What type of weird stuff?
She goes on weird internet forum things, and reads stuff there, and talks to internet weirdos online, and all that kind of thing. Apparently.

I hope you don't take the credit if they get there before you do?
Of course I do. It wouldn't be a proper expedition if I didn't.

You know full well I finished tiling last year
The whole year? How did you get the tiles to fit that complicated bit at the end of February?

Didn't you see her "how do I tile the end of February" thread?
About 200 pages as far as I can recall.

Why is Atlantic Road closed off?
Is La Lupa ever open?
What is that new shop on the corner of Dulwich Road and Hurst Street?
Why has the Herne Hill pedestrianisation completely fallen apart...

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
Yeah...I liked how it looked last night. Could be a nice space.
I think la lupa has closed. It looked empty when I peered through the shutters.

Is Negril any good? The punter reviews I've found either say it's dreadful or brilliant.
It's really good. Nice people that work there too.
I send American bands there all the time and they love it.
I like the idea of a place that does BBQ and Ital so everyone from vegans to rib-eaters are happy.

Which one? There's a few of them (Brixton Central Square etc.)
Apparently the lights were switched on recently.
there's a stall - one of the first you come to - on station road. I'm not sure what style of food you'd describe it as, but I suppose you'd describe it as Persian, or pan-Middle Eastern or something. Can't remember what it's called - I think it's actually got a very unpromising name, like 'Sizzles' or something - but it does great soup and all sorts of good stuff. Think I saw lamb khoresht on the menu last time I went past. Surprisingly good food for a stall. It has a few seats too.
For eating in, there's a Moroccan place on Acre Lane now. Keep meaning to check it out. Maybe I'll go there tonight. Feeling hungry now...

Blenheim Gardens is getting cherry trees.I think Brixton needs more cherry trees.
I reckon the world would be a better place with more cherry trees
Only when they're in blossom though

Oh great...aren't they the ones with the pink blossom that falls off and carpets the pavement and then turns into a brownie-pink sludge?
We need something like 100 year old live oaks imported from Mississippi. That'd be aces. I could build a cupola and drink juleps.

ooh you miserable old sod - who could hate cherry blossoms?
there's a couple outside my flat, they're a nuisance when they get on your windscreen
unfortunately the SW2 climate doesn't stretch to this:
ah, Spanish moss
Was that in some grand ceremonial way, or just switched on? I like them, actually. Particularly the way the trees are lit up from underneath, and the little strips of light on the path are interesting. Still think the lamps are ugly though. But the whole thing is so much improved by the grass.
The saltoun road paving is wacky. Are they going to do the whole road like that, I wonder...
Thanks Matt. I'm going to check both of those out. I'd read about the Acre lane one then forgot about it.

I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint
We've been a couple of times to the Moroccan place on Acre Lane as we are 5 mins away. It's called Khamsa and is strictly speaking Algerian I think (at least the peeps that run it are) and no, I don't know what the culinary differences are.
Anyway it's good - well worth a visit. Pretty standard meze starters but more interesting main courses, some of which have been huge hits (real depth of flavour) and others so-so but never bad.
£30 for two plus tip when we were there last, and you can bring you're own with no corkage.

isn't he? Admittedly, wet leaves and cherry blossom do tend to fuck up transport in this country, but I'd rather that than no trees/blossom at all.
There was total chaos in Brixton as I rode through (in a blizzard) about 6.15 last night.
1. They were diverting southbound traffic up Atlantic Road - looked as if there'd been a serious accident opposite Morley's/Woolworth's.
2. A bus had helpfully broken down on Atlantic Road, outside the Portuguese shop.
3. Fire engines were in attendance at a building near the Esso/Tesco garage on Brixton Road.
The whole place had come to a standstill - I was pleased to be on a bike. Anyone know anything more about what happened?

Sign outside what was the Iroko bar "For sale by auction".
The building seems to have been gutted - windows and doors gone, everything that was screwed down inside has gone, and quite a lot of what was from what I can tell. Looks a right wreck like a bomb went off.
