Brixton Chitter Chatter and News - June 2012

[CH1]

HRH Prince Charlatan!

 

[CH1]

That Richard Hollaway (former Bishop of Edinburgh who resigned when he lost his faith) is getting a lot of work on the BBC these days. A twenty part programme on Doubt after the mid-day news on R4.
Now co-introducing Dudamel on BBC4 TV.
Good luck to him though - nice to hear from someone with ideals - who also would rather speak from the heart than pretend to believe to keep his job.

*warning-weather post*

What the hell is going on with the weather?!?
I walked to the shop in a t-shirt an hour or so ago and it was clement.
Now the trees are being blown all over the place and its raining (again).
It looks like monsoon season out there.

*weather post over*

You're now in SW9 aren't you? Well there's your problem.

Down here in SW2 it's a tropical paradise. God respects superior postcodes.

UP

 

[bluestreak]

And his dysllexic cyclist friends.

spelling dyslexic wrongly and ignoring the communal standards of communication that is grammar is not making you look the winner here.

 

[EastEnder]

UP

Up what?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Up what?

SW2 is UP

 

[EastEnder]

SW2 is UP

Up, as in superior, enlightened, less prone to rodent infestation, definitely. Geographically, if one deems "up" as north and "down" as south, then SW9 is up and SW2 is down, relative to one and other, obv.

Okay then, how come I got rained on today (in SW2)? Warm rain, I grant you, but still wet for all that. And BTW...

SW2 is UP

^this.

SW2 is on higher ground, the better to wash away encroachers from SW9.

That's right, SW2 is soooo inferior that you SW9ites can't resist coming here.

OIC. So SW2 has the physical, as well as the moral, high ground. Works for me, means I'm going up in the world!

 

[kittyP]

I did inform people the weather was going to change, but would you listen?!

I wasn't here to listen

It's not going to be a good week btw

 

[kittyP]

It's not going to be a good week btw

It's Friday already

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Oh fuck

I thought it was Wednesday. Shit, hope I don't have trouble getting a taxi tomorrow

Bloody football on TV has fucked up my days.

I could have gone to chemist today to collect prescription, but rang them before they closed for half day (which they obviously didn't) and asked them if they could drop stuff off tomorrow afternoon

This could also explain why, when I just looked at BBC weather, Thursday wasn't showing up. I thought there was a glitch in the system

 

[editor]

There's been an awful lot of siren wailing police cars going by in the last 5 minutes.

 

[crawl]

I wanted to ask what happened last night (21st really) because there were lots of sirens of various kinds going by. I searched Brixton in the news but only found that Prince Charles had stopped by the Angel (wtf?)

I went by there with a friend tonight and after joking with the 3 guards we were all set to go in and leave our beers outside until they told us it was 5 pounds entry fee. It looked like it was a haunted house or something what with the "ambient light". Perhaps another day...

I was thinking of going this afternoon. See what ghosts are lurking - count the condoms not cleaned up - that sort of thing.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Just had two elderly West Indian Pentecostalists on the doorstep. They were really unpushy (the quietest knock ever!) and engaging and charming on the subject of Labradors when they saw ours. A surprisingly unirritating exchange. The literature still went in the shredder though.

 

[colacubes]

God knows what was happening at 4am but heard a load of shouting and arguing and then a police siren and quiet. Hopefully just post Dogstar high jinx and nothing more serious.

 

[madolesance]

Spotted this in Granville Arcade (The Village), along with many other flags including 4 Scottish and 4 Irish. Obliviously a badly chosen job lot for the visit of some politician today. Anyone know more?

 

[uk benzo]

The really softly spoken bearded short man with the cap who asks for change in the market looks extremely ill. I hope he's ok.

That was me walking home taking out a few nu-Brixtonites on the way.

At about midnight last night Brixton centre was much more mental than normal!
I guess it was the bus strike. People spending longer hanging around working out how to get home or elsewhere.
I have never seen so many black cabs outside of central London before

Well next time gag em with their skinny jeans cos I was trying to sleep

 

[kittyP]

Can't badgers just borrow some hedge trimmers and save you the money?
