Was just walking down coldharbour lane by the ritzy...don't know if this is real chatter but I thought the new paving slabs being laid at the moment are very nice. Much higher quality than the concrete ones that TFL have been using everywhere anyway.

All very well, but unless they lay them properly, then people are still going to risk breaking their necks walking round Brixton :D

Pope's road has really nice granite ones going down. Very impressive.

Of course they'll have to be kept clean. Market pavements get messy very quickly and unless they're thoroughly scrubbed they build up that greasy messy patina no matter what the material...
 
They're filming some bad music promo in the foyer of the Academy. I think they will find lots of random gurning faces in the background from people (like me) trying to work out what the racket was.
 
Lots of cheering and car horns in New Park Road. I'm assuming that Portugal have won the football?
 
The pillock that parked outside my house at 3am this morning with the stereo so loud it was making my windows vibrate and stayed there for 15 minutes had better not do it again tonight or there'll be trouble.

You don't live on New Park Road do you? There's always some pillock parked out with a bass-tastic stero blaring out. Drives me crackers :mad:

Doesn't matter what the event, there's no need to make that much noise at 3am in a residential area.

That party out the back had better shut up soon as well, cos I'm tired and I have a headache, and have to be in good condition for tomorrow's jollities. I'm off to bed in a few minutes once I find something to take for the headache. There's a box of Panadol somewhere round here.

Very close to it.

This was a 4x4 with some black occupants in it. I could see it out of the bedroom window.

I can cope with the fireworks for 10 minutes on the stroke of midnight as it wakes me up, even though it seems fairly pointless.

I can sleep through most of the traffic and 'normal' noise, but this idiot's music this morning was so loud it was making my windows vibrate - and I'm sleeping upstairs. Far too much bass and not enough cowbell.

Would the music have been better had the occupants been white? :D

I doubt it. It was 'clubbing' type music... very fast beat. Their ethnicity was only in response to the other comments about a similar situation in my area to see if there was a correlation - ie same idiots.
 
The new central reservation on Brixton road (with no railings) has transformed the feel of it I think.

It feels far more like one high street than a big main road than it did.

I'm astonished to find myself saying 'Hooray for TFL' (assuming it is them). :)
 
It is tfl.

There was loud house music reverberating all round the high street all yesterday afternoon and evening (till about 10pm) but I couldn't pin down the source. It really was loud, you could hear it all the way up by fujiyama and down to the railway bridges

And down in Rattray Rd past the Effra! In a strange way it reminded me of the distant thunk-thunk of Glastonbury - the late night party that you never could find (until you found an ice cream van with three munters and a loud sound system at 5am in the morning.)

That's exactly what I was thinking :D - making my way to a party or something

Was from the roof of Dex, no? I saw people standing up there too.

I was a bit surprised - wonder if they have permission to be doing that?
 
yep, that was dex, they were at it the previous sunday evening too. they must have some sound system up there, it was really crisp, not just the soound traveling.

Can't believe that they would. Flats above shops facing onto the back of there would have got it full in the face.

It was a really good sound though, shame about the music :)
