The guy in the blue jacket doesn't seem so sure!

Look on the plus side. You're instantly much less pretentious.

Nice one, gloating at people's misfortune.

Nasty

Had a great night at the Joiners last night.

A grand night out: Misty Miller album launch, Flameproof Moth and Midnight Barbers at the Camberwell Joiners Arms

Two important bits of news:
The infelicitously-named "BXT Frat House" appears to have opened its wide and welcoming doors at last.
And the Town Hall clock now shows a permanent midnight of the soul rather than a tempting 5pm. Is there honey, still, for tea?

I confusingly heard the bell chime 9am the other morning, when the face was saying 7am.

Definitely not two minutes to midnight?

Really? Could you PM me details please? I'm more annoyed with myself for losing them as I don't buy expensive things for myself usually (the frames were actually half price) and the only glasses I like to wear and I do look after my shit. I can't even blame beng pissed cos I don't drink anymore. Anyway, there are worse things going on in the world!

My Mrs bought prescription Ray bans online from Designer Glasses Boutique - Buy Glasses Online - Prescription Glasses - Designer Glasses Boutique - Buy Glasses Online - Prescription Glasses if it's any help.

Decent prices and they didn't grumble when she sent her frames back and just swapped the lenses over to the other frames she chose.

This is really important work. I worked with sex working women in Stretham about 10 years ago, glad to hear these services are still running.

Yes and why have they left the lights on the clockface on?
Don't they know its austerity time and they need to save rate payers money

 

[leanderman]

Good news: Brixton-based London Beer Lab is starting a delivery service (Deliveroo). They stock their own stuff and many other beers

I hope you're not suggesting that the lights are on but nobody's home at the Town Hall.

I saw you but you were in photog mode!

 

[Maharani]

It was nice to see that the public waiting for buses weren't being impatient with the march. If imagine the majority would support the cause anyway.

 

[editor]

This bus was pretty much roundly ignored by one and all.

I left the march when it got to Coldharbour Lane - was nap time.

Helen Hayes and some Labour party canvassers were out on Loughbrorough Park. Gave me rage - out trying to get votes when half of Lambeth were a couple of streets away protesting about their party's policy.

 

[T & P]

Just saw the Buzz piece. That looks like a great turnout! Well done to all concerned

Great to see so many young kids active and so vociferous in their support for libraries.

 

[Lizzy Mac]

I was working and feel very anxious that I missed it all.

Yeah, good news for white, middle class piss head indolent Tories that can indulge in their addiction at the expense of the "self employed", working class rats.

You are living the dream.

 

[50yrsInBrixton]

I was accused of faking bereavement not once but twice by a group of bullies on this Board.
I cannot have a sense of closure until those accusations have been properly dismissed by this Board

 

[50yrsInBrixton]

When will you speak out? When will you break ranks?
Will you ever be free?
It's a very white lower middle class demographic that post here and you destroyed Brixton.
