Brixton Chitter Chatter and News - July 2012

[editor]

The Prince Albert was fucking brilliant tonight with the kind of really, really mixed crowd that made me love the place when I first came here, fuck knows how long ago.

 

[crawl]

Aww, I'd like to experience that. Maybe tomorrow will be the same. Friends wanted to go to the Edinburgh but we didn't know they closed the garden at night; what the hell's the point in having such a large beautiful area? Yeah, yeah, sleeping neighbours. Well don't buy next to a pub damn it

Wonder if they are into saving the Coldharbour Lane Open Space?
Think I should bring some proposals?
Unfortunately there is a South London Gays meeting @8 pm @ Bread & Roses.
Tuesday 10 July MONTHLY MEETING 8.00pm Bread and Roses
A Journey of Faith: Jeremy Marks talks about the ’Courage’ movement for gay evangelical Christians, which has changed its ministry from ‘cure’ to acceptance.The Bread and Roses is at 68 Clapham Manor Street, SW4 6DZ, a turning off Clapham High Street. (nearest tubes: Clapham North and Clapham Common)
As you can see this is right up my street.

Can someone please liaise with me re Saving Coldharbour Open Space - Ed - anyone.
I don't mind hijacking the consultants' meeting - but need to leave by 7.30 pm to get to Clapham - as you can see. A bit of a steer would be nice!

Does anyone have problems getting T-mobile network and 3G signal in Brixton?

yes. 5 bars of signal but texts don't send and calls don't connect. apparently still a problem with the merger with Orange.

Exactly what I am getting. Drives me nuts. I'll suddenly get a text saying I've got 3 missed calls from the Mrs. Hope they sort this out soon, as it has been going on now for at least a month.

Big problems with 3 in Brixton since Thursday evening.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

...and Stockwell/Clapham too I've discovered, as someone rang to ask if they could come and piggyback my landline connected wi-fi.

Similar here with 3. Signal strength okay, but the connection's been dropped quite a bit these last 2 weeks.

 

[Badgers]

Town seemed quiet tonight....

 

[RaverDrew]

Maybe everyone's sitting at home alone wondering why their friends haven't phoned/txted them ?

Or they are at BrickBox since seeing the poster?

Or I am getting old and was going home before normal people go out?

Does no one use TalkMobile? I don't use my phone for the net or anything like that, but it's the cheapest network I've found. Rarely ever had issues with coverage like I did with T-mobile.

I was curious as to why nobody ever seems to have heard of it. They offer 3G/contracts/ all that... run through Carphone Warehouse and Vodafone. Is there something wrong with their service I've not heard about?

TalkMobile uses the Vodaphone network, so it'll be the same coverage as TalkTalk, BT Mobile, Asda Mobile etc

 

[Badgers]
