Brixton chitter chatter, part 2

[pboi]

Cool. Never tried it before, just fancy something different for thoe cold Xmas days!

Tesco are planning to triple their floorspace, according to the Green Party.

There's been a number of threads about this before - including this one:

not sure what the current state of play is - I heard something about building upwards.

 

[newbie]

can anyone recommend a chiropodist locally please. How much do they cost?

The Brixton webcam (http://87.194.32.232:800/cam1.htm) has moved, it was pointing at Boots and the market, it's now pointing at the new bus stop outside Woolworths and Oregano Dealer Corner.

Today is the last day that the Victoria line shuts early. Hurrah!
Apparently, apart from the odd weekend closure next year, there is no need to shut the line down in the evenings again.

there is no need to shut the line down in the evenings again.

Until next time

And there was rejoicing all through the land!

Shouldn't that be rather than

No,there comes a time in your life when you just accept that Brixton will never be finished - whether it's the tube, roadworks, pavements etc. You should have learnt to accept this watching the farce that was the middle escalator and the lift

I got home anad turned a lightbulb on, and it popped. I only have a 40w in the cupboard so I'll have to make do until I can get a proper one next time I go shopping.

Harder and harder to find 'real' lightbulbs these days, and the "low energy" things don't do an equivalent of a 100w bulb yet, or at least I haven't seen one.

winner of most mundane post on U75 ever!

 

[Crispy]

Well you haven't been looking very hard. You want a 20W CFL for comparable output.

You new round here?

Isn't a death (even if it only a lightbulb) notable?

Didn't see them in Sainsburys last time I looked, it's only 15w ones in the bin by the sandwich fridge.

 

[RaverDrew]

I'm pretty sure they have them in poundland.

 

[Crispy]

woolies should do. tesco too.

 

[Kanda]

They're all over the fucking place but shopkeepers hide them from ajdown just to keep him a miserable cunt and try to get him to move out of an area he despises so much

Classic observation!

On several levels.

No, I just haven't needed to buy light bulbs for a while. I had some in stock, and you know how it goes when several blow in the space of a week or 2 and you realise you need to get some ... then you can't find the ones you want.

 

[tarannau]

Nah, you're just looking in the wrong places.

They're in the same aisle as the halal meat section, just past the mp3 playing mobile phone display...

 

[quimcunx]

I can't use them, I discovered after spending a small fortune on them only to watch them blow in seconds.

Something to do with dimmer switches, apparently.

I think you can get special ones that work with dimmer switches these days.

Buy them on the internet. Then you won't even have to leave the house.

Want some juice? *shuffles over on beanbag*

 

[quimcunx]

Um, okay.

This doesn't make us friends. You're still very wrong indeed.

Thank you for the juice.

 

[ajdown]

Need a refill yet? Or a ribena? I think I have some vimto as well.

Quite close to the tofu and the nappies...

The new speed hump on the corner of Leeson & Railton roads isn't high enough to actually slow down cars.

 

[snowy_again]

And no one seems to understand that just cos its a raised bit of road, it doesn't give everyone permission to go first. I've seen three near misses already. Are they going to paint a white give way line on Leeson Road?

Lambeth seem to be determined to fill in more potholes - the craters outside Brixton Cycles are starting to be filled in.
