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

Has there been a change in the 2 route? Wry reported to me a couple of days ago of a 2 that only went as far as Brixton stn, not onto Norwood...
 
So Norwood garage is shut? Blimey, must be a pretty big leak.

No, Norwood Garage is open (this is where you need to walk to to get a 2 bus back from Knights Hill towards Brixton), and the stop on Hardel Rise (Tulse Hill) is also still in use. However, there's a huge divert (it goes right into Streatham & out again) between those 2 points if you're trying to get from Knight's Hill to Tulse Hill - Buses in the other direction between those places are more or less okay. The same goes for the 432, 68 and 468.
 
It's all fixed now - as of today.. there was a divertion because of the burst pipe next to the church in W.Norwood (on the east side - which is why going north it was diverted but going south it was fine), but they finished fixing it today.

occasionally they only go to brixton. and the rest of the 2s only go to norwood bus garage these days - it used to go on to crystal palace. the 432 is one of the new bus routes introduced by red ken about 4 years ago - it does the same route as the 2 but runs between brixton and crystal palace. and it was a sorely needed extra bus - when i lived up tulse hill you used to have to fight the crowds to even get on the bus!

That was unpleasant: just caught one of the addicts who's been wedging the fire escape door open in the act (I heard his mate shouting up at him just before).

I asked him what he was doing at the fire escape and he first claimed he'd come along to "clean it up" (how kind!) before his dishevelled mate appeared at the top. He then tried to get heavy but got 'nuff back from me. Fucking lying cunt.

Some of the residents with kids are getting very angry about this.

It's fucking unpleasant. :mad: We had 2 years of this on and off until we managed to comprehensively fix our gate so they couldn't break in any more.

Once the've actually had their hit shouting at them won't do any good as they only get more aggressive. We actually found that the only way to get rid of them was for me or my female neighbours whining at them about how upsetting we found it and how scared we were :rolleyes:. The blokey shouting approach doesn't work at that point unfortunately :(
 
Is one of them that junkie who looks like Vincent Gallo's ugly junkie brother who wears a girl's white bomber jacket and hangs round the station?
Nothing to offer if it is, I just saw him round there and wondered.

I know the fella you mean! He seemed to be getting better a few years ago and started wearing stylish clothes and looking healthy, but he looks to have slid downhill again.

He has indeed shuffled up around our floor once or twice, but he's not one of the regular 'visitors.' The fire escape really stinks of piss now and two people seem to be sleeping there.

Nice.
 
It seems there may finally be a change at neon/bar with no name/tangier. When I just came past there was a chalkboard menu outside with carribean food on - oxtail, jerk chicken. The inside looked the same, but as if they'd tried to make a few temporary changes - tableclothes etc. There was no sign of the Mad Man either.

Anyone know anything?
 
Fucking junkies kept me up half of last night with their bastard mates shouting to be let in through the fire exit at 2am, 3am, 4am etc.

I accosted one earlier and he promised me on his mother's life etc etc that he would never ever use the fire exit again. Yeah. Right. Cunt.
 
There's a new bar opening up on Astoria Parade - Bar No. 1 (inventive), but to its credit, it seems its going to have a pair of Martini glasses as part of its logo.
