Brixton chitter-chatter & news Jan 2012

[Ms T]

I've never heard a good word said about him, total arse

This.

Sean @ Tidy Hair told me it was going to be dim sum and cocktails - a Brixton version of Hakkasan maybe!

 

[Chilavert]

Yes. Paolo handed over the management to someone else and it changed name to os navigodores. Now it is changing again.

The food isn't great, but I like going there for a drink sometimes and the staff are always very friendly. Might go and check out the latest incarnation at the weekend.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

He still owns it, afaik.

oh yeah, I think I told you that some time last year after quizzing him up on it. Just rents it to the other guy I think. I've not been in there for months and months and months. Food and portions went downhill

 

[quimcunx]

IIRC Brix told me.

I had a portuguese tart and a coffee in there a couple of weeks back. first time in ages. Brix stopped being enamoured of it. It was usually her arrangement to meet there.

Seems like it's lost quite a few customers

Weren't too busy mind.

Prado?

Not sure what that is. Do you mean Fado?

 

[quimcunx]

Yes!

 

[Orang Utan]

prado is the rail that goes around the lower part of a wall, silly!

It's a big Museum in Madrid.

So quimmy was at least on the right peninsula.

Ah, so she had a Portuguese Tart in a museum in Madrid. Didn't realise museums allowed that kind of thing, but fair play to them

 

[quimcunx]

So I'm giving myself 1 point.

This is just the sort of chitter chatter that that crime-obsessed poster hates.

No, she was mistaken for a Portugese Tart in a museum in Madrid

Oh sorry, misread her post. Well some men are into short tarts I suppose.

Covered the price of my ticket though, so not a bad day all told.

Folks, any suggestions for good cafés in the Stockwell/Vauxhall area? I know of Bonnington already.

 

[colacubes]

Brunswick House cafe is really good and right by Vauxhall station:

http://brunswickhousecafe.co.uk/

It's part cafe part weird museum and collection of oddities

 

[TruXta]

Was just looking at their website! Hmmm, never been, might spring for that. Cheers!

It's February!
