Yes?

He will blame me for these Brickers missives after the August debacle

This is not a Brickers missive. It's a Brixton thread for general brixton stuff. I'm not sure why a duplicate thread was started. Perhaps there was something new added to the FAQ saying only mods are allowed to start them from now on.

Do we know why the road beside McDonald's is being dug up again?

The disabled should learn to be more furry and wet nosed.

I much prefer this thread to the stickied one at the top of the page.

It could be improved by using the title Badgers suggested though.

That's because you're a rebel

Badgers endorsed this title, I'll have you know. Actually, I think you'll find etc.

If Badgers endorses it Quimmy then I take it all back. Keep up the excellent work.

Apparently Brixton is recorded in the Domesday Book as "Brixiestan" in 1086. http://www.onefinestay.com/london/region/brixton-309/

Perhaps the hipster influx started back then?

The Normans were commensurate gentrifiers. That book of theirs is just a fancy estate agent's catalogue

Please note that the official November thread is here: http://www.urban75.net/forums/threads/brixton-news-rumours-and-general-chat-november-2012.301435/
Thank you.

What a load of fucking shit.

Somethign to do with Gas, isn't it? I think that's what the sign says.

 

[Onket]

Managed to get round two banks, the poundshop and Tescos in 50 mins today at dinnertime. Quite pleased with myself.

For the record, the longest queue was in the Halifax.

Real Ale festival on in Wetherspoons. No reduction in price this time, but some interesting ales on, as always.

Cheers. I haven't been able to see from the bus. It's being a little bit repetitive.

 

[Onket]

I think it says it's a routine check, or something. Not sure.

Talking of things 'you live for' I am after a mischief tech solution but no success so far. You know the beeping alert that tube doors make just as they are about to close. I would like this as an audio file that I can use on phone/tablet. The main reason is so I can make people run unnecessarily for tubes but I would also like it as a ring tone. I will buy you one pint if you have any success.

I would also chip in. So that's 2 pints and counting @Crispy

Great news. The Phoenix had lasagne & chips on as a special yesterday.

I got a picture.

Today I am going to go for something sausage related in view of it being BSW.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I got a picture.

Where?

And shouldn't this be in the official Brixton chitter chatter thread?

I went into Granville Arcade on Saturday.
