Brixton Chitter Chatter and News - June 2012

[CH1]

Look what happend to me on Facebook last night:

Falase has now posted this:
This thread is out of bounds. Gatecrashing by unfriended gnostic loons are hereby prohibited. Congenital anglo-saxon mutts ought to always revel in jesus skunks up in a Falkland pub, a Barbadian parish or an LRA episcopal. Tell the queen my dick needs some sucking, anytime.

Cyberbullying or what?

More a case of American 666 than Nigerian 419 if you ask me!

Maybe Falase should join my Traffic Warden bondage parlour! Unfortunately I think the reference to the queen is to Elizabeth II rather than my good self though.

Tootle pip!

There are now two comments on the ColdharbourRocks blog in favour of upgrading the car wash to an exercise space.
Anyone else interested to comment?

Lots of filming outside my house again tonight (Flaxman Road) for what is apparantly a new television series which I can't remember the name of after one of my housemates asked the guys outside. It stars Olivia Colman who was wandering around earlier. This is the second time they've used this bit of road (the bit right on the corner to Coldharbour Lane) in a couple of weeks so it's perhaps a recurring location in the series.

They were loud and drove lots of cars and lighting rigs in the back of lorries and have only just left.

Olivia Coleman is awesome. Hope this isn't her 'Friday Night Dinner'.

 

[editor]

She is indeed. Great actress.

 

[quimcunx]

I don't think it's either of those.

It's definitely something drama related specifically set in South London.

I like Friday night dinner - first two episodes weren't great though.

Interesting use of Brixton Road this morning - one cyclist riding on handed whilst carry a spade or a shovel. I didn't get close enough to distinguish. And then a car driver deciding that driving on the left hand side of the road wasn't for them; until they realised that it wasn't a four lane motorway and there was a lorry looming upon them.

The path that was being repaved behind the post office is almost finished too.

The olympic pixies have been out in Electric Avenue and have put up bunting overnight. It actually looks rather nice although I'd prefer plain without the branding. I took a pic but my phone seems to have the hump this morning, so I'll try and post it later when it behaves itself.

 

[Orang Utan]

When's the torch coming through Brixton again?

 

[colacubes]

When's the torch coming through Brixton again?

26th I think. Brixton Road, Acre Lane and Coldharbour Lane are all now Olympic flagged up.

 

[colacubes]

Shit pic of said bunting:

 

[Orang Utan]

That's today! Has anyone got a mobile friendly route for London?
The official route online has a clunky map that is impossible to use on a phone.
I wonder where it's coming from before Peckham. I'm pretty sure it's going through Peckham as there has been bunting alon the road from Peckham to Camberwell for weeks

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I thought it was 26th of July, not June.

 

[Orang Utan]

Oh, does this mean we have to suffer another month of Olympic blahblah?
I thought the games were imminent.

I've just posted this in the London forum but I know lots of Brixton-suburb dwellers read this thread too.. so just wanting to post it here also. If this is very naughty mods, please do remove it and accept my apologies!

Calling all Tulse Hillians and West Norwoodians...

http://westnorwood.wordpress.com/2012/06/26/future-of-west-norwood-library/

just got the above in my inbox - re West Norwood library. I don't know if you've ever been in the auditorium there (it's lovely) but it seems an independent cinema co is talking about using it in conjunction with getting the library back in there - there's a link to send your views at the bottom of the article as part of a consultation. Personally I'd love the library back, it had some cracking events both in the library itself and the auditorium and an independent cinema would be brilliant! Either way I do not want to see it sold off to property developers to make more "luxury" flats.

(for those who don't know, the library got shut down when thieves nicked the roof and hasn't reopened since - there is a temporary library but the "real" library is in quite an attractive location and there's a risk, I think (call me cynical!), that it won't come back as a library if we're not careful)

They seemed to be filming in the Seagull Launderette when I came by at 10.30ish

I saw them parked outside Fujiyama for the second time in about a week just now. I nearly got run over by a reversing car which wasn't looking where it was going. Luckily a nice security guy stopped him!

Some of the 'prisoners' aren't real. A friend of mine went for the audition.

There is, I've got one in my freezer. The nice lady from Ocado delivered it at the weekend.
