outrageous outfits There is absoltely nothing new. In just a few pictures I saw Elvis, Bowie, Brian Ferry, Bowie, Alvin Stardust and Bowie again and possibly even Elton John. Oh and Kevin Rowlands too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and Kevin Rowlands too I repeat: looking like a clearing in the woods is part of the pop star job description. See all of the above, plus Kiss, Alice Cooper, Slade, Freddie Mercury, Johnny Rotten, Phil Oakey, Robert Smith, Marilyn Manson, etc., etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and Kevin Rowlands too Just Googled him out of morbid interest for this conversation and I got a pretty big Brian Ferry vibe from a lot of his outfits. He's clearly just stealing bits from everything (well, his stylist is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just walked out of my shift after an hour and a half. On Friday night there was a dead rat stinking out the bakery in my section, most likely stuck behind the wall as we couldn't find it anywhere in the traps. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and finished my shift, asked the manager to get it sorted before I started tonight but no, still stinks. **** them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Jetting off on a half term break. Taxi was half an hour late and needed some shouting to get it at all. Checkin was ok, security queue was mega but moving fairly well, took about 45 mins. Got to the departure gate, flight delayed due to “technical” issue. Next update in an hour. The plane is here, I wonder if they have staff? I hope we’re not the latest people to have the Tui flight cancelled despite being sat at the gate waiting… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted May 30, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 30, 2022 Off Topic is a bit dead atm. That usually means that something big is happening over in On Topic. But no. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I’ll keep moaning about my airport experience to keep the sponsors happy. Waiting for the next update (1 hour late). I’m starting to like the idea of 4+ hours which triggers £520 compensation each as long as it’s not much passed 4 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything seems like a **** nightmare at the moment travel-wise - fingers crossed you're not delayed for too long. How long has it been so far? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
