When I'm DJing I'm always keeping an eye out if I see predatory men hassling young women and inform the bouncers. They usually stand out anyway although there's plenty of young men who are equally happy to take advantage of pissed girls.

I don't think that's always true. I go to a local small venue that has jam sessions and there's plenty of young 'uns who are happy to chat.
Maybe Ed your reputation precedes you as the Tom Jones of U75!

That's deeply offensive and I'm getting very tired of your trolling all over these boards. Take a week off.

....well done for your vigilance, probs not the best thread for it but what are the signs of predators ?
I take your point but as an old git I posted my daughters thoughts as I thought a youthful perspective was interesting, the derail continued because I was being asked about other things related and didn’t want anyone to get upset...

...’someone I know‘ used to get really excited when one of these places opened but quickly realised they are not that great and boring to boot....

With six wings costing just £6, it's looking like they're flogging proper rank factory farmed stuff.

You feeling ok? You've spent the last 117 pages complaining about overpricing, now this. That's confused the fuck out of me

Please consult Rule One of this site.
We’ve just filled our faces at The Great Indian Kitchen, which has taken over the old Brixton Cafe at 21 Tulse Hill.
Still very much a no frills place, but they’re nice people serving enjoyable home-style food. Lots of Keralan and Tamil dishes (dosa, hoppers, etc) plus some Sri Lankan things like watalappam.
Four of us ate well for £50 and v nice it was too. Can’t speak for the non-veg side of the menu, but the veggie stuff was good, as were the desserts - home-made semiya payasam and gajar ka halwa.
Not a romantic joint by any means, and maybe not quite up to Tooting standards, but good to have a South Indian place hereabouts.

I've been meaning to order a dosa from them.

Good to hear about a positive experience. We bought some biriyani a while back and it was terrible and over priced. Sounds like the veggie option is the way to go.

And to level out my earlier praise about the Whiskey Tumbler - I popped in there last Saturday just to show a friend the place. I couldn't order at the bar so a bloke came around and took my order for two Amstels. I had to call him over when I was leaving and was hit with a price tag of £13.39 which is, by any measure, a fucking rip off. And, like a twat, I didn't quibble because I didn't want to make scene in front of the person I was with, but I'll bring it up with the owners the next time I see them.
But the rip offs hadn't stopped there. Still smarting from my wallet-draining pints, I went next door to the Brixton Art Club where two cans of Stella cost me eight fucking quid. I want to support independent ventures, but - ouch.

four big cans of relatively local ( dorset) and fully independent fursty ferret £5 in the co-op, it’s a no brainer

Are they on any of the delivery apps? Their website seems to be non-functional. Im keen to try them for home delivery if they come all the way up here to myatts.

I should have said. It's still on Just Eat as Brixton Cafe. I don't like Just Eat but I want to give the place a chance.

....more chicken than you can shake a stick at....
Tinie Tempah Has Launched A Fried Chicken Service And We Might Pass Out With Excitement
Tinie Tempah is launching an all-new fried chicken service called RAPS, and you'll find it over at Willow on the Roof from March 11, 2022.
secretldn.com
”Those from (confirmed so far) Shoreditch, Hackney, Dalston, Brixton, Camberwell, Queen’s Park and Willesden will also be able order food from RAPS on Deliveroo. Kitchen Ventures, who are also working with Tinie Tempah at Willows on the Roof, will be helping to cook up and deliver the food to peckish Londoners.”

I recall going to a student night in Manchester University Union to see Ken Boothe - who had recently had a hit with "Everything I own"
His costume for Manchester was spectacular Jamaican camp - shining gold/yellow jump suit. Obviously too much to be allowed on Top of the Pops
The concert was poorly attended, which was a shame because the backing group, The Cimarons, were spectacularly good.
I guess we could say that Russell Group Universities in the 1970s were not black-friendly. Actually most of my black friends went to Manchester Poly (now Manchester Metropolitan University).
To get to the point - in these divisive days it is sad how apparently right-on people definine thier tastes by how crap everyone else is.
I've lost count of the times people have told me the Beehive is full of old black men. And the carpet is sticky, not to mention the seats.
Chacun à son goût - but no-one is going to tell me to empty my bank account to avoid black men and sticky carpets.

This was great! And more food than 2 of us could eat was under 25 delivered. Thanks for pointing it out.
