quite frankly I am a-ok with a class system as long as I'm in the top class

^^^lad

when will fax technology handle punches, is what I would like to know

someone shd hazx0r that side, do find&replace "lad" -> "shithead"

just a simple 'lady' hack would be nice, imo. But 'shithead' works for me

basically sites like this reaffirm my belief that there's an indefinable something in favor of the class system

since most of TL's contributors seem to be amoral congenital retards, i'm not sure how those people wouldn't form a sort of lumpen class in any society which employs a division of labour, however egalitarian

this sort of shit does owe something to the sort of lusty compensations the english class system afforded the lower orders, who could at least feel somewhat 'free' compared to the rigid pieties of the middle class and higher, tho it's a bit of a fiction because in the right circumstances the upper class / umc can partake in much the same sort of bawdy chicanery

lad examples cited here lead me to believe that an Australian 'bloke' site can't be far off, or surely already exists.

Currently pulling an all-nighter in the cambridge university chemical engineering faculty. beer in hand, tits on google image search. LAD

thought the whole phenomena of "laddism" was middle class guys apeing the perceived behaviour of working class ppl anyway. i always imagine the typical lad to be a white collar office worker who likes to go on "the rampage" at the weekend.

ha this is my personal failing, because I can't imagine any class system that contains me and these people where I wouldn't be able to outmaneuver/outperform these bozos with my eyes closed

basically my fallacy is that I tend to boil every social system down to a meritocracy, which never actually happens

hmmmn well if it was feudalism and you were a serf and this

after a messy night out in tunbridge wells, i managed to find myself on the bonnet of my best mate's car leisurely strolling at 15 mph. i shouted 'no hand's at which point my mate decided to break, resulting in me get thrown of the car and what seemed like minor injuries at first, resulted in a broken ankle, a perferated eardrum and a fractured skull and a loss of taste and smell. LAD.

was your lord, you'd still be kind of fucked, unless you could hatch a cunning plan

both nakh and max are kinda otm - this isn't about an established lower/middle class system, and it certainly isn't about an underclass gone mad (dan, your posts itt have been quite elitist!) - it's about the emergence of a new clan: the entitled manchild (watches Dave TV, thinks Jeremy Clarkson is a legernd etc) - and this abnegation of responsibility and embrace of the moronic is ~everywhere~

I mean sure it's nice to switch off and engage with the primal now and then but when engaging with the primal becomes riding roughshod over the idea that other people might have feelings then you're in need of something damascene to the balls

lj u need to get into marketing

srsly

tbh, i think there have always been bros like this. they just didn't have magazines and websites dedicated to them.

right

you've mentioned the one thing in life I've actively sworn to never do, and things in life include eating cazu marzu

and yes they've always existed sure. thing is, now they have ready-made systems of comradeship and labelling available - there's a mediated lad culture which is taken seriously way more than it should be - it's notable for the fact that people aren't taught to make peace with their insecurities and so live them out, horrendously

yeah, i enjoy fit girls and beer and low-brow humour now and again, but the idea of it being a "lifestyle" is pretty depressing.

lj you are the only person itt taking the 'mediated lad culture' particularly seriously! comradeship and labelling among these people surely preceded their discovery by marketeers

i'm not sure how much this site owes to 'dave' et al, though it does have a sort of ex poly, hard-fi, lower middle class office worker on the tiles feel to it

idk I just get the feeling that this stuff is more prevalent than it was a few years ago, maybe I'm horribly wrong

this isn't to damn the people, just to damn the mindstate they enter when aggregated in laddish bundles - I have been known to act quite laddish (in my student days) - 'how one behaves around other men' seems to be having a bit of an identity crisis atm

the answer, of course, is to hang out with women more imo (as friends obv)

funny how a lot of these posts are written by guys whos life experiences inspired jokes i heard 15 years ago at school.

srsly damn these fucking ppl they are cunts

well only about 5% of them actually happened

but one must aspire, acceptance is a good look

idk I just get the feeling that this stuff is more prevalent than it was a few years ago, maybe I'm horribly wrong

there seems to be a greater coherence on signifiers between upper and lower middle class LAD popuations, cf 'dave', 'boris u legernd', kings of leon etc

some of the site is actual provincial lumpen culture that has really nothing to do with that shit

(dan, your posts itt have been quite elitist!)

no wai, I had no idea

cool idea for a username, btw lj

it's been done a few times before tbh

oic

lad examples cited here lead me to believe that an Australian 'bloke' site can't be far off, or surely already exists.

