Brixton chitter chatter, part 2

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Us proper Brixtonians can't be expected to dally about in that part of the wasteland, reporting back to simple Hillites what they were too unobservant or unable to read.

I mean, I only pass that area once every odd weekend and how comes I've been able to answer questions on Portuguese eateries down there, from the Gallery/Lisboa to blinking Paulo's Decoration Disaster.

Eyes are so wasted on some.

Well I don't go up there as often as you, and I think you'll find I was keeping people updated with Paulo'z. I even know how to spell it correctly

 

[tarannau]

Like pish you were. Check out the Pauloz thread again and see how long it took for you to cotton on what they were upto.


I'm still slightly mystified that I seem to go down Brixton Hill more often than someone who lives there.

I was the one who posted its name (and that took some remembering considering its weird spelling). I was the one who went in there and asked them when they were going to open and reported back here.

I go down the Hill almost every day. I only go up Hill occasionally.

and I reported on Paulo'z dodgy seating

I can confirm that it is still called Lisboa Grill and still has a temporary sign.

good, don't want tarannau accusing me of not taking notice of anything up the Hill

Maybe we're just better at remembering where we live and don't waste time shuttling back and forth on buses until we do remember.

I suspect that if you and Minnie could make your houses giant modified versions of the OK Sushi concept you'd adopt the idea in a heartbeat. Provisions and fripperies would go around your living room on a conveyor belt whilst you inertly sat there, pleased as punch

Some time in 2011 Minnie may actually make a trip out and purchase a new laptop for example...

 

[quimcunx]

That's very much the system I have right now. My laptop gave up at Christmas and I have two sat in my living room at my disposal through no effort on my part whatsoever.

It probably won't be the model i have !

I took a trip out yesterday past Lisboa Grill

As for the laptop, I'm not sure what I want

In fact, I may be going past there today as well as need to go to the barber's but think I'll wait 'til tomorrow, then I can go to chemist at the same time.

 

[tarannau]

I love the fact that a journey literally a few mins away counts as a 'trip out' in Minnie's world. It makes it sound like a message of exploration, an outing from the asylum or a romantic hero going on a walk for their consitution.

Well I was going to go to St Thomas's hospital today but stupid fucking doctor's surgery have fucked up. That's even further than up the Hill

Minnie is the Ranulph Feinnes of Brixton.

 

[teuchter]

In the interests of Science I checked who was the first person to write "paulo'z" on U75, and it was MtM.

True, I went up the Hill yesterday and back down again, AND I also went to the pub.

It's going to be in the book that I'm writing entitled "Minnie's Memorable Adventures in Brixton Hill and Beyond". There will even be pictures as well, and Maps

hah

twirl on it tarannau

 

[tarannau]

Yeah, but that's only because you sent a crack team of huskies and outriders to detail the name on your behalf. You didn't even more from your sofa.

I didn't want to more from my new sofas. They're far too comfortable. Why bother going out in the cold when you've a crack team of huskies.

I'm sending them up to Decorator's Mate next week to get some paint. However, as they've been getting a bit on the lazy side, they'll be dragging me in my sled. Should build them up a bit.

Anyone know what's going on at Iroko? It seems to have been cleared out.

Hopefully shut down. Telegraph was shut down due to the noise from there, not the noise from the Telegraph. Due to complaints from that horrible newish block of flats just next door. Even though the penthouse there has REALLY loud parties (according to AJ)

I've been to a couple of them and they are rather loud. Not really my scene either, although the view is sensational.

Yeah, deffo. Even at the top of Lyham road on ground level you can see all the way to PO Tower and beyond.

Oh, I was going to ask that earlier. I wondered if they'd shut or whether they were just having a refurb. I figured considering they'd spent so much on the place and done a decent job, a refurb would seem unnecessary.

 

[ajdown]

I hadn't noticed anything different there, although I just had a look at their website and it just comes up with a 'cannot display this page'.

So either it's having a refurb too (which seems odd not to have a holding page) or they really have shut down.

I never went in there (as I didn't fancy anything on the menu) but it did all look rather expensive - £6 for a bowl of ice cream, if I remember correctly?

A little while ago, there were bailiff notices all over it one morning, and I believe someone posted here about several mismanagement things, so perhaps it's connected.

Apparently Brixton Bar & Grill is cordened off with police tape. I woke up in the early hours suddenly as I thought I dreamed a gunshot. I hope it was just a dream

I shall buy a copy, and hope someday to humbly follow in your intrepid footsteps.

Currently I am trying to organise an expedition to the corner shop. This means walking uowards of a quarter of a mile, and crossing Brixton Road. So far I have checked that I have all the relevant equipment available.
