There's some great rock and roll coming from the band soundchecking at the Hootenany's.
After Arsenal took a giant leap forward to the FA Cup final i felt it was important to have fifteen minutes on the basketball court, thus ameliorating the weight gaining effects of alcohol. Not for the first time in my life, i was struck by the beauty of the moon.
I call this one; "Almost full moon over Brixton basketball court."

Sorry to hear that but we used a big bowl and called it an asymmetric bob
There ought to be an evil cartoon character called Asymmetric Bob.

I thought it was a condition of insurance of some places and they don't have a choice.
I don't like it either, and always brace myself for refused entry as I approach.
Pink Moon is also an album by Nick Drake, i will attempt to incorporate every track title in the correct order (which i will highlight in bold) in the following body of text;
I first became aware of the phenomenon of a Pink Moon by being avid reader of this thread. Brixton is the Place to Be for me. Brixton Road is always so lively. Which Will always be the case, the tooting of Horns, the hustle and bustle are just things Behind The Sun. I Know there are property Parasites looking for a Free Ride. The Harvest Breed they let loose is reminiscent of the dread i once felt that only came From The Morning.

My moon looks a bit wanky, oval mishaped but kind, yours looks threatening, focused, more beautiful even though it has a moustache.

That's lovely. Homesick. I saw the same moon over Hong Kong a few hours earlier but I know where I'd rather be viewing it from.
I'm up for some basketball when I return to brixton btw. Gonna go play some now but nothing like brockwell park.
Challenge accepted.

when people release online magazines using tools like that it reminds of early 90s attempts at online shopping, where websites made little make believe shopping malls you could go into to find shops.

interesting the "Made in Brixton" concept is the brainchild of production company with the french name toujour......... surely just a coincidence

hopefully not gimboid
the door staff is a licence stipulation at the grosvenor, we go for the non invasive type, we had to send back an idiot once who'd turned up with handcuffs, billy club and all sorts of stupidity; probably watched too many starsky and hutch when young.I think it's bound to happen at some point unfortunatelyWe popped into the Grosvenor last night and they had door staff as well. I can't think of many pubs that don't have them at the weekend now. Albert, Beehive and possibly the Craft Beer place and Kaff?

So I've just discovered that our side gate will no longer open because the council redid the pavement a few weeks ago (while we were on holiday) and it's higher than it was. The roofing guy who's here (hence why I needed to open the gate) reckons the council will have to fix our gate. Anyone know if that's the case?

I don't know. You don't say how it is stopping the gate but sounds like maybe your gate used to open over the pavement, which they are not usually supposed to do. Gates should open over your own property. If it has been like that for ages you may have established a right of some sort. Proving it may be a pain. In any case, I'd be very cautious about inviting council contractors fix anything on my home!

Yes, it opened outwards over the pavement. It was like that when we bought the house more than ten years ago. I have no faith in the council so will probably just get someone to cut a bit off the bottom (it's a wooden gate).

Hardly getting over it.
TBF they only used to say "beyond here be monsters" because Julian Cope lived there.

Andy didn't hold with new-fangled ideas such as there being hairstyles that weren't a flat-top.

It might be fixable in just a couple of minutes with a rasp.... Just going for the easiest options.

I remember going to a barbers with long hair in 1990 or so and asking for a crew cut - the guy didn't know what that was and had to ask his colleague who replied "it's a cross between a skinhead and a flat top" - which were the only two haircuts on the menu I think