Ha, indeed. If the young lad I met the other week at a gig of S-'s was any indication I'd not doubt it one bit. He spent the whole evening trying to impress me with tales of, among other things, smashing shopping trolleys into parked cars as a form of "pinball", and simeltaneously vomiting/smoking on a tram.

Then informed me my dress would look better on his bedroom floor. Oh, you charming man.

And you let a catch like that get away? u_u

I know rite, I mean he was like 23 and everything o_0

The funniest bit tho was when him and his (normal, the poor bastard) mate told me and N there was no way we knew the whole "whalers on the moon" song.

We proceeded to sing the whole thing, in harmony. They just went D:

YESSS!!!! :)

Hahah :D NO ONE challenges ver Nick'n'Trayce when it comes to Futurama dammit.

Couple of months back my mate got fucked over by his missus (solid 8/10 cunt). She rinsed him and set fire to his clothes after he got smashed and told her she's got nothing on her sister (LAD). After that she went out and fucked some mug he absolute hates. 4 weeks down the line I'm out on the smash fucked off my face in the Union when she comes up to me. Clearly wants my helmet, trying to fuck over my mate some more. Went back to hers (house of 6 girls) and smashed the granny out of her. She takes my phone and films it, dirty bitch. Later on I wake up at 5am and sneak out of her room. Go down to the kichen, grab a frying pan and take a massive beer-shit in the pan. Stuck it on the hob, turned it on and left. Before leaving, wrote 'Don't fuck with my mate' on the fridge in magnets. Girls didn't wake up for hours, not getting that smell out in a hurry. Revenge is stinky. LAD

Do people actually talk like this? It has a ton of really awesome phrases:
- my mate got fucked over by his missus (solid 8/10 cunt)
- She rinsed him
- she went out and fucked some mug he absolute hates. ("mug" and "absolute" which might be a typo, but it's great the way it is)
- I'm out on the smash fucked off my face (this one is a two-fer)
- Clearly wants my helmet
- Went back to hers...and smashed the granny out of her. (both phrases, but wow "SMASHED THE GRANNY OUT OF HER??!" that is amazing)

"Revenge is stinky." is a wonderful bonus.

Sounds not unlike drunk bogan-speak from my hometown.

sounds like chris from the u.k. o.g. the office

chris "finchy" finch

"smashed the granny" is a Chris Morris-ism fwiw

also this has been covered but yeah, to the extent that the ppl posting on TL and having (or 'having') these experiences might share a class background, I wouldn't expect it to be a working class one at all

A meaner bastard than me wd've edited some classic LJ posts into LAD style by now.

Me and a bunch of uni mates had to get our photos taken (Dresseduplikefuckingpenguins LADS) so by the time it was over we were well up for going on the smash. Before long we were pissed as cunts and one the LADS thought it'd be funny to chuck a plant pot through a window of some shit restaurant or other. The coppers came and we ran like fuck, some of us got away through hedges but most of us got collared (Outofshapecoswe'realwaysonthebeers LADS)and thrown in the cells overnight. Needless to say we paid for the damages in cash and went straight out on the lash again! LAD

One night in the night club I got so drunk I wet myself and remained stood at the bar so know one could see the patch. I confided in a mate who proceeded to tell a couple of 7/10's at which point I just poured a pint over my head and they proceeded to say that I hadn't as they saw me pour a lager over my head.

Do things like this really happen? Why so smug about it? (shelteredmiddleclassupbringingLAD) Obviously the endless stream of "I was pissed and I met a solid 9/10 bird and she gave me a blowjob in her boyfriend's car" just sounds like Jay from the Inbetweeners telling made-up stories; it's the interbro pranking that is semi-believable.
