Do you mean bearded, Irish Des?

This is really sad news. I was just thinking over the past few weeks that I had not seen him around Brixton.

Yep. Lung cancer that spread to his brain. A sad loss. He was a Brixton fixture and a fine opener of squats.

Hasn't it always had a ham bar? There was usually one in the window.

Well I guess it's a refurbished one. And my joke still stands.
I never went to the place because my loyalty was with the now gentrified-out-of-Brixton A&C.

Brixton's lost one of its finest. We had the pleasure of working alongside Des down at no.6 and became good friends in the process. He was full of knowledge, wisdom and fire... You'll be truly missed, sleep easy man x

Anyone tried a takeaway fish and chips from that new Hip Hop Chip Shop place? I read a good review of the dine-in side of the operation so I went to the takeaway window with high hopes. I ordered cod and chips but was given plaice. Didn't find out til I got home. And they tried to stiff me on the change twice - I'm sure it wasn't an oversight, they knew what they were doing. It was late on a Saturday so they probably assumed I was drunk and could therefore be thoroughly fucked over. Worst of all was that everything was soaked in fat. I was so hungry I ate the lot but the fat nearly had me heaving later. It was easily the worst fish and chip experience of my entire life. I hope it was just a blip - please somebody tell me how wonderful it was for them. I would love to have good fish and chips on my doorstep.

can't speak (or rap) for the Hip Hop Chip Shop but I was recently impressed by size and value for money of Brixton Rock's portions (on Acre Lane) - decent quality scran as well, good enough to reheat the other half the next day and find it even better.

If you want decent fish & ships, don't waste your money with that fake hip-hop black heroes bullshit (run by Shoreditch estate agents). Get down to Jimmy's Plaice and support a local business that serves fucking ace chips at normal prices. Brixton Rock is supposed to be good too.

Solidarity against neoliberalism!
What has happened to the side of Boots, on Electric Avenue there's a bloody big hole, roughly boarded up ? Either they planning a new window or door or has a lorry just run into it with great force.

That's good news for when the trip to Ken's is a bit too much

Hardly getting over it.
If it was soaked with fat, they're cooking at too low a temperature and not sealing the batter quickly enough. An amateur mistake.

Yeah, but look! There's black hip hop stars graffiti'd on the walls! Those rich estate agents are just so fucking edgy man.

In their own coke-addled fantasies, perhaps. In the real world they're just more money-grubbing no-marks.
It can't be as disappointing or expensive as Olley's can it?
Knights Hill Fish bar is where it's at!!!
.... So in the end we went to the Lounge.
It was alright. My vegi sausages were a bit lumpy due to unmashed beans and chickpeas- I think it was supposed to be 'artisinal'.
Thanks for the suggestion.

I thought you meant this explained the hole in Boots...

I like the Lounge and really respect the couple behind it: they took a massive risk when they first opened up, but I really think they're in need of a reboot/rebrand.
I assume they are "Brixton" though - god forbid they are not?
Anyway - who get to decide this stuff..surely.it should be people born in the area rather than Welsh newb'sie eh?
I hate incomers!

Looking for a spare room for a refugee.
Syrian man who has spent 7 months (!) in the jungle and has crossed. He doesn't speak much English and has been through a lot so it would be great if he could stay here in London close to a large group of friends who have all crossed- they will teach him English for a start! The NASS people will send him somewhere random up north in his own.
Can anyone help? Needs to have an address the home office can send letters to so has to be legit, not a squat or sub let or anything
Pm me if you can
