Brixton chitter chatter and news and updates (Feb-Aug 2011)

[teuchter]

Maybe you should just take your irrelevant and pointless bleating elsewhere because I doubt if anyone gives a fuck, really.

I thought that at least the person who raised, on the Brixton News and Updates Thread, the issue of the satirical or otherwise use of such words in relation to Brixton might have considered it a noteworthy topic and be willing to discuss it. Perhaps there was some other motivation behind the posting.

I think you should go to bed.

You see loads of Black Cabs in Brixton (Hill) after about 11pm. I can always wander out at that time and get one pretty quick, saves me the hassle of booking a cab.

Anyone hear anything more about the Streatham Hill accident between Barcombe and Amesbury avenues? Looked pretty serious.
I don't want to speculate but black cabs often try to undertake others in the bus lane and it's in between those two roads that the A23 morphs unsigned into a two lane again. Whatever he was doing he totally obliterated a phone box.

Just saw this on Twitter:

Anyone know of a venue in #Streatham to host a Ladies Who Latte Networking Meeting?

Police were called at about 2335 GMT to reports of a man stabbed on Tilson Gardens, at the junction with Forster Road, in Brixton

Never heard of either of those roads. Not exactly on the Hill are they?

Part of the Clapham Park Estate, but I reckon most longer established locals would say they live in Brixton.

 

[Kanda]

Is it? It's just off New Park Road, I thought Clapham Park was further down towards Kings Avenue?

They had it all cordoned off and were digging around in bins looking for evidence.

That makes it official: Streatham is in motion too.

 

[ajdown]

I walked past that phone box about 6pm that evening... ouch indeed.

Cheers for that. As you can see it just shunted the phonebox off its foundations. I was going to stop but there were already a couple of guys on the scene and, well, the lights were green.

Isn't "Nappy Velley" somewhere around Streatham? Indicates it's been pha-nar, pah-nrr in motion for quite some time

 

[teuchter]

[twistedAM]

No, that is Northcote road etc.

[teuchter]

[nagapie]

Just saw the library on BBC4.

Were they talking about closing it and turning it into a Tesco?

 

[editor]

Great to see Rushy out last night, nearly as pissed as me!

Does anyone know Brixton Rec's prices off the top of their head?

[ShiftyBagLady]

Yeah thanks Kanda, I did look but couldn't find what the prices actually are, specifically to use the gym and pool... The pay as you go arrangement not the monthly membership.
