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

I'll go back and photograph the new door to Bar No. 1 and see whether they've actually been that clever. [there's too many teenage Korn fans queuing up there at the moment, I'm not sure I could cope with the collecting weight of emo), but I'm not sure they have.

However, their chippie was very helpful in loaning a ladder the other day, which meant we could save an abandoned kitten. Sorry this is all very parochial and clearly not as harrowing as the Editor fire door saga...
 
Came back over just after 21:00 last night.
Could have been more but I was sound asleep by 22:00 and nothing would have woken me!

Out tonight so watch the skies for me!!!!
 
Saw a woman and bloke fighting in the road this morning outside Morleys. They nearly got hit by a scooter.

Then the guy started bashing her up and slapping her to the ground :mad::(
 
The twats who own the shop under my/nipsla's flat have removed the front windows again the other night. They have already lost 2 planning appeals and replaced them once before, not sure they get how the system works. Cold/smelly/noisy flat in the mean time :(

Why have they removed the windows? :confused:
 
I noticed this this morning.

I looked pointedly at the gap and said to the little man watering the fish - 'did the window fall out'

I don't think he understood my point

Mate - you should be suing those bastards - not relying on the council to do anything. I reckon if you went to small claims court and went for the maximum settlement (I think £5k) you'd have a good chance of winning. If they then don't pay up you can send in the bailiffs.
 
'Nuff police action in my manor. As I walked out of the block the bloke in front of me looked like he was going for the title of the World's Most Suspicious Man and - bosh! - Babylon descended in the shape of a unmarked police car slapping him down. Another van load went round the side of the estate and when I walked past just now - bosh! - the old bill were giving it heavy manners in the betting shop.

Elsewhere the junkies continue to really piss off residents with blokes shouting out at 2,3 4am and the fire door off its hinges again.

I just saw that as I walked home and thought I bet its up on urban by the time I get home.

It's bloody tempting at times but we need to get it sorted as a permanent solution. To be fair the planning bods at the council have always been really helpful as has one of our local councillors.

It is on the verge of driving me to full blown alcoholism though (or given me an excuse to drink as much wine as I want depending on your point of view!) ;):D
 
I reckon newly windowless fish shop has new owners. The staff seem to be different and the signage has been removed. Does this mean, she wonders with dread in her heart, that the whole palaver starts over?

Same owner but new tenants apparently so my spies tell me :hmm:

I'm working on the whole palaver not starting again!!

Does that mean the 333 is going down to Stockwell now as well?

On the link I handily provided it says:

"At the same time route 333 will be altered between Brixton and Kennington to go via Stockwell Road, Stockwell Station and Clapham Road.

This creates a new direct link between Brixton Hill and Stockwell."

I just meant, has anyone actually observed this happening in real life yet...
