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

Me and thunderstorms are not the best of friends, particularly this close to bedtime.

There's nothing like laying in bed watching the sky flash and the thunder thundering. Brilliant.

Sitting outside on a porch is better though

 

[miss minnie]

I just have to content myself with sitting in the bay window, overlooking the park, with a glass of chilled white wine.

Arn't you getting wet though? Saying that, my other halfs standing by the open balcany door. Thinks it's stopping now. Booo

I'm not on a porch or balcony as I don't have one, but that's where I'd like to be

I'm jealous. Does it smell nice and green?

 

[Mrs Magpie]

When the first rumble started I rushed out because it sounded like someone was nicking my wheelie bin

Spoken like a genuine Olde Person.

 

[miss minnie]

Yes. Both the park and the wine.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Who's had her bin nicked before. It was a nightmare getting a new one off the council.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Lovely stormy skies

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I belive you Mrs M. Mine was nicked years ago.

Have you not painted your house number on it? That's what loads of people seem to do

 

[TruXta]

Sorry to hear that. I've had the opposite problem, we had a bin too many!

 

[boohoo]

When I was a kid, my parents had their bins nicked so my dad painted the house address on in bright yellow gloss. And a very nice job he did too!

I got stick on numbers from Poundland. The nicked bin had the number on in day-glo nail varnish!

Oh, do they still do some? Might get some for my bin. Has to be neater than paint, although if they're easily removeable, maybe not a good idea

Mine has stayed on, but they do have a rather nasty floral design.

Wow space station just flew overhead!
ISS tracker

Makes a change from the helicopter I suppose.

 

[miss minnie]

I wonder if it spotted the missing chicken? Or the missing wheelie bins?

 

[Janh]

It'll be visible again tonight - cloud permitting - at 53 mins past midnight arriving in the west progressing eastwards. Make a date.

 

[Greebo]

The space station I hope, not the chicken.

 

[Winot]

 

[miss minnie]

...

 

[gabi]

It'll be visible again tonight - cloud permitting - at 19 mins past midnight arriving in the west progressing eastwards. Make a date.

It's going to be torrential rain in brixton all night allegedly so not much chance

 

[ericjarvis]

Are the two things perhaps connected. Is the chicken in hiding after stealing the wheelie bins as part of a fiendish plot to exterminate the entire human race, or have aliens abducted both as part of an experiment to see if there is any possibility of intelligent life evolving on Planet Earth?

Quite possibly. The ISS and tractor beams are also implicated.

 

[ericjarvis]

It's certainly something very strange. First a cat goes missing, then it's found again, then a chicken goes missing, and some wheelie bins, then another cat and a puppy. We still haven't found either that damn Higgs boson or the missing 23% of the matter in the universe. I've checked down the back of the sofa, and there's no livestock, no wheelie bins, and a maximum of 0.7% of the matter in the universe in the form of dust. Quite frankly I'm mystified. It's probably something to do with the International Zoroastrian Conspiracy we hear so little about.

 

[quimcunx]

We lost contact with fogbat when he was on a bus between brixton and peckham but it was a happy ending. Not like for that chicken.


Anyone know if anything is on at the Albert tonight or if it might be quiet or can anyone suggest a pub to take a couple of northerners who don't know better that won't be horrendous?

I saw a rather large tour group being shown around Brixton. It was quite funny because a number of us stopped to look at them (in disbelief) as they were looking at us (as specimens of the local population).

I took a photo with my shit camera phone.
