Brixton chitter chatter, part 2

[Mrs Magpie]

Well, as I still want to meet you, and on good terms, I'll let it go......

My top Brixton Firefighter moment is getting rescued from a lift stuck between floors. This was one of the firefighters who manhandled me out of the lift......

He looks much better in his uniform.

Saracen? Oh you poor thing. That must have been awwwwwful. All those muscles.


Minnie, you really are very naughty.

Minnie, you really are very naughty.

I'm not, I just hadn't read the last post. (Where's that innocent whistling smiley when you need him?)

Oh look, Carve Her Name With Pride is on.

That's very kind of you. It's a lesson to me to always read all the posts.

So how many did it take?







































10?

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Four, but that's because there were two of us in the lift plus two dogs and a weeks shopping.

Oh, I was way off then with my guess of 10

Very good they are. I had 3 firemen in a fire engine come round to mine.

damn.. wish I knew about that.... wouldn't mind 3 firemen round mine at all!

Apply for a free smoke detector. I had firemen come round and inspect b/f's house and install detector and do a safety check

Seconded...

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I'd settle for just one....

 

[gaijingirl]

I'd settle for just one....

I think you've had your share - let the rest of us have some fun...

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Corrected for you

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

I need at least two...

Seriously though, the details are somewhere on this thread here (assuming they're still doing it)

Whereabouts on New Park Road is that? I'm round that way too and can't place where it was. I guess none of that exists any more?

i think that's the side with the hand in hand on it, looking down towards brixton hill.

I think OU's almost right as the caption says "Nos 117 -153 New Park Road, Clapham Park. This row of semi detached houses were demolished as part of a social housing programme and replaced by Arkwright House, Brindley House and Parsons House, c.1960." However, with numbers that high I think it must have been quite a bit past The Hand, possibly over the other side of (what is now) the South Circular.

I have some good news and some bad news about Paulo'z (sic) Way. The (really) bad news is that Paulo is not now planning on taking over The Telegraph. I'm really sad about this as I think the cafe has been a great asset to the local area and his plans to put on live Portuguese music at The Telegraph were great. It's a real shame

The good news is that Paulo'z are now doing cocktails and have a happy hour from 4-7 where it's buy one, get one free. Quimmie tested out the strawberry daiquris which were decorated in the traditional manner

ETA: Oh FFS Flickr have changed format YET AGAIN and I can't work out how to post a bloody image!!!!!!

With her bra?

 

[brix]

With her bra?

She normally decorates daiquiris with her bra?

I know she's Scottish but still...

What???? *whistles innocently*

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Have got a bit obsessed with the Lambeth Archive website recently. New Park Road (my road) looked completely different 55 years ago!

Glad to see it working again.

Here's Paulo'z Way in 1972 disguising itself as a pawnbrokers

[Minnie_the_Minx]

BTW: New Park Road used to be called Bleak Hall Lane

Much nicer than New Park Road

 

[quimcunx]

What???? *whistles innocently*

Why don't you just post your failed flicker code and let someone competent post the pic for you?

(((old people and new technology)))


How long ago was it called Bleak Hall Lane, minnie? That might prove helpful for brix's investigations.

 

[brix]

Look at my location!!!!!

Does anyone know what is going on with the whitewashed sections? Very puzzled, me.

Oh god yeah!

I had to go to the photo from the 'welcome' screen, then click on it again which brings up a new screen. Then you have to click 'all sizes' which takes you back to a screen which used to be like one click away before From there you can copy the image address!!

HTH!

 

[quimcunx]

I'll look at your mum's location.

I think there is still a fading painted sign on the first floor saying "Tuson's Corner"
