Louis Theroux in Philidelphia last night - cooool!

i must admit, i just found myself getting annoyed with this prog, from the wanker cops trying to ingratiate themselves to the little big men acting up for the camera.

so i ain't human it appears :(
 
The cornerboys pissed me off especially. All this male bravado and posturing, just depresses you.
 
i liked to think he literally meant cats and his brain had just gone off on some crazy pcp tangent

combined with the fact that he was really shocked and upset by this revelation. being an animal lover, as you could see from the community children's farm he had created, that there was some form of feline genocide rife in 'da hood', must be highly distressing for him.
 
I thought you were a clerical officer in a local government office in SE England.
have you ever been into a local government office full of clerical officers tho!!! :eek:

hanging with the staples, rolling with the copier, dissing the post boys, its a jungle, pure and simple. they don't just kill cats, they eat them too!!!

yea man, but just like Ice T and Mike Tyson, i came up from the hood.

Punk-ass Motherfucker! You think it was easy to come from gang-banging, hustling, slinging rocks and icing motherfuckers to attaining the post of senior human resources advisor in local government? :mad:
 
wot, Upper-Holloway?:confused:

Too right man. Upper Holloway is Bloods, Lower Holloway is Crips. I'm in the middle and have to fight my way through both just to survive and keep control of our corner opposite the deli and the gastro pub. You can be just standing there, hanging wit your homies, slinging rocks when - BAM! some drunken old murphy man will be in your face singing 'danny Boy' and trying to cadge a fag off you. It's a jungle out there, believe me.:eek:
 
i bet Reds is popered by Philly Cheese Steaks

Didn't see any Reds, but the place is stuffed full of fiddly-diddly "We're really Oirish and related to the McMurphys, oh yes, begorrah, top of the morning to you, Blarney stones and leprechauns" bars.

It was like being in a Kilburn theme park.

did you go to Barbara's bar? that was my favourite, a proper smoky jazz dive.


sorry it was called Bob and Barbara's:
"Bob & Barbara's
1509 S. St., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Tel. 215.545.4511
Bob & Barbara's may not be the classiest bar near Rittenhouse Square, but it may have the best drink specials, games and jukebox around. Bingo winners can look forward to receiving porn, while the losers could get stuck with a can of meat. This Philly dive also features drunken spelling bees, ping-pong and rock paper scissors tournaments and weekly drag shows. Bob & Barbara's special is a shot of Jim Beam and a can of Pabst—for only $3. They may as well have invented the dive bar. "
 
i tipped the band to play "someone to watch over me" then started crying because i was sloppy drunk and fell over on the ice outside almost breaking my elbow
 
"Murphy man"? What's that all about then?

pronounced: "Murty men"

Old Irish guys, origin of term being they would work in construction and on the roads as labourers for construction company called 'Murphy'. An old London-Irish term I think (it's irish folk i first heard use it) . Archway is jumping with Murphy Men. They don't give a fuck. :)

funny you say that, there doesn't seem to be that much evidence of that sort of stuff in Kilburn any more, where-as Archway on a weekend night is like a Michael Flatley show. albeit with more fighting and Super-lager.
 
yea, but I reckon that's just the parts that Reds doesn't control.

"I ain't shaking your hand, I don't wanna shake your hand, this ain't a friendly city"

i thought that was a cool line. I'll have to remember that for next time some tourist asks me directions.

Actually, it reminds me of one time I was with a mate of mine and someone we met casually enquired to my mate "so, what do you do?" to which he replied "I mind my own business, you should try it sometime" :eek:

nice! :D

Wah Phili be cool yo!

:rolleyes:

What dopey hoody chav cock did you crawl out of?
 
A friend recommended this and told me to look out for Proposition Joe. Bit surreal seeing the cow in the back lot though, it's bullshit (!) to suggest he did this for the kids. Community activists don't sell drugs and employ corner boys.

Also when did House of Pain join the Philly Police?
