So I’m in the toilets at the market I work at washing my ass minding my own business, and I notice this girl at the taps looking me up and down scowling. Note I’m wearing my effy stonem inspired fishnet gloves and have my IAMSKINS tee on. So I’m like

“Is there a problem?”

And she just says

“Are you a fucking Skins stan?”

And I’m like

“Geez, what gave it away?” Because I have zero chill when it comes to boring teens and she starts going off her nut at me, screaming, literally screaming all the usual

Skins fans are drug addicts, edgy, depressed teens who are sex addicted, etc. Now she’s so loud her mum comes running in from outside to see what’s going on.

I just turned around and said

“I don’t know who you think you are but how dare you talk to me or anyone like that.”

Her mum just hit the roof at her, telling her off in front of about ten other market workers for her yelling, swearing, having the nerve to yell at an adult she doesn’t know like that…

And then her Mum finished with the classic line…

“i'm fucking Cook!”

So she not only embarrassed herself, she got in major trouble and found out her Mum is a Skins stan…

It was a great start to the day.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Skins UK. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Cook’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Skins UK truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Cook’s existential catchphrase “I’m fucking Cook!!!” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Bryan Elsley and Jamie Brittain’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Skins UK tattoo, not unlike Cook’s tattoo revealed in the season three pilot. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
