Brixton chitter chatter, part 2

[Orang Utan]

i want the other one!

 

[Pip]

i want the other one!

The little fat faced smug one or the middle tabby? The middle tabby has been allocated a home, but if anyone wants to PM me I'll happily give you the woman's email address.

 

[Orang Utan]

i don't mind, they all look cute

i don't think my cat would like it though.

 

[Pip]

Well the offer still stands for anyone else

 

[tufty79]

damn you precarious housing (again)

 

[LadyR]

Have to admit the one on the left would've been my first choice. Wish I could have a pet in my flat!

Apparently yesterdays storm deposited 3 months worth of rainfall in 20 minutes, its no wonder we had flooding.

I've seen these folk in central London in the last few weeks. I think they are doing a traffic survey, did they have little hand held computer thingy's that looked like giant calculators?

They were hanging around in Bloomsbury last week. Old[ish] geezers, hanging around on street corners, fold up chairs, sensible shoes, hiking trousers, all sounds like what I saw last week.

They were at Loughborough Junction this morning, looking at the P5 buses

Luckily the bottom of my jeans soaked up most of it.

bloody hell!
least me windowboxes won't be complaining.
*sudden panic that i'll return to HUGE MOUNDS OF SOIL ALL OVER BRIXTON due to me plants flooding*

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Y'know what, walking through Brixton is shit at the moment. All the building works are a right mess! Makes the place look like a post war bomb site.

 

[pboi]

are they going to dig up outside the church aswell?

 

[ajdown]

I'm sure if they concentrated all their personnel and equipment on actually completing a job at a time, instead of spreading it out over about half a mile, things would actually get finished.

all the new road traffic layout

I had to bail out the water from mine, they were completely flooded . I was worried the water would rot the roots.

I noticed this morning that the Ritzy has a new "whats on" sign.

 

[Orang Utan]

thrilling news

Also, some police cars went up the high street with their sirens on.

We should put up a plaque in your honour for saving us.

which way is up?

Could you be more specific please. How many police cars? What type of sirens? How many police in the cars? Were they speeding? Did it coincide with elevenses?

Is Pip that big?

 

[ajdown]

That religious lot are up the hill protesting about abortions again. Also 2 police cars at market.

Chocolate Box on Dulwich Road seems to be opening again. Although not with the previous people.

 

[ajdown]

The shop on the corner of Ferndale Road appears to be turning into a computer game store. Don't they realise that only rich kids have games consoles? We must defeat this attempt at gentrification!

 

[ajdown]

I noticed this morning that, outside the Iroko Bar at the top of Brixton Hill (by the Telegraph), appears to be a 'breakfast van' on the premises, doing coffee and stuff. I didn't stop to get a good look at the menu as my bus was coming.

 

[Crispy]

your brixton thread updates are what I live for, aj

Poor kids have games consoles too, but the family is generally hassled so much by kids peer pressure they end up getting them on tick and landing themselves in more and more debt.

I saw that last night going past.

Maybe there'll be turf wars over the shop with all the little Brixton gangs
