Brixton chitter chatter, part 2

[snowy_again]

Looks like my little campaign to put speed bumps on Dulwich & Railton roads has been successful! Clearly they were scared about the thousands of people I was going to recruit to my cause.

I'm not sure how successful they are though. The ones on Railton Road seem to encourage people to speed up once they get beyond Shakespeare Road (going towards HH) as if to make up for the 'lost' time. Time will tell I guess.

Yup - there's a definite need for at least one more - ideally by either Regent road or the Hamilton supermarket.

Talking of which, how long is it taking them to finish those flats above the Hamilton supermarket, that's been going on for ages.

Oh and the Sam the Wheels exhibition is launched this Wednesday at the 198 Gallery: http://www.samthewheels.co.uk/ I had a quick wander round last week, but didn't have enough time to watch all the footage.

Hamilton - I'm beginning to wonder if they're going to build on the end of Mumford road just by it - it's being kept free of rubbish by a big block of concrete, and there's a new sign to do with it belonging to developers.

There's an event on the 28th Jan at the 198 in the evening for the Sam the Wheels exhibition - I'm going along with Mrs Bob to meet some neighbours.

Sam on the Sofa as they described it the other night!

I have no onions. This has totally ruined my dinner plans.

 

[ajdown]

I always keep a bag of frozen ready-diced onion from Iceland in the freezer for such emergency purposes.

Surely there's a World of Onions, or Vegetables-r-Us near you still open?

 

[Orang Utan]

Surely just keep in the RH lane going south under the railways and peel off at the crossing, then walk it over past bodyshop when the green man's on? That's what I do.

Thinking on this further and I'm a bit confused - you stay in the right hand lane on Brixton Road?
How do you get to the left hand lane to peel off then walk across the crossing?

There is a tesco 5 mins up the hill. But it's cold out there.

 

[pboi]

baby its cold out there

Three minutes if you jog it

 

[Orang Utan]

It's not cold out there, but it's a bit wet

 

[Missez]

It's cold and wet out there. And I'm in my pyjamas anyway.

I'm making chilli without onions now.

 

[Orang Utan]

It's way warmer today than last week - didn't need a jumper or gloves today

Do you like being outside in the cold and wet?

 

[Orang Utan]

Do you like being outside in the cold and wet?

No, but if onions need to be got, they need to be got. And it really ain't cold out there, I assure you.

 

[Missez]

No, but if onions need to be got, they need to be got. And it really ain't cold out there, I assure you.

Well if you're popping out, can you get me some onions while you're there?

 

[Orang Utan]

I've just been out - you'll have to get your own

 

[Missez]

I made the chilli without onions anyway.

 

[ajdown]

Otherwise crap and uneventful journey home on the bus slightly brightened for a minute or two by some steel drums being played outside Iceland at the bottom of the hill, for no obvious reason.

 

[Missez]

My internet has only just come back on after being down for hours and hours and hours. It was horrible. Even worse than the onion disaster.

 

[Missez]

Dammit! I just found an onion behind the kettle. It had been there all along.

Maybe your internet was back there too - did you check?

 

[twistedAM]

www.theonion.com - there when you need it

 

[Bob]

There are some large 'Lambeth in bloom' flowerpots that have arrived outside the Ritzy.

 

[ajdown]

I give it 3 hours before they're full of empty beer cans and cigarette ends, and at least one person has pissed in them.

 

[snowy_again]

I'm sure you can behave better than that AJ.

busking. I added a little to their total, because almost everyone going past developed a little bounce & smile. Pans are good, most seem to respond well to them- I even saw some doing christmas carols on Oxford St and didn't come over all homicidal.
