Brit Tribe: WHEN CHAVS ATTACK
So, it was a pleasant Friday evening, me, my cousin Natalie and friend Matt were enjoying a leisurely walk back from the video shop. Birds were singing in the sky and we hadn't a care in the world, we skipped along, the air filled with laughter. Then out of nowere we hear a familiar sound..oh no..was it? Yes indeed a CHAVGAGGLE was gaining on us from behind! As we tried to ignore the noise they began to yell every name under the sun to get us to turn around, admittedly they weren't very inventive and just called the names "Ben" and "Gary" several times. We were heckled and told to get our hair cut, the chavgaggle was clearly annoyed that we hadn't conformed to their sportswear uniform and buzzcut. I wasn't wearing ANY burberry!!?? Matt didnt have hair gel on!!?? and my cousin had PINK HAIR!! PINK HAIR what kind of a crazy world is this???? We managed to escape their clutches but only just..I dread to think what might have happened if we had been captured. We may have been forced to drink white lightning cider, listen to garage music and speak in a faux estury accent. Conformity is the chavs weapon of choice..but these three chavponents won't give up without a fight! Thank god I'm leaving the country soon!!! As this was a long story with no pictures I have decided to issue you a treat: CREATE YOUR OWN CHAV!!!!! Just click below...it will help you to avoid a chav attack... CREATE A CHAV
Brit Tribe: GALLERY OF CHAVS
Roll up, roll up, to gawp in amazement at the selection of chavs on display for your viewing enjoyment. Here we have some of the finest celebrity chavs. Please add to the list (I haven't added Jodie Marsh as I think I have given her enough free exposure already) Britney and Kevin, obviously  David and Victoria Beckham (i'm sorry but its true!)  COLEEN MCGLAUVIYCIYRARA, wife of Wayne rooney (when I can't spell I improvise)  Christina Aguilera (chav extraordinaire)  Goldie Lookin Chain (granted it's ironic)  Blazin Squad (sadly NOT ironic)  I have to go rinse out my eyes now..
Brit Tribe: CHAVS PART DEUX
Excellent definition of Chav by Wikipedia: Chav is a derogatory slang term in popular usage throughout the UK. It refers to a subculture stereotype of a person who is uneducated, uncultured and prone to antisocial or immoral behaviour. The label is typically, though not exclusively, applied to teenagers and young adults of white working class or lower-middle class origin. Chav is used for both sexes; a male chav may sometimes be referred to as a chavster (FYI: I LOVE THIS TERM) and a female as a chavette (EVEN BETTER!). A more complete list of synonyms can be found in the Derived and Similar Terms section below. It is similar to the United States terms white trash and trailer trash or the Australian bogan Response to the term has ranged from acceptance to criticism that the term is a new manifestation of classism. Some fun chav acronyms: Council Housed And Violent Council Housed And Vile Council House Assault & Violence Council House Associated Vermin Council House Adolescent Violence Council House Adidas Victim Chicken Hats Are Virtuous...ok I made that one up. BritBoy's guide to spotting a Chav: Are they wearing sportswear? More specifically adidas tracksuit bottoms? Wait, is there more than one of them? Are they forming a strange herd much like human buffalo? Is Burberry involved? Even better fake Burberry? Oh my god! fake Burberry cap? Are the girls hair pulled back so tight that they appear startled or deformed? Do they at all resemble vicky pollard? Im afraid you are in the presence of a group of chavs, more commonly known as a chavgaggle..ok I made that up too more info via the CHAVTASTIC Chavscum
Brit Tribe: CHAVS
 OH. MY. GOD. Due to popular demand, today will be CHAV DAY on BritBoy in L.A. So slap on some adidas trackies, grease down your hair and dig out the biggest hoop earrings you can find...its going to be an experience...
A new idea...
Since I appear to be brimming with ideas right now (at 5am???) I have come up with another, it may be the lack of sleep talking but I feel like this one might be a winner! Its about money money and more money click HEREps: sorry about all the ads..I went a little adsense crazy :)
Brit Events: Armed Police
 Today in London there was an extremely high presence of armed police on the streets. London Transport police rode on tube trains and checked the bags of commuters. It's so scary to travel on a train when this is going on, but sadly necessary.
Brit Celeb: Lindsay London
 My oh my! an LL double whammy! First off "The Daily Mirror" reports that Lindsay's "strange behaviour" at London nightclub Boujis shocked onlookers last night: "She certainly wasn't up for a party and, once nestled in the corner of the VIP section, she refused to leave her seat and sulked into her vodka and lemonade. Her behaviour became increasingly bizarre when she made her guests queue up to speak to her as she was sending out text messages on her mobile phone. She didn't look as though she wanted to be there and didn't dance once." Lindsay was then seen leaving the club early in the morning looking quite the worse for wear (pictures hopefully coming soon!) The reason for Lohan's behaviour came to light earlier today when I recieved a tip from a source at a well known British magazine "Lindsay's agent just called to tell me that the interview was cancelled and she was flying back to the US!" It has since emerged that Lindsay has flown back to New York to be with her mother as she begins her divorce proceedings, and will be missing her own premiere. Just goes to show that however much money and fame you have you can't escape family drama!
