Too Cool For School
In it's annual attempt to boost flagging sales, the NME has released it's 2006 Cool List. Whilst I very much doubt that The Fonz was anywhere near the judging panel, it certainly highlights how out of touch I am as most of the list barely trespassed onto the edge of my radar in the last year.
- Beth Ditto (The Gossip)
- Faris Rotter (The Horrors)
- Lily Allen
- Jarvis Cocker
- Karen O (Yeah Yeah Yeahs)
You're right I've never heard of most of them either. In honour of this and to fight any oncoming trepidation of being labelled uncool I have created my very own list. I like to think it's as vacuous as the NME's.
Jamie's 2006 Cool List
- Mike Johnson – the first ever football manager that didn’t pick me as sub.
- Shane Warne – Australian, blonde and destroyer of Englishmen but cool as fuck.
- My Dad – he is 60, retired and has a sit on lawn mower.
- Mr and Mrs Flickr – they made slide shows fun again.

Warn may be many things, but cool he is not.
And my dad is cooler than yours.
No lawnmower though
Reiss coats are legendary. I think I've got 2 currently and 3 historically.
I was once on Saville Row in Kilgours with my slightly dickish mate who wanted to bling out on a tailored £2000 suit and I was feeling like a peasant when the suitman looked at me and said 'Is that a Reiss jacket?'
Made my hour.
