Nothing for the ladies though is there :mad:

No, that's true, but aren't there other public toilets in the interestingly shaped 'inspirational' metal thing in the bus station proper? I clearly don't wander around there at the popular pissoir times.

Edit: my two hundreth post was about toilets. hmm.
 
Oh and I think I just spotted Chris Rock arriving at the Academy - in a blacked out merc with two blacked out merc people carriers, either him, or someone visiting C&YPS, but I can't imagine the council budget stretches that far. For some reason they're putting temporary shading over the Academy windows to stop you from being able to see in to the vestibule...

You mean the ski slope? Is that where the LT employees sit? :confused:
 
drat, i'd just drafted a response, and the u75 database didn't like me. To recap - yup, LT have space in there, the public loos are on the right (under the uplift bit of the ski slope as you look north).
 
Choice. Just checked the fire escape by aggressively flinging it open (this is a useful precautionary tactic!) to reveal two startled crack users about to tuck into their pipe. I told them firmly to get the fuck out of the building now, like NOW, explaining that the residents are thoroughly pissed off with them and it's not on to use a residential block for taking drugs.

After I slammed the door I had a quick moment as I recalled that they were both quite big geezers.

So did they scarper or come and beat you up?

I was outrageously firm and insistent: "leave NOW please... you CAN NOT take drugs here.., this is a residential block... GO AWAY" and I waited until they picked up their gear and started to head off down the stairs.

I'm afraid my bravado ran out at that point, so I slammed the door shut and called the police.

We've been getting some right unsavoury types here recently but these two seemed fit and healthy and I wouldn't fancy crossing them after they've had a pipeful.

that's very brave of you :eek:
 
editor said:
It was the best I could manage, but there's one or two folks on this block who are beginning to favour a far more physical approach to the problem.

Probably not a good idea in case they eventually get pissed off and take it out on the wrong person.

Is it worth sticking a notice up (before violence!) with words to the effect that the police are monitoring the block and will be called immediately in the event that any drugs are being taken in communal areas?

They'll probably just rip it down though :D

Already done last week! It's still there surprisingly.

Gwan Ed!
 
It may pitch dark, blowing a gale and pissing down with rain outside but the local yoot - bless 'em - are braving the elements to stage a massive egg throwing fight, generously lobbing a few at passers by and inside shops.

:rolleyes: :mad:

chuck some oil over them and then direct a flame thrower. That'll help 'em fry ;)

They're using the fire escape right outside my door and they've taken to jamming the lock with bits of wire - which means there's a good chance that the cunts will accidentally jam the door shut too.

...

I wouldn't fancy having to use the fire escape either - it must be full of filthy needles.

Some kids in our fire escape helped us carry a fucking heavy 3m long roll of vinyl flooring up the seven flights of stairs last night :)

Wouldn't have managed it if they hadn't been there to help, but that sort of enterprising spirit makes me think they were dealers rather than junkies. :rolleyes:

Would you like some of our junkies over your end? We've got loads going spare!

I have seen dealers on Somerleyton Road replaced with a new tranche seconds after the first lot have been arrested.
 
Got woken this morning at 6am by the 'Brixton Alarm Call'

This consisted of a large number of police dressed in riot gear smashing in the front door of my next door neighbors flat.....

Was a bit of a moody, hoody looking sort of chap but I have never seen or heard much nonsense going on from that flat.
 
That might explain the heaps of police vans racing towards Brixton that woke me at early o'clock this morning.

Oh and three new policemen on bikes outside spotted the police station yesterday morning. Wobbling all over the shop, disobeying all known traffic laws and generally looking like a parody. Disgraceful handlebar / seat height arrangement too.
 
Just had to check that the motionless junkie in the fire escape wasn't dead. Thankfully, he appeared to be sleeping (he managed a slurred response), but I'll call the police so they can check it out and make sure he's alright.
 
jesus dude, that sounds like a nightmare. i'd have a real problem with checking to see people are still alive earlier than mid-day.
 
It's not a good start to the day. :(

I've been turfing out crack heads on a daily basis recently. After some polite but insistent badgering they always (reluctantly) leave without any bother - but then I've always caught them before they've got the pipe out.
 
All the Norwood buses were being diverted down Leigham Court Road again last night, anyone know what happened?
 
Just checked and the guy's still there! He seems to be breathing OK but I couldn't wake him - or he could just be pretending that I wasn't there.

Either way I've called the police again (they didn't bother coming last time) and that seems to have done the trick - they're at the door now!
