Brixton news, rumour and general chat - February 2014

[Winot]

You had me down as middle-class. I'd dispute that, but fuck it, what's the point.

I'm more concerned that I've been outed as one of the frequent posters on this thread tbh.

Anyway, can't stick around - off to do my Ocado order.

Some pretty simple things that people mention about themselves over time, such as the kind of work they do (or simple statement of the fact that they are from the offending class) makes it easy to make a positive MC guess in many cases.

Of course some of my guesses may have been wrong, or in dispute according to your favoured class definitions. I'm fairly sure that if I mis-accused anyone of being middle class they would have let me know, especially if in some way they were dreadfully offended by it, and if they requested evidence then I would either supply it or retract my accusation.

You and Violentpanda however are accusing me of something rather more unpleasant than being "middle class" and something that I would have some responsibility to alter if it were true. You are doing that and then refusing to back it up with any demonstration as to why it might be true. Life's too short, you say.

It was you teuchter that suggested that i might like to see a genocide conducted against the middle class. Now that is a deeply unpleasant way to traduce a posters character.

Um, I don't think teuchter *really* thought you were intending to slaughter all Brixton's middle classes you know.

 

[Manter]

Hey don't worry. they let any old riff raff in.... I'm in! Just wating for confirmation of the dates I put forward. V excited! It will be another prison to add to the list - Wandsworth and Holloway done and dusted (in a professional capacity, I hasten to add....)

if I don't get in I am going to be even more paranoid now...

The only threat Dexter has made against me is to smash my balls all over the tennis court

 

[SarfLondoner]

what's interesting is that most of his' not sures' are working class people - at least, those i've met anyway. i suspect that he finds it hard to be sure because those posters are articulate and literate, thus confusing the middle class poster as to their origins - they're not the semi-literate numbskulls the WC are meant to be, but are clearly also not one of us... hence, confusion.

Very true , Im down as one of the "not sure's" which kind of tells me he hasn't thought this through properly.

pah! I have a standing date with ViolentPanda for him to come after me with a pitchfork

e2a or was it a flaming torch? I forget

Well if nothing else that would solve Honest Burgers' endemic queues.

 

[Onket]

That's my point, there's nothing to lose because teuchter's not a poster I can take even half-way seriously anymore. If there is a serious point there it's hidden behind so many layers of smugness that I've lost interest.

You don't think his post was just a bit of fun? Isn't that completely clear from the wording used?

Some people on this thread really are so po-faced, it's amazing.

 

[teuchter]

Clearly the quality of Teuchter's super duper Brixton chitter-chattering classes class analysis has failed to meet the expectations of some readers.

There could be a middle class genocide app which contacted you when it was your turn to be slaughtered. That way you could relax with cocktails in Seven while you were waiting.

That's the perennial excuse isn't it - whenever someone disagrees it's always "oh you're so po-faced, can't take a joke, lighten up".

You seldom disappoint me, you post right down to my evidence-based expectations of you.

<snip> there must be a way us parasites could monetize that...

Pay rough sleepers to queue for you - it's been done elsewhere. More health conscious customers might also choose to pay that person to eat most of the burger etc for them - sin eaters 21st century style.

Edited to add - a fiver per half hour (or part of half hour) wouldn't be an excessive amount for the convenience of somebody who's well paid.

If I posted the same content, then it would have got a few more chuckles.

What in this case do you feel is the offensive statement that is being dismissed as having been intended as a joke?

Is it you being classified as middle class, or Dexter Deadwood being classified as genocidal?

 

[teuchter]

That's a disgusting attitude. And don't try and pretend it wasn't meant seriously.

Nah, not biting.

Can you stop trolling now please? It's just becoming dull and disruptive.

 

[Brixton Hatter]

great work all concerned today

i'm off back to my cave to eat some coal

 

[boohoo]

I went to Waitrose today and got half price sausages.

 

[friendofdorothy]

Fed up of all the tetchiness on here.

Any odd bods going the Albert this week? Hope to drop in for a pint tomorrow afternoon, after shopping around the market (Noors not the Village before you ask). I 'll be the one with the Lidl bags and the trolley.

And you still gave me a sound thrashing even with Badgers up my end.

Thread humour now safely back within pre-established cliches. Thank goodness for that.

I'll be dropping in on Wednesday night before heading on to the Queen's for the finest reggae night in Brixton.
