Brixton chitter chatter, part 2

[Not a Vet]

Got woken up by a huge slanging match that lasted for ever about 4am this morning in central Brixton. Couldn't be arsed to get my sniper rifle out to bring an end to the proceedings

 

[ajdown]

your brixton thread updates are what I live for, aj

Glad to assist.

After all, observations of little things around Brixton which may possibly be of interest to others but don't necessarily deserve a discussion of their own are the point of this thread, are they not?

 

[Crispy]

yes, I suppose so. you manage to bring just the right mix of banality and interest that it needs

I'm eating my porridge


























I nearly choked on it

 

[Crispy]

Well, chew it more then.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Well, chew it more then.

It was your comment that did it

 

[Crispy]

Well chew that more then

Porridge was one thing I recall on the list of products offered at the Iroko Bar breakfast hut this morning.

See, I knew it would start a discussion.

Yes, but can anyone actually confirm whether it's any good. I don't know anyone that's ever been there to eat

Oh how I wish you had! Some feckers kept ringing our door bell last night

Iroko is crap according to the Landlord of The Hand in Hand.

well he would say that

Wouldn't surprise me, I wasn't impressed with their menu personally, but the point is, I still don't know anyone that's ever been there

 

[Kanda]

well he would say that

Why?

Hand doesn't compete at all.

I just know him and his Mrs went one night and weren't impressed.

 

[ajdown]

It does seem quite expensive there from what I've seen of the menu.

and nothing really special about the menu either

How's the lawn, AJ?

How's the lawn, AJ?

In need of a trim really, I was going to do it last night but it started raining as I got home so I didn't bother. I'll see if I can do it tonight.

Bloody bin men from Curry's woke me up at 7am crashing around with their enormo bins.

And Not A Vet, they were doing road works at 10pm outside your house this week. I was shocked.

 

[Foucault's Wife]

Bloody bin men from Curry's woke me up at 7am crashing around with their enormo bins.

They pick up bins from Electric Lane every morning at 6.30am. "This vehicle is reversing, this vehicle is reversing, this vehicle is reversing." We GET it, the vehicle is reversing. And if there is anyone around at that time in the morning in some form of state in which it is possible for them to get run over by a lorry going at 2 mph, then quite frankly I think they deserve it.

Ah, I feel SO much better having got that out.

I posted a similar post ages ago about the binmen doing that in my b/f's block of flats and the racket they make empty the communal bins

And the worst thing is its usually emptying a bottle bin so not only do you get the "This vehicle is reversing" you get the sound of smashing glass . Its not so bad for me as I'm one of those peeps who can get back to sleep but the other half, once he's woken up, he's AWAKE. Oh well at least it means there is always a cup of tea waiting for me when the alarm goes .

Terrific. The old car spares sho on the corner of Coldharbour/Gresham is going to be - yes, you guessed it - another fucking nail bar. Surely they must have hit saturation point on these by now?

What's so bad about nail bars?

How many sodding nailbars does Brixton need?

Yep, we have the big main metal bin that serves 10 properties that has to be dragged out of its housing and emptied and replaced and then all the recycling bins and meanwhile the truck blocks the entrance to any traffic and sits there telling you it's reversing

More, obviously. But what's the harm? People obviously want to get their nails done a lot, they provide employment, everyone's happy?

They're all hiding swine flu under those nails. It ain't healthy

 

[Foucault's Wife]

Ooo we just had a fire alarm at work - not Brixton relaetd at all - but the firemen showed up and we had to stand outside in the pissing rain

This is so amazingly convenient for me
