The ones with dodgy emissions?

They were roaring up and down Barrington Rd last night when I came home.

What else can you expect but "dodgy emissions" when the nickname for thing is a "Boris bus"?

At least back in the '70s and '80s the Road Rats confined their Brixton burn-ups to the Norwood Rd-Denmark Hill-Coldharbour Lane-Effra Rd-Tulse Hill circuit, and their bikes were a sight to see.

Scooter and quadbike fools seem to think that wheelies and riding in groups could be a ticket out of the ghetto. Just like shite rap music. This fantasy has been imported from Philadelphia. You ride around like a knob, film it, put it on youtube, next thing you know you are a Brand with a Manager and endless riches from selling hoodies.

This video seems primarily preoccupied with ladies with large bottoms sitting on motorbikes. I'm missing the comedy bit thus far.

Full circle. I remember getting a 159 on the last day it was a Routemaster ...

So, here's my pub/club round up from last night - Effra Social had a pretty busy crowd, Hootananny was absolutely rammed although some of the reggae acts bordered on karaoke, and JAMM was busy until 5am. A big bank holiday night in Brixton then!

Effra Social was hosting an event for the contestants in a new BBC 2 show called Ultimate Hell Week. Showed first episode live. A rather fit (as in healthy) crowd.

'Babylon' making a rareish appearance on telly at the moment. A lot of it shot around Brixton.
