Brixton chitter chatter, part 2

[teuchter]

But I had understood that when "batchelor" was qualified by "sophisticated" it had the same meaning as Robin William's epithet "Tall, thin men who like show tunes"

I think you may be getting your "sophisticated batchelors" mixed up with your "sensitive gentlemen".

It seems the 'northbound 159 bustop war' has entered its final phase, with rucking schoolkids all over the road and pavements. It's like D day

Plenty cops now

 

[tarannau]

Ah, bus wars. The happy days of my childhood rucking on the 118

 

[Crispy]

and now the tube's closed!

 

[quimcunx]

Oh FFS! I've been late every morning this week for one reason or another.

(mostly leaving late)

 

[tarannau]

Signal problems at Stockwell apparently. You should leave earlier quim.

Clearly.

 

[Badgers]

Or later

 

[quimcunx]

Or later

Exactly. I can saunter in at 10.30 now with a jaunty ''brixton was shut, innit'.

 

[Badgers]

Get rid of car and blame others!
The system works people and my London meetings usually have a one hour window either side.

 

[ajdown]

Maybe if you concentrated less on the alchies, bible bashers, drunk addicts etc. you'd see the signs

When you're on the bus and passing through, windows all steamed up because people seem allergic to fresh air, crushed in like sardines, you can't see the signs. In fact, if it wasn't for Digital Doris announcing the stops, half the time I wouldn't know where to get off because you can't see anything.

 

[Crispy]

And E&C was down to one lane on the waterloo exit, causing further Traffic Chaos!

Today was a good day to ride the bike

What on earth is that thing parked in the George Canning / Hobgoblin / Hootenanny car park?!

some kind of tank?

Lick the windows.

It claims to be a tyranosaurus but it's more like a stegosaurus.

*considers checking spelling but can't be bothered*

 

[boohoo]

I got a boring one from WH Smiths in Charing Cross in the end.

I have a rather redundant £100 (sale price) diary from work... shall I put it on ebay?

 

[boohoo]

What about hungry sophisticated batchelors? No one ever thinks of them.

do they exist??

 

[quimcunx]

do they exist??

I thought I met one last night. Although, thinking about it now, he could easily have been a sensitive gentleman.

 

[boohoo]

I thought I met one last night. Although, thinking about it now, he could easily have been a sensitive gentleman.

He could have been just one of the performances at Shunt perhaps an art project or an automata.

bachelor FFS.

No t.

sorry, carry on.

you're right... and shockingly it was a spelling mistake from teuchter.

He's let me down. He's let you down. He's let bluey down. Worst of all he's let himself down.

 

[tarannau]

*considers checking spelling but can't be bothered*

Yep. Although I like the touch of the car clamp triangles as the beast's spines. To promote Tyrannosaurus Alan and his band apparently, although there's a touch of the Mutoids about it. Not sure if there's any connection - a few of the MW crew used to drink in there, but I've no idea who Alan the dino is.

Yes. But pencil in a few random events before sending it off.

I can only apologise. I must have been momentarily confused by canned foods.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

he should be banned for a week as punishment

 

[tarannau]

You sir, are a fraud. A gentleman never buys mushy peas in a can.

 

[boohoo]

I can only apologise. I must have been momentarily confused by canned foods.

So you were talking about hungry sophisticated peas?

 

[quimcunx]

He could have been just one of the performances at Shunt perhaps an art project or an automata.

He did look as if he was rather hastily put together by a somewhat foppish, drunk art student who ran out of funds before the project was finished.

Did he come with a lot of wordy supposedly insightful descriptions?
