Brixton chitter chatter part 1 (Nov 2006-June 2008)

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Woolies is probably listed. 3 of the places you mention are pubs, so that makes no sense.

How about McDonalds and KFC? Or the Police station. Tate Gardens now that they've concreted it over again, and Windrush square?

Yeah, but I don't drink in them

I know, Olive Morris House onwards

Very excited about this new bus going up Tulse Hill - the nos. 2 and 432 just don't cut it at all.

And definitely agree that we need some east-west links - all my own family and in-laws are in south-east London and it's a nightmare getting there by public transport and if drinking I don't want to cycle...

Overground (ELL extension) will provide east-west links, excpet oh! no brixton station!

Well...here's a turn up for the books.

After the Pistols, the Albert was shut...! But the Prince was rocking. All kudos to their afro'd DJ, who was knocking out a superb set of punk rock, garage rock, and the like. Good to hear "Psycho", "Goo Goo Muck", and a bunch of other Nuggets-style tunes.

I'm only half-awake but what's the chitter-chatter connection??

Nicely shot vid though.

I think the thread should be renamed Brixton Jibba-Jabba.

It's "Goo Goo Muck". one of the songs played last night. I only knew that Cramps version, so it was interesting to hear the original. Thought I'd post it to give an idea of what was being played at the Prince...

Not strictly Brixton (well its blatantly not), but the horses in Vauxhall City Farm are running around their minipaddock like they're coursing across the Steppes.

And I've still not seen a Eurostar go past...

The corner of the arch of the Portuguese butcher (O Talho) on Atlantic road appears to be a new tiny coffee stall.

Brixton Bicyclists storm Lidl

I signed up to their newsletter (clearly I have time on my hands) but its paid dividends - as of the 22nd Nov the Acre Lane branch will apparently have heaps of thermal / snowboarding stuff in stock (gloves, fleeces, thermals, long johns, angora shoulder warmers (whatever they are)etc.)... I guess this applies to non cyclists too. And for fashion trendies who are aching to model angora shoulder warmers.

Does it tend to go in the first day? Gaijingirl? Anyone?

Bob, you are so gay for Nick Clegg (been looking on Facebook)

Does Amita Dhiri - actress who played Milly in This Life - live in Brixton? I could have sworn I saw her on Elm Park today.

We should do a list of famous Brixton residents:
Miranda Sawyer
Jay Rayner
Chris Morris
Rob Birch
James Nesbitt
Michael Smiley
Me
any additions?

James Nesbitt lives near the lido - which is SE24 - so fringes I guess? I saw him the other day in the gym!

That counts in my book - the whole of Herner Hill, Stockwell and Streatham Hill counts as Brixton - I'm a generous fella

Whereabouts does Chris Morris live? I have a housemate who will camp outside his house when he finds that out.

The really camp one? Bloody nightmare he is - keeps winking at you and hamming it up until you acknowledge him. Yes mate, you're vaguely famous.

I went through a period of bumping into him every other day on the hill and I still can't remember his name. Used to be him and another camp acting chef acting as an extra annoying duo on Ready Steady Cook.

Yep, that's him. Wonder why he's winking at you then?

He's great he is (in a non-famous way) he's done amazing stuff in his life and is really good at sign language. Properly he's a doctor iirc (in a PhD sense although he didn't tell me that, someone else did). We have a drink and a chin-wag in the Albert occasionally.