Brit Stereotypes: US TV
Have you ever noticed the way in which British people are portrayed on US TV? both me and my american friends have noticed a startling trend..lets just look at a quick overview of UK tv "personalities" who have made it in the US: Anne Robinson: Evil  Simon Cowell: Evil  Trinny and Susanna: Bossy and Evil  Kim and Aggie: Bossy, Evil and Annoying  Stewie from family guy: Bossy, Evil, Dictatorial and set on murdering his own mother  My guess is that the next "personality" to travel to the US will be Gordon Ramsay, I'm sure he'll so wonders for the stereotype  Just more proof that Americans NEED me to have my own reality TV show..its not for me...its for the good of all mankind
BritBoy Designer Store
Due to considerable interest from some of my friends in the US, I have decided that i MAY set up a store (or link to a store) on this site. I would sell custom clothing and accessories as well as other random items. Please bear with me while i try to set it up, it may take a while! The store will probably be located HEREI have decided to consider this as an option as several individuals and companies (including Fred Segal!!!) have expressed interest in my designs. This remains the simplest and most viable option for me to distribute custom designs right now. Please bear in mind that this is only an idea and will only go ahead if i feel that there is enough interest. Thanks,
Brit Love: Triangle
  My oh my, Notting Hill is quite the incestuous little enclave! Jude and Sadie split, Jude gets with Sienna, Jude and Sienna get engaged, then Jude cheats on Sienna with the nanny..THE NANNY..classy, Jude and Sienna split and then Sienna is seen kissing her ex Orlando Bloom..Phew. I wonder how they ever have time to make films? But wait, what about Sienna-alike Kate Bosworth?  Oh wait, I don't care...
Brit C-List: Jodie Marsh
 Who is Jodie Marsh? That is quite the loaded question! From what I can fathom she is an Essex girl famous for having enormous breasts, hating Jordan and having a terrible nose job. However that Isn't to say that we in the Uk hate Jodie, she has become quite the British institution. Jodie is possibly our equivalent of Paris Hilton without the money, looks or style... and for that we love to hate her. I will be doing features on both Essex and Chavs in the near future, for Americans who have no idea what these are you are in for a treat! Think white trash plus white leather and you are half way there! Let me take you through a few of my favourite Jodie poses: Jodie and her puppies (no pun intended)  Jodie classes it up in a top hat  Jodie births a football  And my outright favourite..Jodie is harnessed into an army uniform by a small child..thats Essex for you... 
Brit Style: Juicy Couture
 Juicy Couture have started using this slogan! This way we can all be English..and not in the whole Madonna shoot some pheasants, wear tweed and speak like a moron way...Hooray for more info visit Juicycouture.com
Brit Style: Charm Necklaces
Charm necklaces are currently the accesory of choice amongst British celebrities. Fashion retailers however have been relatively slow to catch on to the trend. Actor Olando Bloom is rarely seen without at least one charm necklace and often wears two or three.    David and Victoria Beckham show off his and hers charm necklaces on holiday in St. Tropez  I love the fact that no two necklaces are the same and can be composed of just about anything, a shell from the beach, an old ring that no longer fits or holiday souvenirs. I have started on my own charm necklace and am considering custom making them for others. If anyone is interested I may open a store on the website. Let me know... 
Brit News: Terror Attacks
    In the wake of the horrific terrorist attacks on London's transport system on 7/7 and the attempted attacks on 21/7, a website called wearenotafriad.com was set up. Readers submit original artwork demonstrating that the terrorists have failed in their quest to scare the British people. The website is a testament to the bravery and resilience of Britain. I hope that we will stand strong in the face of possible further attacks. I also hope, as a mixed race British citizen myself, that we can maintain the multicultural tolerance that makes Britain so unique. My thoughts and prayers are with those affected in any way by the attacks Click to visit: 
Brit Twosome: Keira and Orlando
 Smoulder much? Imagine what lean and pouty children they would have... Bet they would be good in period dramas too..
Brit Style: Patriotic Apparel
  I just had this T-shirt made for my imminent arrival in the states. I'm prettty much in love with it. It's my second piece of Brit themed apparel, the first being the amazing union jack jacket designed by Keenan Duffy, as seen in my profile pic. The lining to the jacket is really intricate and even has Queen Elizabeth in the middle! I bought the jacket at H Men on Sunset Blvd Los Angeles. T-Shirts were customised at Talking T's In Cambridge, UK. 
Brit Beauty: Keira Knightly
   Keira Knightly has the kind of face and body that makes me want to swab her cheek cells and use her DNA to create a Keira army. Incidentally this is what she would look like if she indulged in a few too many fish and chips, she looks like she should be called Tracey going for a night out in Basildon. I'm not saying that all girls calleb Tracey from Basildon look like this. They look worse.  Image courtesy of www.worth1000.com
Brit Obsession: Tea
 If you thought that the whole Brits being obsessed with tea thing was a myth then look at this picture. I have no less than 10 types of tea in current rotation. What does my best friend do when confronted with a crisis? smoke? drink? mainline heroin? nope...make tea. All British people are old women inside. For more tea info visit: www.tea.co.ukwww.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com(ps: I just noticed the mug that says "fuck that" in the background, a classy touch)
Who am i?
 Hello there, I'm a young British guy currently splitting my time between London and Los Angeles. Welcome to a world of British culture (yes, we do have some!), style (that too!), current events and celebrities (especially C list ones). Also join me as I spend my first full year in La La Land, substituting my builder's tea for sugarfree soy ice blendeds, being asked to repeat myself constantly and attempting to navigate in a city without roundabouts! I hope you enjoy the journey!
