Do you think it warranted it's own thread :D

Not sure how this spilled over to Brixton!

There's obviously people that have never seen/heard it so a new thread probably is warranted, even though it was discussed in the favourite bird thread in 2006

Has anybody spotted any Lyre Birds in Brockwell Park? Or have the Parakeets scared them all away?

The Lyre Bird would not last 5 minutes on the mean streets of Brixton.
Look at this bird coming out of the House of Bottles on Coldharbour Lane for example:

Lyre bird would clear the street with it's sirens-and-gunshot imitation. And make a packet beat-boxing on the corner of CHL.

Importing Lyre Birds to Brixton.
This needs another thread of it's own or possible a blog.

I dare you to start another Lyre Bird thread. Editor's probably watching you

I wonder if Lyre Birds can say skunk and weed? Might be considered entrapment

Start a thread about a bird that copies sounds copying a thread about a bird that copies sounds?

You've confused me now.

Anyway, this is what will happen if you start a thread about a bird that copies sounds copying a thread about a bird that copies sounds (I reckon)

baby on the loose - haven't got time for a search... what's the name of that hairdresser down opp the old Tangeir (sic) and is it any good? A bit reluctant to go to the famous Juan as I'll cry if I lose too much hair. I need a good cut and some kind of grey covering colour - pref highlights...
 
If anyone heard a massive boom emanating from central Brixton today sometime around 10:30am it was a digger meeting the railway bridge. Said digger was being transported on a lorry, the driver of which not only failed to take the height of his load into account but failed to stop.

The whole of the farmer's market turned to see what the loud noise was, chap serving at the stall I was at saw it and estimated the digger to be a £30k write-off.

Police arrived pretty quickly and I daresay they would notify whoever maintains the bridge.
