Brixton chitter chatter, part 2

Anyone would think he'd moved in with some kind of BARBARIAN that didn't tell him nuffink about the local area! :D

You would wouldn't you. I expect, in actual fact, he probably just hasn't listened. :rolleyes: Paolo999 is a man isn't he?

quimmie! It's been a bit quiet without you.

I believe Paulo999 is a man. Hmmm, yes, that might explain it. I still heard he lives with some kind of northern savage though...
 
The '45' bus is currently not serving Brixton town centre, being diverted between Brixton Water Lane and Camberwell Green via Herne Hill and Denmark Hill. Something to do with gas main works around Loughborough Junction and Coldharbour Lane being shut because of it.
 
But they have now boarded up the boarded up bit. The boarding is now half way across the bloody pavement :mad:
 
Oh, I meant to say: you know those chairs that are bolted into the ground on the new Windrush Square /empty plaza?

It seems a shame that they are positioned to face out onto the traffic. Why weren't they positioned to face onto the square rather than onto the street? Sjoopid. And annoying.
 
And another thing: I'm a little concerned for the welfare of those trees.

The arrow-shaped hybrid oak ones that are holding onto their dead leaves: does that mean they are indeed dead?

And the whirligig ones with the bamboo strapping: they were left with their roots uncovered all through that cold snap: will they be okay? Does anyone know enough about trees to know the answer to these and other questions?

I could just wait and see, but I thought I'd just chitterchatter about it in the meantime.



And another nother thing: I do hope that, when the time is right, some spring flowering bulbs are planted in the grass. I really enjoyed seeing the crocussesi coming up, and the daffs and bluebells and so forth.

Last week I noticed that someone had written "I love Brixton" on the hoarding. I think that was on the part that has been covered up by the hoarding mk II.

I have been surprised by how white that hoarding has remained, by the way. I'd have thought it would be covered in posters and tags by now. It hasn't even got any of those diagonal batons on it that are to discourage flyposting.
 
They just finished it late last night, teuchter. I doubt that even the most diligent tagger has had a chance to get at it before now. Won't be long though.


ETA Oh, you mean the boarding Mk I. Yes, it was surprisingly tag-free :)
 
I think people are tagging and flyposting but each time they do they'll just keep boarding it up more again until you can flypost Woolies and Natwest at the same time.


:hmm:

I got on it to go to King's College. My friend got on at the Hill to go to brixton and ended up near Poet's Corner :D
 
Anyone else lost their Freeview signal? I'm down by Sudbourne Road. The one time I wanna watch 5 and I can't get a sliver of light from the set.
 
Brixton thread.. *cough*

I consulted a friend who lived in Brixton in the 1980s. He confirmed that back then the whole of the Railton Road side of Herne Hill was known as Brixton.

So I'm claiming part of Herne Hill junction as Brixton. :)
 
Still OK on Hayter Rd.

Cheers Winot. Eventually realised it might have to do with the fact that the upstairs neighbours are having extensive works done on their roof, where of course the antenna is situated..... I'm such a moron at times.
