We will be in touch
seems to me that younger people are obsessed with being "cool". I was a bit like that when I was younger like most teenagers. I think I'm getting old, I just don't get it and I don't give a **** that much. but what's "cool" now? is it just iphones and gadjets? I'm curious!
If you have to try to be cool then by definition you are not cool.
It's something some people just have naturally, just buying a gadget will never make you cool, you'll just have the same gadget as someone who is cool.
but what stuff can I buy to make up for my lack of cool.
no amount of money will make you cool, i tried to buy cool.
still a daft old man............ 😆
Dont 'cool' people not buy the gadgets everyone else has - instead being their own person?

Being cool is a pile of s**te anyway.
If you're gonna do this life business you want to be enthusiastic, interested, passionate,
**** COOL!
I've always been effortlessly cool.
As you've mentioned, you're an old git and no longer cool so move on Grandad.
answer the question! what phone? what computer, what car, what shirt, what beer....!
I came across a mens health mag at work and I was amazed how much it proscribed "cool" on the reader. you need this, you must have that! what a load of crap!
Electronics wise, surely the requirement is that its name starts with "i" or possibly "mac"?
Well, you'll need an iphone of course! Full of 'apps' that will make you seem really interesting to everyone around you... 😀
Mac laptop for getting out and working on your 'video installation' project in über-trendy bars and coffee shops in Hoxton, Camden and Soho.
Car? No no no- to be 'cool', you can't possibly drive yourself! you get taxis everywhere! And for those leisurely jaunts to that 'edgy' Stoke Newington pub, a nice fixie. Preferably one made by a bespoke frame builder, with achingly desirable old-school components.
Shirt: 'Weyland-Yutani' T-shirt; if you don't 'get' it, then you simply aren't cool enough. Or a T-shirt depicting the lgo of some obscure Japanese Industrial Techno outfit; only 500 made. Or a T-shirt with a piece of old school sound engineering equipment in white outline on dark blue.
Beer? Has to be something from a little-known US microbrewery, only available online, or if in a pub, then whatever they've got in a bottle, because even though it's the same shite they sell on draught, it's far cooler to drink it from a bottle, regardless of the fact it costs almost the same for half as much...
Oh, and you have to live in London. Nowhere else in the UK is anywhere near sufficient for anyone cool...

Fked really, aren't you? 😉
Cool is like prestige, you can't demand it or buy it. You can only earn it.

Be like the Fonz
aha! talkmada.. easy chain to pull!! it's aload of bollucks though isn't it.
" a T-shirt depicting the lgo of some obscure Japanese Industrial Techno outfit; only 500 made. Or a T-shirt with a piece of old school sound engineering eqbout being cool then uipment in white outline on dark blue. "
lol, they're all over charidee shops up here.
speaking of which, I found a proper good pearl izumi top in charidee shop, i can't squeeze it, u want?
I think a lot of people are confused about the difference between being cool and being a tryhard.
As above, if you have to try to be cool, you're not. (and I hasten to add, I've never been cool)
Hmm, might do! Specs? Pics?
Actually, I've got something for you. Need yer addy though. Get yer arse on Skypes.
I have no idea what is meant to be 'cool'. Most of what I see, looks shit anyway. You can keep it.
proper good quality cycling top, don't fit me. not cool or uncool i dunno.
no one's gonna own up to buying stuff to "be cool" though. I'm sure it goes on all the time.
Well fire me over a pic of it then, and I'll let you know what I've got for you.
I don't have a camera. or a phone camera.
Erm, send me a ink to the top on their website, or something?

Kev d'you even know what you're doing? You don't, do you?
'King useless... 🙄

Being incapable of posting pics on STW is seriously uncool 😉

Sorry but thats the sort of thing that actually makes someone cool, well in my my eyes anyway.
Whenever I'm feeling cool I just pop on a cardigan and perhaps a thicker pair of socks. I can be cool if a want; or not.
not really
What, that you don't know what you're doing, or that you're 'king useless? 😆
I think you'll find, ladies and gentlemen, that that is a......

I love internets, me! 😀
Well, I was sitting outside a coffee shop on Chippenham high street earlier today reading an ebook on my iPhone while drinking a Mocha Grande and eating a cheese and tuna panini, so I must be cooler than a very cool thing.
But not that cool, my seven year old PowerBook stays at home cos' it's too damned heavy to lug around.
Well, I was sitting ... on Chippenham high street ... so I must be cooler than a very cool thing.
Does not compute.
Count Zero; you're surely below zero...
Dunno about a Weyland-Yutani shirt, I've got a MAAS-NEOTEK one, they're petty rare, does that make me cool? 😉
Oh, aracer, I'm refering to Talkemada's post up there ^^^.
a "Weyland-Yutani shirt, I've got a MAAS-NEOTEK one" what is that??
still wanna know whst's cool.
racing and back-flips as that's what everyone asks if you do when you tell them you ride bikes.

Uncoolest post so far...
Cool gets you sex. I chased cool rampantly in my teens. I even remember when I had a permed-bob back in the acid era 😆

UPDATE
Just for the record, Talkemada - it's not cool to be bitter.
Eh? WTF are you on about? 😯
That vid Kevevs has linked to, and the insane scramble for the latest must-have gadget, shows just how messed up people are, in their quest to be cool. I mean, rioting because you want to get into a clothes shop? Queuing up for hours or even days, to have something to show off to your mates?
World's gone mad.
How many people do you know who queued up for days to get an iPad? Oh, none, because they aren't even on sale here. Never mind, don't let the facts get in the way of a good bit of bile.
but what stuff can I buy to make up for my lack of cool.
A niche singlespeeder should do it.
😆 😆 😆

Notice I didn't specify any particular country, and said the [b]World[/b]'s gone mad...
Back of the net... 😉
the World's gone mad...
But according to you, only America's gone mad. So is America the world? Are you confused? Or just too eager for a bit of Apple hating to take the facts into account.
As a matter of interest, even America didn't go THAT mad.

Ah, chill out, ffs. 😆
The American Apparel shop is in London. That's in the UK. [url= http://www.news.com.au/technology/apple-fans-queue-for-ipad-in-new-york/story-e6frfro0-1225849166922 ]Australians flew to the US to buy iPads[/url], so, yes, the 'World' has indeed gone mad!
Mad, I tell you!
BTW; I'm not an 'Apple hater'; I own a Mac Pro and 2 iMacs. As well as a PC.
"Never mind, don't let the facts get in the way of a good bit of bile."

i'd buy one, but i'm a massive Alien fan

I gave up trying to be "cool" and trying to fit in ages ago! I'm only 21 and have already accepted that I'll never be the Fonz 😆
I was going to read this thread, but I'm too cool to......
LOL! That bloke in the second pic BobaFatt posted is in...
...an Apple shop!!! 😆
I wonder if he's buying the new iPad?
