Brixton Chitter Chatter and News - June 2012

[el-ahrairah]

ask the illegals what they did to make the mice move to your house. then do the same thing but more. voila, mouses gone somewhere else.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Anyone know where I can get a good mouser?
Since the ever changing illegals moved in next door I have had mouse problems.
They are getting bold too - they creep up and eat my snotty toilet tissue whilst I'm asleep watching TV.
They don't really run too fast any more if I go into the kitchen at night.
I have a moral objection to poison (and also worry about poisoning myself)

Any feline experts out there? Maybe I should start a thread? Ed can you help?

They're eating your snot rags?

 

[Brixton Hatter]

I've written a piece showing the full route here: http://www.urban75.org/blog/the-olympic-torch-relay-comes-to-brixton-26th-july-2012/

It goes right through Brixton.

The phrase "punchable face" springs to mind.

Dirty illegals.

 

[Badgers]

Dirty illegals.

What is illegal? Do they loiter or jaywalk?

 

[Onket]

A lot of stuff is illegal.

His company seems perfect for them (so long as they're also keen to hang out by the bins):

In addition to developing their own work, The London Quest Company are
affiliated withCrossover Labs, an organisation that exists to bring together
creative professionals from diverse disciplines in order to form new
interdisciplinary collaborations and generate ideas for projects.

At the core of every London Quest project is a pool of professionally trained, versatile actors. With charm, intelligence and personality in abundance, this team represent the ultimate brand ambassadors.

In essence, a Quest is an interactive treasure hunt using actors to deliver clues. We create these adventures from scratch depending on the requirements of the client. Ideal as a team-building activity within the corporate world, Quests are also a perfect way to celebrate a special occasion amongst friends

[boohoo]

All this stuff from London Quest sounds like your standard marketing crap which actually becomes rather tired as most people are reading between the lines. Would you date someone who described themselves as charming, intelligent and personality with abundance? Well, you would certainly be wary of such a good write-up. At the same time, for their marketing, they can't list their faults in a confessional manner.

Their company suggests it exists because some people from arts and drama school didn't want to end up in a low paid job in an office. With the ability to come up with an idea and to sell it, they head towards doing something they enjoy rather than another soulless office job.

 

[CH1]

Dirty illegals.

Look all I want is a good mouser. Are there no felines on these boards! Only dog walkers apparently.

And THEIR dogs are dirtier than my mice. What dog would clean its master's snot rags up? I ask you!

To describe myself any other way would clearly be an unnecessary lie.

Lambeth will probably forget to switch it on as it's hard to remember it's there as it's so pathetic

It was better when it first opened wasn't it?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

erm, I think it was such a non-event, I was keeping my eyes out for weeks for this new fountain 'til I suddenly saw it and thought WOW, that's the most unspectacular fountain I've ever seen!

 

[kittyP]

I think they do a pretty good pizza. Given I don't eat meat, they always have a decent selection. My only gripe is sometimes their plates aren't hot enough, which means your pizza goes cold a little too quickly. (And you have to go in the daytime on a weekday, or the queues are mental.)

The queues look long but go down pretty quick.

I'm sure I remember it being more forceful right at the beginning

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Maybe, but it took me a while to realise it was there as it was such a damp squib

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Maybe one of the drinkers from the Ritzy puked into one of the spouts and blocked it

The Ritzy food is pretty dry

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

The Ritzy food is pretty dry

Then maybe the spouts are clogged up.

What we need is a picture of when the fountain was first switched on besides a current day picture

 

[Onket]

'Need'?

 

[Greebo]

'Need'?

Okay then you pedant, "want".

 

[EastEnder]

Okay then you pedant, "want".

"pedant" is a bit overly generous, please use "grumpy old malcontent" in future.

Too many strokes, sweetie.

The DJing in the Albert tonight was so fabulously ropey and the music so unashamedly bad 80s that in the end I was won over.
But that's beer for you.

Talking of which some light reading for Saturday morning:
Turntables and slum clearance (Brixton Society article)

You didn't find my football stickers while you were there, did you?!
