Oh I get it, you were referring to the Sex Pistols guy. Nevermind.
Back to researching holiday cassoulet recipes...
^ CASSOULET TIPS FOR OLIVER
The better halfs' mum is French and here's some of her tips (including the weed)....
Line the cooking vessel with scrubbed and washed pig skin, skin against the pot wall and fat pointing inwards.
Use dried beans, do a pre-soak and brineing then a rapid boil in unsalted water then they'll take on more of the fat and flavour when cooked in the cassoulet.
Top thickly with the fresh breadcrumbs, don't use brioche as some suggest ( the fat content will mean they burn before it's cooked properly)
It'll cook for hours and you can't leave it once in the oven so
get a big bag of weed and a good bottle of red and watch that baby bubble away.
pre-soak beans is very tradivy

If not, it's a long lost ivy/casual/skinhead/tatoo loving/online clothes trading brother of his....
Who happens to live in SF also .
^ he claims to run a successful salon, but can't even run an Etsy store.
I'd put big money on his wife running the salon and then subsidising his fantasy 'hard man' world.
He's also a survivor of the Casual Wars between Oakland Wanderers ( North End) vs West Ham in Trans-Atlantic Challenge Cup.
But he ran home crying when the ICF started chanting....
"my dog sleeps on Pringle,
my dog sleeps on Pringle,
na na na na,
na na na na"
A screaming fantasist with an arsonists soul, a really sad sad fucker.

^ hahahaha
AngryYoungPoor - he wishes he was angry, young and poor.
Seriously, what unresolved issues does this guy have? Wanted to be part of the hard men when he was younger, now re-enacting that fantasy via his internet personality? Selling pre-owned wool sweaters????
And he buys cashmere from a charity shop. How often do you have to frequent a charity shop until, finally, a cashmere sweater in your size and a design you like turns up?
Just imagining said tattooed hard man, hanging around in a high street charity shop, waiting for new deliveries, with squinty eyes, closely inspecting the goods.
Man, get a life.

I see your point haha!
I'm kind of looking at them from a Casuals point of view I suppose.. one of the main reasons that I embraced that particular subculture after many years in the "Hard Mod" / (I know, I know..😅) Suedehead camp was that it had, IMHO, a much broader set of influences but still had the oneupsmanship angle that I loved so much. For instance, I am a HUGE Smiths fan, and although it's has certainly become fashionable for Skins to embrace them over the past decade or so, when I was coming up if you admitted to liking the Smiths you had to back it up usually with your fists haha!
Casuals loved everything from soul and funk to indie, britpop, acid jazz, house even bands like Echo & the Bunnyman and Bauhaus. It was a breath of fresh air for me and absolutely broadened my mind in regards to trying to incorporate different things into my wardrobe. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it was awful, I'd like to think now that I'm older my filter is dialed in much tighter but I'll probably look back at my outfits 20 years from now and have a different opinion "
- summary: I watched Awaydays on DVD.
What is a "hard mod"?
One had to back up liking the Smiths with one's fists? I know we music lovers have strong likes and dislikes and opinions and all, but I've never felt the threat of fisticuffs or the need for them. Weird.
^ hahahaha,
not just Awaydays but the remake of The Firm,
a bunch of Danny Dyer movies
and read scans of the Robert Elms article 'the cult with no name'.
He's made the same mistake of trying to link music with the style,
interesingly it's the same issue that plagues Kevin Sampson's writing (which is where ysr has got the Echo and The Bunnymen and Bauhaus reference from ).
He's good value for money tho', getting so much wrong in such a small bit of writing.
How nice
