Amazing. Surely there's a hollywood film in this? Like Philomena.

kreuzkav

Philomena is a great film.  But it's been done.  Maybe they can have a Hipster twist to it.  Big protest stops the two  meeting. This protest starts from the Faltering Fullback towards vagabond. It's about discrimation against Hipsters.   Loads of extras can be hired to wear check shirts, or day-glo leggings. Some are sporting long moustaches.  In the square outside vagabond the extras start to unicycle, get on fixie bikes and get their portable record players out playing retro-power ballads by Meat Loaf etc.  <div><br></div><div>The two are caught in the middle. There's a scrum of hipsters moshing to Bonnie Tyler's 'Total Eclipse of the heart'.<br><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>

I bloody love Bonnie Tyler. If I ever went on 'Stars In Their Eyes' I'd be Bonnie.

kreuzkav

I was letting my imagination go wild.  Maybe hipsters know what's best.  And they love Bonnie Tyler

Detritus

I've never been interested in finding my birth parents, and if I found a you tube clip of someone who looked like me I would put it down as a bad dream. But a cool story.

Brodiej

@ Kreuzkav. Thats funny :-) Portable record player reference particularly so.

Toddlesocks

That is a wonderful story, great they found each other. All the best with the project.<div><br></div><div>@ kreuzkav  Good idea , have often thought the square outside vagabonds is an underutilized  prime location, , and could be a great asset to SG if used creatively. Keep the imagination in wild mode, at the risk of sounding like Chang SG could become the new Covent Garden!!<br><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>
