Brixton chitter chatter, part 2

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Mucking about with our transport infrastructure is one thing but holding out on custard tarts...?

It can only be a good thing for those of us who have high cholesterol

Curiously, although I'm substantially overweight considering the "expert" figures, at the last blood tests I had done, both cholestorol and blood sugar were "normal".

As they are for a friend of mine who weighs 31 stone.

*shrugs* it ain't always about the caek.... delicious moist caek.

Maybe you're overweight with sugary stuff rather than fatty stuff?

You probably don't smoke either, which I do

 

[ajdown]

No, I rarely eat sweets or chocolate in any vast quantities - maybe the odd chocolate bar every couple of weeks but that's about it. It's crisps/pringles etc that are my weakness I know.

Correct, I don't smoke, or drink alcohol either in actual fact.

Just seen 2 guys going for each other with big knives in the car park of Streatham Place McDonalds - was really quite scary. Ended up with one trying to run the other over before they drove off in separate cars, still hurling abuse at each other and waving knives out of their car windows. Police arrived just afterwards...doubt they'll find them though.

I'm sure they could find them if they want to via the car registration plates ... there must be CCTV there?

Yeah I'm sure there is CCTV - I hope they do manage to track them down, cos the knives they had were huge

It looked a right mess when I got a peek inside the other day. so I wouldn't count on it. They have fish tanks in there for some reason.

It's been months and months and it looks like they're making a right pig's ear of it.

Just been past it. They do indeed have fish tanks in there, and what's more, there's fish in them.

Although the green shutters are down, if you peek through the millions of holes, you can see what's happening. I can see there are now two mosaic columns

There's a couple of counters and there's a fish tank to the right when you go in the door.

Stupidly, I didn't look to see how near to completion they were

 

[teuchter]

Is it going to be like those Chinese restaurants where you choose your fish and then they kill it in front of you?

The burnt out shop on the high street is being worked on. Lots of burnt junk and detritus filling skips round the back and lots of thump and bang sounds coming through the wall.

 

[ajdown]

A nice letter through the door today from Steve Reed.

"Residents say NO to controlled parking"

Earlier in the year you may recall the consultation asking us if we wanted to pay an additional over £100 a year for the privilege of being able to park our own cars on the street that we live in.

It seems that the overwhelming majority of local people on Brixton Hill were completely against the expansion of the current scheme.

[teuchter]

How are they being "awesome"?

 

[pboi]

controlling traffic flow, ambulance is looking after the old boy, some are just keeping the traffic and cyclists from jumping the line. the road was gridlocked and now its not. good job imo


did that not meet with your expected cynicism?

I thought maybe they were lifting the car out the way with their bare hands or something.

 

[pboi]

stinks all 'fumey' round it. wouldnt move that if you paid me. its leaking down the road

 

[LadyR]

Damn - got home from work to find my bike's been stolen!

I saw that just as I was leaving earlier. I'm about to head back up the hill home. Am I going to be stuck in traffic all the way?

 

[pboi]

car has just been moved

No. It's going to be a uniquely Brixton version that combines animal welfare and gang violence. You choose your fish and they kill you in front of it.

When the tube station completes its refurb, you'll get yer tarts

I'll have starved to death by then

I've only just realised how serious this post is.

 

[gaijingirl]

The massive nail/hair bar in the arcade is now "healthy living jamaican food" - very flash looking operation with a large fleet of delivery bikes. They only seemed to be doing patties at the moment - which I'm delighted to find out are so healthy....
