Oh, and Kaff has a new Youngs cask ale on.

 

[Onket]

Thanks for your fish recommendations, folks, but I've just had a few reminders why I've tried to avoid this thread this month so I'm off again.

My inability to read before I post seems to have scared Onket off....

Looks like a hotshot prisoner went through Coldharbour Lane a few days ago:

Why were people boycotting the Queen's Head?

Be a good look at the 414.

Ooh, I've just come across this. It's one of the first pics I ever took in Brixton on a digital camera - it's of the Albert on NYE in 1998.

I'm sure old school Brixtonites will recognise the barman! Note the Poacher ale amongst the long strip of ales.



The camera was a Fuji MX-700 which packed a mighty 1.5MP and had a battery life of about, well, 20 images or so.

Stay! The amateur hour hypocrisy is what keeps on bringing me back. That and I the fact that i appear to speak to buscador & friendofdorothy more on here than I ever get to in the pub.

Back to things to do with Brixton, it's crazily busy on Coldharbour Lane right now.

The Albert has been heaving since around 7pm, and I just passed a veritable battalion of young professionals heading past the Barrier Block.

Is there something special going on around there?

No idea, but I'm on a bus home from town that just disgorged a couple of dozen extra pissed wankers into the throng. Enjoy!

There's now the predictable Coldharbour Lane Kick Off from the aforementioned extra pissed wankers.

Sorry, where was this "active promotion" you speak of? Do explain yourself. And who is this "we" that is making these conclusions?

Favourable article on Brixton's biggest website. And "we" is the readers of this thread.

As if either of the above questions actually needed an answer.

 

[Tricky Skills]

Community Day of Action in Vassall ward on 22 Jan. Met Police would like to know what the priorities should be.

BBuzz piece.

As if your ever-sneery, always-negative, constantly shit-stirring responses to just about everything I write here is ever needed! Get a new hobby. Please!

 

[Rushy]

I think they are being sarcastic about the different nationalities when it is pretty blatantly the same person. Which Rushy in his turn was being sarcastic about

Edit- which has also been pointed out. Fucksake, must read thread before posting

I may be wrong but I think the article was meant in all seriousness but is probably computer generated. "Of particular interest is [insert random and probably inaccurate trawled fact here]."

There appeared to be a lot of Lambeth licensing bods busying themselves along Coldharbour Lane last night.

[Winot]

Can we have a sub-forum?

 

[gabi]

Not sure we need one. This thread pretty much covers it. Massive hypocrisy from senior members who profit from young professionals or even are young professionals, whinging about young professionals. That's pretty much it.
