Brixton Chitter Chatter and News - June 2012

[CH1]

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

Didn't go to the Angel today - too busy showing "Idiocracy" to a friend.
Anybody else go? If it wasn't better today than yesterday I reckon we're talking week, not months of temporary use!

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.

He's always looked ill to me. I take it he looks iller. Hope he's ok too seems like a nice man

 

[boohoo]

I went however we came right at the end of the free session. Some just plain old arty farty could be about anything art and a few nice illustrations, images of local places, people. Was nice to have it on the doorsteps. Mix bag of arty types there. I didn't do the are you the right type of locals quiz with them.

 

[quimcunx]

me too but I've put my report on the dedicated thread.

Has anyone had acupuncture done at either the Herne Hill GP practice or Brixton Acupuncture? My left shoulder is really fucked -I need some pain relief! Need to know which one I should go to.

The Iveagh House Surgery on
Loughborough Rd has an amazing NHS acupuncturist. Can't recommend him enough.

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?

Those foodies probably saw it in a gumbo restaurant in Alabama and thought it looked cute or something.

Hot dog stand outside the tube entrance last night. We are becoming the West End but with better tourists. Or something.

 

[editor]

I'd to wait for a bus right next to that stench.
I actually saw someone buy one but the other week he went 20 minutes without anyone showing any remote interest.

Glad I am only wearing a t-shirt and half hour walk from home

I will get one and report back if you pay?

It's still pissing down out there.

 

[madolesance]

Still pissing down outside here on the hill.
We'll be nice and dry tonight, but tomorrow.....

Let's hope it's going to be fair for the build a bike

That was because (in a Jungian sense) he was drawing on a deep groundswell of collective knowledge.
When he cut my mole off it was a bit more sinister - wielding the scalpel like.
Anyway they're moving into the new PFI centre at Patmos Road shortly - so patients better get in quick. Unless devotees of the P5 that is.

Woah - 3 minutes of epic rain. We've got the window open and could hear loads of screams from people caught without a brolly

dry on the Hill but rain starting now

 

[colacubes]

It's just started up again here too. I heard thunder as well

 

[kittyP]

Hail just finished here

However, Urban is silly today.
I approve.

 

[Badgers]

I was up in Euston. Walking down the road, shades on and suddenly got drenched in 200 yards

Did your clothes comically shrink, leaving you looking like a post-strop Incredible Hulk?

 

[colacubes]

And it's now beautiful sunshine and hot

Bit tight but mainly around the waist for some reason

 

[Orang Utan]

Oh good, just about to cycle from Deptford to Brixton - it's been sunny all day here!

 

[editor]

There's some darkish clouds over Crystal Palace.

 

[Orang Utan]

Bugger! Will have to risk it anyway

 

[kittyP]

Went to Courtesan last night.
It was the best dim sum I have had by a long shot!! And not expensive.
Totally mouth-watering.
I heartily recommend it to any Londoners.
The owner spent ages talking to us about it and seemed really excited and passionate about the food and the drink selection.

Top night.

 

[boohoo]

Bugger! Will have to risk it anyway

Saw you cycle past!! well done!!

 

[CH1]

Surely something in Brixton between 4.14 pm yesterday and now?
Or is Urban 75 on the RBS server???
