I wonder how much gets taken then ends up for sale in Loot or something for a tenner? Could be quite a nice little earner if you don't mind the hassle that goes with it...

tomorrow, i'm gonna put out a couple of antique goodmans speaker cabinets - the connects will need tinkering with on at least one of them, but they are pretty solid and may actually be good speakers (they're nearly 40 years old but they were built to last). if anyone's interested, let me know.
If someone can be bothered to do what I can't with my cast offs, they deserve the pounds they'll get for them. Couldn't give less of a fuck if I tried.

Is it currently closed and undergoing a refurb or is it still open?

No, it's open at the moment, and looking much smarter outside. No change inside at the moment, but the Thursday Quiz is still on. He's planning on putting new WCs in the Basement and re-furbing the rear and upstairs, with flats above.

Excellent. May have to come and visit to inspect the refurb and whip all your asses in the quiz soon

I walked past just after it happened. Didn't see anything, but it's never nice to see blood on the floor. Luckily, there wasn't a huge amount of blood which makes me think the person should be ok - hopefully. Fucking cunts though - right outside the tube on a busy high street on a Friday night. WTF.

I saw that this morning too. Kind of grey and green. Much as I love that pub, it definitely needed a lick of paint. There was a posse of builders/decorators inside at about 9am, so I assume they're doing the inside too.

Hm. When I was walking on the other side of the road about 7.15ish some girl was screaming and everyone looking to see. There were a few people running about but it looked like they were arsing around. For instance I saw one guy run up past Iceland and seem to empty his hands of nothing while a girl chased after him and caught his shoulder. Then he walked back towards the tube with her beside him. So it was more like friends messing. That's what I thought and others around me seemed to think the same. Guess it wasn't.

Maybe she was a plainclothes cop?

Is he gonna live in the flat(s)? Or sell them? Who'd want to live above a working pub? (Apart from me of course
)

x 1000Bound to be on CCTV though. Slap bang in the middle of the high street. Right outside the tube.

I've just looked on Google maps. Four cameras outside the tube. One either side of the entrance/exit and one each side of Starfucks

i hope the resolution is good enough. I'm worried that it's not though. We're constantly told that CCTV makes us safer; it doesn't - but it does mean criminals are more likely to be caught after the event. However, if the cameras are shit, there's little chance.

Yeah, when you see footage from inside the tube on the platforms etc. the picture's aren't normally that great but what they're like outside, I've no idea.

Apparently, the new quizmaster is really, really dire. From some friends who went I think the week before last (old EPT quiz fans).
Fingers crossed it'll pick up.
Pub was looking much busier than normal last night.

There were loads of sirens this morning - and buses on diversion via Clapham, so I suspect there's been a new incident
Apparently, a police car (the ones with guns) responding to a call at high speed crashed with a car on Brixton Road/Stockwell Rd. The police car was a write off. Not sure what happened to the occupants of the two cars. The guy in JF Grocers said that a pedestrian was hit by the police car. I was woken up at 6 ish by two officers cordoning off part of Gresham Rd. A police woman told a driver that there had been a murder, but that's not the case. I think there might have been another stabbing near the police station last night.
There's a lot of madness at the moment between different groups/gangs.
