I've been accepted to go to the Clink restaurant so my paranoia has abated a bit :)

editor- have emailed them to ask about Buzz write up- there is a thing on their t&cs saying I have to get permission before attending if I want to write it up in any print or online media

Please explain why you're disrupting this thread with bizarre, off topic claims because it's becoming really tiresome. What the fuck is this "Eeyore" thing you're going on about and what has it to do with me or Brixton?

You want me explain?!

Ok, seeing as you've got such a selective memory. You, and others (including other mods) regularly used to call a certain poster "eeyore".

Seeing as you claim to know nothing about this popular character, here is a link- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eeyore

This used to sometimes simply be an 'amusing' picture of the character, other times a description of it.

I am posting about it on this thread because the issue has arisen on this thread. If you ask any more questions then they will be answered on this thread, as that is generally how questions and answers are presented.

it is therefore not 'bizarre', nor a 'disruption', nor 'off topic'. :)

Ker-ching!

A decent troll never admits that's what they are up to, even under pressure, but you couldn't keep it up.

Now that it's in the open, I await editor telling you off for disruptive trolling. I wonder if he'll unlike your previous posts too.

Exactly where have I "regularly" called a certain poster "eeyore"?

Please post up some examples please because I'm getting fed up with this disruptive and frankly weird nonsense that appears to have absolutely nothing to do with this thread or me.
 
As has been posted up by AKA pseudonym there will be protest tonight outside Brixton Police station. Posted this up on Brixton noticeboard. Worth posting here:

One of our activists met a homeless person on a Unite Community stall recently. She described her experience as follows

I met a guy coming out of Lambeth Housing office today who had nowhere to sleep tonight and the Council had said there was nothing they could do for him because he is 25 and has no children so is not ‘vulnerable’. They gave him a number for the safer streets team but he had no credit to phone the 0207 number… so i rang for him and this is roughly what they told me – “get him to ring us when he knows where he is going to be sleeping tonight and we will try get to him in the morning. And then he can tell us where he is sleeping the next night and we’ll try to get to him again. Then we’ll see if we can find him somewhere”. So i say “you can’t be serious. He doesn’t want to sleep on the street he needs a hostel”. They say “very sorry that’s how it is”. So when somebody says to you that people are ‘choosing’ to sleep on the streets tell them it is bullshit. You HAVE to sleep on the streets or they won’t help you. That is the OFFICIAL POLICY

All the more reason to come to our protest against the criminalisation of homelessness tomorrow

Would be better if you quoted all of my post rather than selectively posting parts of it. :)

Just answer the fucking question and stop acting like a pointlessly disruptive dick.

Where did I "regularly" used to call a certain poster "eeyore" as you claimed, and then, when you've produced those multiple links, you can go on to explain what this has to do with this thread about Brixton.

Ah, the ignorant assumption that I was trolling the thread, rather than teasing a tosser!

Update: Lambeth suddenly now admits felling the trees because 'roots were loosened by heavy rain'

They want £450 to replace each one.

What a racket!

Report them for racketeering. :mad:

This is slightly less disturbing than actual theft. I don't like the idea of trees being the new copper wiring. You can't just get the insurance to replace a mature tree.

Tell them you want a discount for whatever they sold the timber for.
 
I gave the Phoenix another go. It really is pricey these days and the chip portion was noticeably smaller too. And I hate these stupid mugs with pointless saucers!

Is the coffee any better?

I've never gone for their coffee - I used to prefer to go to Federation before that hipstered-out (and the coffee got worse), so I usually retire to Kaff for a reasonable cup of coffee, or if I want a really, really good brew, walk down to Loughborough Junction.
 
I really don't want to fan the flames of, or get involved with, any 'gentrification' debate but....................I've got a spare ticket for tonight's recording of Radio 4's Jay Rayner's Kitchen Cabinet in Brixton.
If anyone's interested drop me a PM. I'll mail the ticket for printing, or I could meet at the venue with a hard copy.

Admission is from 6.30, but it would be best to get there a bit early to make sure you can get in. They always give out far more tickets than there are seats, to make sure they get a full house (80% of ticket-holders typically don't turn up), so late-comers may not get in.

Venue: Brixton Community Base, Brixton St Vincent’s Community Centre
Address: Talma Road, Brixton SW2 1AS
Admission on site from: 6.30pm
Recording starts: 7.30pm
Bar available: Yes
 
Walking through Rushcroft Square i spotted someone i spoke to at the Thatcher death party last year. I decided to stop and say hello because i thought the vox pop she did was the best of the bunch and i was in the same vox pop collage. We had a lovely chat, reminiscing about that community party.

Anyway i mentioned Urban as a good source for local information and her eyes lit up. "Who are you then or don't you want to say?" she asked.
"I'm Dexter Deadwood, lol."
"I'm friendofdorothy , lol."

Made my day that did, it was a pleasure to meet you.

really? There is a whole essay's worth of information on the use of the term eeyore to describe a certain poster (and a few others get called the same name). In fact I could give a brief overview of it but I don't want to stir up the shit. There are people far better qualified at doing this around these parts.

To clarify - I searched Editor's posts for usage of the term Eeyore and came up with nada.

No need for swearing.

I didn't say you alone specifically "regularly" were doing it. Go back and check my post.

Already answered your other point.

It's already been explained that it was also pics and it was never claimed that it was just him.

Don't let that get in the way of your brown-nosing, though. ;)

Here's your words. They're very clear.
You, and others (including other mods) regularly used to call a certain poster "eeyore". This used to sometimes simply be an amusing picture of the character, other times a description of it.

Please back this up with some examples now please.
