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

[supercity]

Here's a couple to add to the list:

Darcus Howe
Tibor Fischer (cult novelist)
oh, and Linton Kwesi Johnson

and Joanna Lumley's in Stockwell, as is Will Self

Paul Ross used to live on my street. I used to see him hanging around outside my house watching his kids play on their bikes. A cabbie told me that Helen Lederer lives on my street as well but I've never seen her.

Oh, a quick search reckons she lives in East Dulwich now, but used to live in Brixton.

"I used to live in Brixton, in a cottage that I bought from Rab C Nesbitt (the actor Gregor Fisher)."

Excellent! Rab C Nesbitt used to live in my street.

I'm sure there's a few The Bill actors that may live hereabouts

I've seen one that looked almost identical to the black one that's now in Eastenders in Kings College.

I've also seen a double for the gingery blonde detective outside Morleys

and I've also seen the black one with short hair in the GeorgeHobananny

I saw the woman who played June Ackland in the Bill on a 'Fungi Forage' in Crystal Palace last week. Any good?

ah well, I think people have indicated that if you don't know their name, then they're not famous

I'd rather know June Ackland's real name than Jade Goody

Why do you care whether Jade Goody knows June Ackland's real name or not?

A new hairdresser's will be opening in the parade at the bottom of Tulse Hill underneath the new flats which have yet to be occupied opposite Brazas and the other shops there. There's already Andy's the barber and a flash Afro-Caribbean hairdressers there. I wonder what this one will be like?

Another flash Afro-Caribbean hairdressers with nail bar incorporated?

I walked past what looked like another new hairdressers in Brixton the other day. Tragically, I can't actually remember where I saw the place - vaguely central Brixton I believe - but it looked more of a fairly posh Euro-hair stylist, with one poor bloke sitting there all by himself. Anyone know of this place? - I'm beginning to think that I must have been hallucinating on my hangover.

I can't bring myself to use Andy's on Tulse Hill anymore. It's cheap and cheerful admittedly, but last time he instructed some reluctant trainee 12 year how to ineptly shave the sides of my head whilst eating a sandwich. And then took over with his unwashed sandwichy hands whilst masticating the last unpleasant vestiges of sandwich over my bonce. I'm not too precious, but the thought of his cheesy fingers running through my hair, crumbs falling onto my shoulders like breadcrumb dandruff, still makes me shudder a little.

i go to roche top of lordship lane, jtn with barry road, proper barbers £10.

The 'Beach Bar' (formerly the Tongue and Cocaine) on Altlantic Rd seems to have been fairly untroubled by customers since opening, despite the hasty introduction of a happy hour or two.

The burly bouncers permanently parked outside don't exactly add to the ambience either.

I used to go to Andy's but I found he ended up giving me the same haircut, no matter what I asked for and the service was getting more and more offhand. I now use the barber's at the top of Brixton Hill. Good haircut, friendly guys.

My b/f uses them as well. Tony's isn't it? Or is it Andy's?

Flat top? That's all I used to get from him.

 

[tarannau]

Really? Surely that'd take more precision that his shirt or very short military style crop he specialises in.

Matthew Herbert used to live on Blenheim Gardens; Jerry Dammers lives on the street after that or thereabouts (I pay no attention to names of lesser thoroughfares)

Sounds like you'd end up back at the Windy

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Just came across this house for sale in Blenheim

Only £650,000

 

[nick]

£650k could be worth it
Think of the time saved walking to the sorting office to queue up for lost post.

There's a man outside the tube challenging people to games of speed chess. He says he's raising money to go and see his sick dad in Jamacia. He also says he's Jamaica's number one speed chess champion, even if it's all a load of cobblers - the chess is good

 

[Donna Ferentes]

I wonder if it's guy?

 

[Donna Ferentes]

I thought it was normally "skunk weed" offered for sale rather than speed....
