Very poetic...



It's too bad anytime the punk image and whatever other subculture image gets abused by total wankers.

April IS the cruellest month, and often a bit chilly, so . . .

Last year a Punk with a grand mohican and trying to look particularly mean was walking along the S-Bahn carriage where I was sitting with my family. He was with some similarly dressed companions.

My five year old took one look at him, pointed, and burst out in very loud laughter.

The Punk continued to look severe and was undoubtedly annoyed - even more so when all his companions also started laughing along with my son

Well, it was invented by total wankers, so what should we expect?

Sounds like a daft punk.

Oh no!!! We all just missed the New York Dolls European tour, zut zut!!

I think they did scare you.

Nah. He annoyed me. The nasty little **** threw a lit cigarette at me, which bounced off my jeans - the only unholed jeans I own, by the way - and onto my shoe.

I'm not one to look for trouble (had enough of that already, thank you very much), and had to run for my train, so I couldn't have done much even if I'd had a mind to, but I don't see why I should pretend that these ****s are anything better than louts and hooligans.

Scared? No. Bloody annoyed? Yes.

Well, I use to call them "Goldchüschtepunker" (Gold Coast Punk), normally that has some really nice effect...

A gentleman never rushes. See, a gentleman would of had the time to correct the punk.

A true gentleman would have simply agreed with one's chauffeur's suggestion that one reverse the Bentley over one.

Be that as it may, one is off here shortly to "hang out" with one's "mates".

Ahh, louts and hooligans; not Punks, then.

Fair enough.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

. . . then it's a punk?

And I thought those punks hanging around in Stadelhofen were POME`s. At least DB shows obviously some of his xenophobia and prejudices.

Palm oil mill effluent?

It looks like a punk, it looks like a duck . . .

No, silly! Product Of My Environment (i.e. Stadelhofen )

One man's

"The station building from 1894 was preserved and the surroundings were completely redone in a fancy twist of modern art, thus forming a striking combination of the new and the old"

is another mans

"Concrete'n'steel shlte, built twenty years after the rest of us realised how crap that style is."

Was it one of these 2 punks ? I usually see them hang around near Bauschänzli, begging for chips etc.

Doc.

There are a lot from Germany. I've been approached for a couple of francs a few times in a clip and clear high German accent.

One guy was in the Stadelhofen Softridge shop today stocking up on computer games, so they can't be that badly off.
