Brixton Chitter Chatter and News - July 2012

[leanderman]

That would be the worst place to sit EVERRR, for many different reasons.

it's a very surprising proposal

 

[Onket]

i wonder if it's a pay one.

Actually, I noticed earlier that it's plastered with claims that you can get 'FREE CASH' out of it.

So I don't know.

 

[bluestreak]

i love the way they advertise free cash. like, they're just fucking giving it away.

How and why would you sit there? Don't the flower twins have some say in that?

 

[Onket]

Well they are. As long as you've got in in the first place.

Or an agreed overdraft, at least.

 

[Brixton Hatter]

I want to get tickets for the Hootananny on Thursday night. Can I buy them in advance at the venue, or just on Ticketweb and at the door, which both end up being about a fiver more expensive?

Blacker Dread sells them.

Just noticed that Starbucks is asking for permission for seating outside its Brixton Tube station outlet.

Er...where? There's no space! The flower sellers use it and people have to get into the tube station. Nuts idea. Barely space for a table. And anyway, I thought people went in to Starbucks cos they want to avoid Brixton.

Lambeth's got a new bit of kit - "a new high tech street cleaning machine that washes, scrubs and dries pavements"

Rumours that it will be permanently stationed outside the Prince Albert are currently unconfirmed...

Fuck The Albert. I'll have it permanently stationed in my flat ta

A sound investment. The Quite Nice Stone on windrush square (and pavement in general) gets very dirty.

Couldn't see anything on the planning database - is it a planning application? Or licensing? Ta..

I remember when it was all fields. Well, lots of nice grass, at least.

just a notice in the window, i gave it only a glance

Like a village?

 

[editor]

Like a village?

No, more like a park. Or gardens.

 

[Rushy]

They seemed to be intent on filming us drinking coffees outside Federation. Never heard of her before but she is certainly very cute in real life.

VILLAGE

ARCADE

 

[Onket]

Isn't 'the arcade' the bit from Boots to the end, and then across the road, the bit from the mad candle shop onwards is 'the market'?

That's another arcade. Neither of them are villages. Nor is the Brixton neighbourhood .

 

[RaverDrew]

That's Reliance Arcade, the other part is Granville Arcade.

Didn't say they were villages.

Cheers for clarifying, Drew. I must be some kind of orrible tight trousered newcomer to not know that, etc, etc.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

ONKET IS WRONG and Raver and Twisted are right

 

[twistedAM]

Didn't say they were villages.

I know you didn't. The village bit was not in response to you.
Anyway I've got Minnie on my side so no point in arguing

 

[Belushi]

Brixton is going to be just like Paris

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Brixton is going to be just like Paris

The fancy new road cleaning machine might prevent that.

 

[Onket]

Anyway I've got Minnie on my side so no point in arguing

Fair point.

 

[Badgers]

Anyone see the open topped god bus going down the road today?
