Rum is good, but do any Brixton watering holes do bumbo ?

What now?

Why not ? would it be acceptable to ask for a large bumbo in the Village for example ?
E2a the marina quarter might be more appropriate come to think of it, I'm sure any bar claiming Brixtons best bumbo would have them queueing round the block for a taste

I mean, what is bumbo?

It's adulterated, well flavoured, rum, usually with spices, sugar, water and other sorts of guff like that. I always thought it was some kind of rumoured drink of the past, a way of disguising poor quality rum at lower prices. Have never thought of bumbo as actually something you would want to drink now, but perhaps I'm too accustomed to the fine rums of Guyana. <stokes customary caribbean rivalry>

a bumbo is also a little chair thing for babies who can't quite sit up by themselves to sit in. you definitely wouldn't want to drink one.

Cheers. I'm currently of the opinion that Guatemalan rum is the finest known to man, but I realise I know little of the sacred mysteries.It's adulterated, well flavoured, rum, usually with spices, sugar, water and other sorts of guff like that.

Compared to Glastonbury it most certainly is. I love that place, but it's still a marvellously concealed giant assortment of farmland underneath, basically all mud/dust in various forms. You almost love the blessed concrete of hometown London.

oh... I meant urban... I spent the weekend on a farm myself - still think it was probably more civilised overall..

ha! That's what we did too
. I think you may be following us in fact as I'm sure we saw you at a swimming pool recently - although I don't actually know you but we seem to very often be in the same places - so if it isn't you it's someone else following us.

I just have to share this extraordinary email from a resident complaining about our street party on Saturday:
As someone who does not in any way support the planned street party and who has little love for cyclists in general I find it deeply distressing that you have a cycle surgery listed as taking place outside my property on Saturday. Can you please re-assure me that this will be moved somewhere else and if possible send out a correction?
It will be difficult enough as it is to put up with the noise and disruption your event will cause without this added nuisance or the assumption that I am somehow involved.
I find it incredible that you seem to be able to do as you please with no semblance of accountability.

Brilliant! Is it this Saturday? I may have to gatecrash in my extra tight cycling shorts. Or maybe a skinsuit.

Have you got any other artwork and event details? I'll add it to the Brixton Buzz listing if you like.
