mingling jets and statuettes
Yeah, attacking a cafe is so missing the target as to be laughable. Still, any protest is better than none at all.
(and funding on indigogo too...)
People chipping in money to buy something. How terribly bourgeois!

fwiw i don't think it's right to say brick lane colonised by hipsters a decadr ago - brick lane in 2005 (& indeed 2010) a very different place from today.

So many particulars. So many questions.
not even a portion. I like to mix the ricicles up with the coco pops to get true variety and a reasonable bowful rather than the childs serving of a single box

i have got to work unscathed, i am sure you're pleased to hear. i will be less attentive when out getting my dinner to give your wish its best chance.

You're a nasty wanker.
Worse things are said to people on here than that but you just come across as a repugnant old cunt with a stained vest, who kicks dogs and sticks knives in kid's footballs.

you hold him in higher esteem than i.
Oh really? Please enlighten us all as to who else here faces a constant barge attacks and abuse when ever they post? The answer is no one. But why would I expect any sympathy from you when you're one of the perpetrators.

there have been no barge attacks here and i would thank you not to perpetuate that canard.
What is it that people hate you so much, do you think? Is it all other people's problems? None of it your fault, maybe?
At least Diamond is unwittingly funny at times

See, it's this kind of shit that sets people against you. I've had just ONE bust-up with you. Prior to that I used to think you got given a bit of a hard time and sometimes waded-in on your side, but I gave up doing that when I realised that you actually are a complete tosser.
You're a contrarian poster, which is fine. But if you're going to post the way you do, you need either the wit to fight the inevitable battles or the chin to take the knocks. You have neither.
I'm sure lots of people have pointed this out already but Cereal Killer is a couple of miles or so from Dalston, instead being located in Spitalfields/Shoreditch on the edge of the City.
And I'm sure people have also pointed this out as well but why on earth would you try and trash Cereal Killer rather than Foxtons Shoreditch?
But finally, the wider point is why do "hipsters" who eat cereal at a cafe dedicated to serving cereal deserve such widespread opprobrium?
On the same road there are two famous beigel bakeries who do a roaring hipster trade all night long and they are apparently kosher (pun intended)?

i don't see it as EITHER foxtons OR shitty cereal cafe BUT both. as for the bagel shops, they've been there since the time of the flood and aren't yuppie/hipster/gentrifier businesses.
DotCommunist
So many particulars. So many questions.
hmm attacking a bagel place wearing a pigs mask? steady on

cat cafes?

Exasperated, not angry.
cats scratch more than cereal

The beigel bakeries have been there decades and have been serving the local community long before the first hipster set foot in the east end.

hang on, what? how do they get the cats to stay in the cafe?
They drug them.

never noticed it. will have to take the cat there to see what it's like. however, bethnal green road is not and never has been in shoreditch.
You think that the demographic that the beigel shops serve is materially different to the demographic that Cereal Killer serves a few doors down?
It is, however, literally just around the corner from Cereal Killer. Perhaps a two minute walk tops...
Pickman's model
Starry Wisdom
yes. it is much broader: not only because bagels are nicer than cereal. the bagels are cheap - something like £1.20 for chopped herring, for example. all sorts of people buy bagels. the cereal cafe's clientele is - almost without exception - hipsters and other gentrifiers.
