First glance I thought it was Th’Ogdad with Peter Kay.

I thought the other guy had a look of Widnes about him.

Overheard a student type telling some people in a cafe up Oxford Road on Saturday that he and his mate had left Kay's gig at the interval the night before. "Just another straight white male comedian telling jokes about how it used to be better in the old days"

What were you expecting, lads?! 😀

Anyhow, his new book is out Thursday. Peter Kay, not the student.

When you say student, he wasn’t selling theatre tickets and trying hard to conceal a Bolton accent was he?

He had that wank generic questioning intonation thing going on in his voice, I know that.

Was dressed far too scruffily for any of the sartorial leading lights that reside on here though!

Oxford bags and big chunky shoes at the moment with oversized white or stripy T shirts. Topped off with a painters jacket. 

Don't any of you know baggy is back - you'll all be back in 90s Loons and fractal tops in 18 months.

Aren't these just survivors from the first time round?

They'll be some on here waiting for the boot cut jean, pointy brown slip on to make a reappearance.

They were in london last week taking over Oxford Street or something like that.

it’s all Instagram innit.

Belstaff are popular these days but in the 90’s when I wore one of their jackets I was once called a “greb” 

Greb must mean “ahead of your time.”

Im Radiohead.

See I thought greb was used pre grunge to describe Jesus Jones, Neds...those sort of bands. 

Baggy shorts, tight sort of cut off underneath, t-shirt with comic alogan (possible waistcoat optional) and topped off with long hair or the dreaded white dreads.

The plebs who liked Cotton Eyed Joe used to call anyone who had a passing interest in the Indie top ten on the chart show a greb.

When I was clearly a metal head at the time.

The fools! I'd laugh as I drew band logos in biro onto my rucksack from famous army stores.

There was an article on one of them Ladbible type sites yesterday saying a movie and/or Xmas special of Phoenix nights was in the works.

I doubt it, but I think that’s the route for him nkw
