Brixton Chitter Chatter and News - June 2012

[RaverDrew]

Well tbf lasagna is better than pizza.

What ???

I generally prefer dirty Pizza Hut style to Pizza Express which has the most dull over-rated pizzas in the world.

Controversial I'd agree that their regular pizzas are boring and can often be very disappointing, but the Calabrese (created for them by chef Francesco Mazzei) is for me the pinnacle of all pizzas.

"Fortunately we just got a maintainance contract with Lambeth Living, so we'll be able to keep you on despite your total cack handedness"

aaarrrgghhhh, don't get me started

 

[Chilavert]

I think it's also going along Camberwell New Road - I thought it was the 27th, but I might be mistaken.

I only caught a quick glimpse of the map so could easily have got it wrong.

As for pizzas, im a big fan of the Oregano at the bottom of Tulse Hill.

It's better than what was there before (a tattered old sign IIRC) but yes, it is quite strange. "By our own hand we live" - is that some kind of double-edged comment about how we have to look after ourselves, but also have the choice to drink our lives away??

I like the artist's style though. I assume that's St Matthew's Church on the top box above?

 

[boohoo]

It's the church in Trinity gardens. Southwark is great at supporting public arts - unlike Lambeth!

 

[boohoo]

And in other news, plans to restore the Nuclear Dawn mural!

[Onket]

You're not the easiest person to please though are you Onket

Perhaps next time, have a go at trying to think of a joke of your own.

 

[Onket]

Excellent! I still have the poster you gave me of it - it even survived my recent move without getting creased!

To begin with, it would be easy enough for the trees and vegetation in front of it to be cut back and removed. That would make it look better, without a drop of paint involved. I bet some people don't even know it's there.

huh?

What joke? Where's the joke in my comment?

[Minnie_the_Minx]

You've lost me I'm afraid. I don't tell jokes

 

[Brixton Hatter]

there is going to be a "World Basketball Festival" in Windrush Square on Sat June 30th. Apparently a temporary basketball court will be built in the square and there's gonna be DJs and stuff. It's free. (Earplugs and screens will be provided for Ritzy drinkers.)

Reminder: The World Basketball Festival" in Windrush Square on Sat June 30th.

 

[Onket]

Hilarious.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Hilarious.

I was only trying to remind you

So ungrateful

 

[Onket]

That was you not telling a joke again, wasn't it.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

That was you not telling a joke again, wasn't it.

I already told you, I don't tell jokes

I've known him for a very long time....lovely bloke.

 

[Badgers]

I've known him for a very long time....lovely bloke.

You have 'known him' for 'long time' eh? Eh?

 

[Onket]

I already told you, I don't tell jokes

You're very good at not telling them.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

You're very good at not telling them.

Thank you kindly

I think

Not in the biblical sense, you bad boy. He was a friend of a good friend that died young (50-ish). Morganico made a beautiful floral tribute in the the shape of a bike.

 

[Onket]

Thank you kindly

I think

It's not funny. So if you're not telling a joke, that's a good thing.

If it was meant to be funny you've failed miserably.

Sigh.
