Brixton chitter chatter, part 2

[twistedAM]

Brixton is trending on twitter. Was initially down to people talking about The National shows at the Academy but it's getting a boost from people wondering why the fuck Brixton is trending. I thought it was some big news incident at first

What's trending on twitter mean?

You really don't need to know, Minnie. Trust me. BTW I can report back to say that the selection of men's winter coats in Brixton is bloody woeful. This means I'll have to root around in town tomorrow. Fuck sake.

 

[Biddlybee]

Is it snowing there?

The selection of clothes for men has always been downright tragic. Are you only just discovering that?

I was so sure you'd ask that I was thinking of sending a PM in advance. It means it's one of the ten most popular things that Londoners are talking about right now. It's primarily to do with a big gig at the Academy but everyone else is piling in with their events as it means they're more likely to get read.

If I had the money I'd buy you an iPhone for Xmas.

Minnie - Sadly yes. FUUUUUU. I could do without wandering around Soho/Covent Garden tomorrow afternoon.

I was wearing thermals under jeans on the bus this morning. Somehow I managed to give someone an electric shock.

 

[gabi]

[TruXta]

Khamsa on Acre Lane if you fancy Algerian (much the same as Moroccan I've heard). BYO, and apparently they've got the best puds.

ah, well I'm going to Blenheim Gardens sorting ofice and I don't mind giving them a shock, although not a single one of my packages has gone missing this year. I put that down to having already bought them all before the rush.

BLENHEIM GARDENS SORTING OFFICE NEWS

Don't go there, see the door is bricked up and stand there confused wondering if you imagined there used to be a door there. They have moved it further down, and it's much bigger so no standing in the freezing cold in a long queue stretching round the corner

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Demand some freebies as recompense when they reopen, stating that you've publicised then widely

 

[gabi]

U shouldn't need to wait at the visa office orang. Go to the one in Victoria and it's painless.
