Brixton news, rumour and general chat - February 2015

[Onket]

Back on topic-

Had a reasonably priced, decent sized breakfast today in the Express Cafe.

 

[cuppa tee]

cafe sausages ?

 

[snowy_again]

I was told about a certain brixton bar which flips £5 tescos sparking wine to £20...

 

[Onket]

cafe sausages ?

Just one.


Two slices of black pudding, though.

Isn't that about standard markup? Or is it that it's Tesco?

I've stopped drinking wine when I go out. I'm too old to pretend to like it so I stick with beer.

That's capitalism

 

[Nanker Phelge]

That's bumholeism...

Yep. Standard mark-up, and a good reason not to drink wine when out. As with cocktails, it costs too much to get drunk.

I'm gonna start a kickstarter campaign to crowdfund my Artispam pop up café in the village.

served with hand crafted chips?

Black pudding is better than sausage on a breakfast. End of.

 

[Orang Utan]

served with hand crafted chips?

Nope, just egg and bacon; egg, sausage and bacon; egg and spam; egg, bacon and spam; egg, bacon, sausage and spam; spam, bacon, sausage and spam; spam, egg, spam, spam, bacon and spam; spam, spam, spam, egg and spam; spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, baked beans, spam, spam, spam and spam; or lobster thermidor aux crevettes, with a mornay sauce garnished with truffle paté, brandy and a fried egg on top and spam.

You forgot to say "Back on topic-".

What's the story with these homes on the corner of Barrington Road/St James's Cres being demolished?

I rather like the crisp, modernist lines of the new Maurice Wohl Clinical Neuroscience Institute building by Kings Hospital.

The institute will be a five-storey building with a total floor space of about 7,600m². The facility will accommodate about 250 clinicians and scientists. It will have space for office facilities and a 100-seat flexible seminar hall. A public court will be located between the James Black Centre and the Weston Education Centre.

The researchers at the institute will focus on establishing the major genetic risk factors for neurodegenerative disorders. They will identify early diagnostic tests and predictive biomarkers of diseases. The next phase of the research will involve development of innovative cellular and animal disease models to speed up drug discovery.

The facility will provide new approach for the people who are affected by all kinds of psychiatric and neurological conditions. It will be a leading European facility for neuroscience research. It will also be a key research facility for developing fast-track and new treatments for patients suffering from diseases such as Alzheimer, Parkinson's, epilepsy and other neurological conditions.

I'd guess they being knocked down...

Ferndale Road is too. Maybe related? I actually most of what happened from out my window. Kids of about 15, knives, bikes, punches. Cops out there now looking over the only evidence that was left (a trainer). The kids were smart enough to pick up most of their shit before running/riding away.

If someone was actually killed I'll let the cops know what i saw.

 

[Rushy]

Maybe some info will prevent a kid getting stabbed next time ?

are you joking? do you have kids growing up around there?

 

[BigMoaner]

...so no one got stabbed this time but cheerio lads, off you go with knife in hand, out into our communities!

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Communities...yeah..

I raised a kid around here. Let's not daydream about communities.

Stabbing is ok. As long as no one is killed. Apparently.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

I got stabbed when I was 4. It hurt a bit.

There's a Berlin Brunch pop up in Salon, Brixton on 22nd Feb. £22/head. It's run by Grub Club.
This one is run by Noemi who is "a proper Berliner who now lives in Brixton. She grazes almost all-day long and if she is not then she is thinking about it!"

I like the idea of this but I'm not sure the reality would match up. Can't wait to go back to Berlin.

I think I'd rather go for the real thing too

Erm.....

views overlooking the hustle and bustle of the market, shabby-chic furniture, scuffed paintwork and the perfect size that allows people to get together, have a great time and mingle to their hearts delight

£20 would get me a Nandos full chicken with two regular sides- that'd feed Mrs B, Kid B and me. Afterwards we would be able stop at the 99p shop for sweets and drinks with the change from Nandos.

I must admit I do have a bit of a problem with 'foodie' places going on about "grazing."
