Shame.

Lambeth have suspended the parking bay in front of our house, and also round the corner for a week while electricity work is carried out. The suspension lasts until the end of today, but the work is finished. Today I noticed that people who'd parked (with permits) in the suspended bays have got tickets - on a Bank Holiday, which seems spectacularly cuntish. I know it's the letter of the law and all that, but still.

Joyless weather again. Going outdoors soon too. I predict a bus to the pub rather than a walk. Shame it is raining for the parade today, not that I had planned to pop along.

 

[Ms T]

It's supposed to brighten up later.

I have no comment to make on far flung restaurants in a Brixton thread.

 

[Onket]

Apart from that one?^

If you go to the Dogstar you'll have to take photo ID which is scanned in before you're allowed entry.

unbelieveable. I won't be going there again if that's the case. I notice there's been some complaining on Twitter over the past week of people getting chucked out of the Dogstar and knarly security guards.

You will the next time you pass it though.

You will the next time you pass it though.

I'll probably forget and curse and decide to make a point of looking on return journey - and forget again

 

[Greebo]

Put a reminder on your phone?

 

[Onket]

I've posted on the Coach & Horses/Living Bar thread about it still not being open at lunchtime.

Miserable is about the best you can hope for in a passport photo IME. The alternatives being drunk or insane.

I am translucent in mine.

The Market House is having its grand launch party tomorrow. Whenever I see the word 'deejays' I just think of AK and his Kombat Explosions.

It was busy in there on Sunday evening, that's fo sho.
