Brixton news, rumour and general chat - December 2013

[teuchter]

Once again I am happy to take a little burden off the mods' shoulders and start the December thread for them. Hopefully the title does not fall foul of any protocols.

Anyway; December. What about it?

 

[SarfLondoner]

A hectic but enjoyable month awaits.

 

[Onket]

Looking forward to seeing the Mrs Mills Experience later this month. I understand they will be appearing at The Albert on the 20th.

 

[Manter]

No one has bought me an advent calendar so, so far, December sucks

I have not had a mince pie. I have however cracked open the mini stollen and the Lidl Baileys

If p!ssflaps was still here, he may have shared the news that the Dogstar / Molson/Coors beer have rearranged their delivery times after DrayGate...

An unusual number of lively, tan-coated mice larking about on the Tube tracks this morning

 

[Onket]

Any mice with clogs on? On the stair, perhaps?

Not quite sure what the point of posting on that thread was, but I was in a street property in Peckham. Maybe a trial area or something.

 

[boohoo]

Where?

On the stair, I said.

Up at the windmill?

Someone famous was in the Phoenix earlier having an omelette and chips. Can't think of her name. 40s, short hair, possibly a music journalist.

Phoenix are moving on Christmas eve apparently.

Good to see she has chosen the Phoenix over the village. Progress.

She's very down to earth. Flat near here rather than a mansion, friendly etc

Cos they paid Lambeth for a license, I'd expect.

A few times recently I have seen the British actress Elizabeth Berrington in that way. I was sure that that was who you were referring to until I did a google image search of Hayley Ateell to realise it wasn't and then a google text search to discover the name of Elizabeth Berrington.

 

[leanderman]

They are there frequently

 

[friendofdorothy]

They are there very frequently

yes I know - but why is it allowed? Don't remember seeing other business using the space for promotions
