Brixton chitter chatter, part 2

[tarannau]

oh yeh, Tulse hill is well posh innit.

do you class the posh end as the one that isnt local authority? people rent/buy them? how posh

At the risk of digressing, what the hell does the penultimate sentence here mean then?


Anyway Gary Bushell was spotted in the Hootenanny on Thursday, playing with his band (perhaps Trevhagl as there). One local greeted him with a cheery 'what's a bigot like you doing in a pub like this?'

 

[Nanker Phelge]

it is a running joke on this board that the end where I live is the 'posh' end, when its really not! all of the banter before was just that...banter!

Some of us poor people are very senitive!

 

[pboi]

[pboi]

So you're the mysterious prowling beast that has been devouring the local squirrel population.

I hear the helicopter at the top of the hill again. Bit early tonight.

 

[Jonti]

Brockwell gate at one end has local authority you asswipe.

..but I sure as hell dont detract from the area.

You sure as hell do.

According to the South London Press, work on the controversial Herne Hill junction is due to commence next month as is the next phase of the Brixton central square redevelopment. I've just checked TFL's website but it has no updates as yet (central square part).

Well poor is poor and you've got to eat so you can get to work serving the the Masters on the upper estate

Did they mention if they were considering finishing the last phase any time?

pboi. The flats at the other end of the estate from you are NOT local authority.

Some are housing association, but most are shared ownership.

Get it right or I'll come and nail a squirrel to you door

 

[bluestreak]

God pboi, you're dull.

 

[brix]

God pboi, you're dull.

Yup.

None left after the weekend...I've eaten 'em all.

Got some bones left and a few skins leftover.

Was gonna make a pair of squirrel skin pants, and use the bones to make a stock.

 

[pboi]

come hither peon, bring me my pheasant soup!!



wait....that aint pheasant

 

[pboi]

housing association is local authority in my eyes. sorry for being wrong

 

[snowy_again]

Right, back to normal here then...

Does anyone know what the building work at the adventure playground on Railton Road is all about? Big heavy machinery and a 'Works Access' sign causing all sorts of chaos yesterday morning. They seem to be building some sort of wooden frame, and the old playground equipment is being demolished.

And Mr Biggs Wedding Shop now sells and diverse range of DIY and home improvement goods.

 

[tufty79]

i LOVE mr bigg's wedding shop
i want to buy a hacksaw from there for me impending nuptuals - i'm half tempted to D-lock meself to me wife and see if she can escape

 

[tufty79]

and i don't know what's going on with the playground work, but i'm half remembering that they *might* have had an ariel glide in there - if that's being rebuilt, i'm breaking in and having a go

 

[Crispy]

I have never seen a child in that playground

 

[tufty79]

ditto

 

[snowy_again]

Ah, see I have and used to occasionally speak to the people who run it (on and off) in the summer. They were always talking about redevelopment, saying that they had troubles letting kids on the equipment as it was old, rickety and splinter-tastic.

But the builders look like commercial (property) types rather than the slightly more hippy playground refurbishment types (learning through landscapes etc.).

I wish I'd taken a photo of that forlorn pool table sat out in the rain.

 

[tufty79]

i noticed that table for the first time on wednesday - it's gone now?

and :s about the current builders in there..

 

[snowy_again]

They're using the bit at the closest end towards Brixton to chuck the uprooted play equipment, but I was on the bike this morning, so the lorries obscured my view.

There's a ton of police in and around the Barrier Block right now, plus a helicopter above. There's something going on on the roof.
