this thread.
Still nothing over the skies of Herne Hill. Further bulletins as events warrant.
These 'helicopter over brixton at the moment' threads, are some of my favourite parts of Urban.

It's fucking up my TV reception in Electric Avenue right now
You got rabbit ears on your tv?

It's been hovering around the top of Tulse Hill now for most of the morning... it's a blue one - it even went away to re-fuel and then came back again...

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
It hovers over the Tulse Hill estate so often I've stopped hearing it.

I'm wondering how a helicopter would interfere with tv reception, more than, say, a passing car would. I don't think the rotor blades displacing the air, have much effect on the electromagnetic waves. I could be wrong, though.

I can remember concorde flying over used to freak out the TV. I wonder whether it is to do with the sound waves...

Back on, er, Sept 11, we had fighters going overhead just below supersonic speed, and the CNN signal stayed nice and clear.
We have cable, though...

Our reception is shite. Crappy analogue aerial which we can't get to. A dustbin truck or someone with a ridiculously bassy car stereo has the same effect

Yep, same used to happen to us when we lived a few yards away from where you are. Dunno why it seems such a bad spot, cos the reception is perfect just round the corner, but I'd start wearing a tin-foil hat if I were you.
Just incase like.

Weird innit - I have no idea why it's such a bad spot
. Especially as I can see the crystal palace receiver from the front room (if I stand on the sofa and jump a bit )Always best to be prepared though *dons bacofoil*
And right on cue, the chopper is back. 
jinx lol

I totally love this thread. I hope it gets archived at some point.
