The "Dole Life"

As Kanye West famously proclaims “Welcome to the Good Life!”. In this short little discussion, YNG LDN will provide those of you who are unaware of the beauty the Dole has to offer, what you could be doing with a spare 20 minutes on Monday at 2.20pm. “So, I just sign this piece of paper, tell you I’ve been looking for a job and you give me £90 every two weeks?”…….”Yep”. There it is. I’ve been looking for a job ever since I graduated from Greenwich Uni, but with my current job (signing the paper), why would I want to leave? I’ve got job security, my coworkers make me feel good when I’m at the office (drunk people are reaaaallly friendly sometimes!) and I’m able to buy Sushi with my wages (amongst the top 20% in the world). Ok, my car requires the skills of a Sainsbury’s Car Washing Expert, and Diesel Jeans are a months earnings, but until I’m the fully robotic employee I envision for my near future, why not!? Hopefully, I’ll become a millionaire blogging, or simply Youtubing my way to the “Good Life” Kanye really meant, but until then, I’ll continue to get Yo! to Go! for lunch.

It Can't be A New Era Forever....Can It?


Is it still a New Era? Young London wear these hats like they're stuck to our heads, but are we still gona keep buying them for the foreseeable future? My guess….yes. The designs are even more gangsta now than the original A-Town ones that flooded our shores after Usher started throwing around like they weren’t worth £25 a pop. My latest favourite has got to be Tube Map London (creative name I know!). Be warned visiting their website, every time you visit it will ask for the country your in, and searching for hat designs using names but no images, is nothing but useless. Instead visit the London Store. If like me, at some point you thought it might be a good idea to sell some New Era hats, don’t. I called them 3 times in a week, being promised every time that someone would call me back to open an account, and I got air. Maybe, they don’t really want you to have their hats….

The O2 Centre...


I gota say…we’re impressed! Went there a few months back to see the Timberlake/Timbaland concert, and….damn! Everything was top notch, from the headliners they got performing….to the futuristic escalators that carry you towards the cinema. I’m yet to visit the Indigo (any reviewers out there are welcome to hit me up with thoughts), but I have been dying to. They got a few things going on right now that should see us flock there. Christopher Rock has been killing it all over town, and now Headlines the arena. They also got NME awards, and WWE for fake wrestling fanatics, amongst others, not to mention Miss Keys…

Blackheath Tea Hut Has Its Own Movie!!


Some crazy shiznit we know! The infamous, word-of-mouth wateringly popular Tea Hut has its own movie. The film, opening the 3rd of Feb at Greenwich Picture House cinema (our cinema of choice btw), follows the “interesting times” at the Tea Hut over a year, and dives into the lives of some of its customers. Somehow, the film is rated 15! I, for one, am quite interested to find out how.
