I like this new honest and moody number from local punky singer/songwriter Misty Miller:

Fucking hell, used to go there when the guvnor was a VERY big ex wrestler, it was around the time of the new cross arson fire, so maybe late 70s early 80s

I've got an old video of Kenny Everett "wrestling" him.
Not on Youtube - maybe I should try and put it up?

PS some guy was showing Charlie Hebdo round in the Beehive on Tuesday. Was that you?

WILL THE METRIC SYSTEM KILL BRITISH JUSTICE?
The terror level was raised to beige today after MI5 said that they certainly had vague yet specific intelligence about a probable certain threat that might or might not occur or not occur under certain circumstances on British soil or abroad perhaps unless another thing that might be a threat if it were to happen which it might or might not but it definitely might.

The terror plot probably involved coloureds who rumours have emerged have been involved in plotting the overthrow both of the British state and our way of life since 1978.

Lala from the teletubbies speaking from a hotel in Barbados said, "I blame all of this on stealth taxes and permissive education in the 1960s.".

What's tedious is enduring repetitive lectures about what we already know from someone who criticises £70 food tours and people with large kitchens whilst simultaneously posting on other threads about their £400 camera. And before the "disruptive personal dig" algorithm kicks in, perhaps you'd like to review the content of post no. 657.

it's all inter-linked, no? i would think this website has done more than most to indirectly drive up house prices, and attract swanky businesses. sling "brixton" into google and people will be attracted by the good shit that is going on advertised on this site.

I'm in the Ten Bells in whitechapel waiting for the missus who works hereabouts to show up. It's a pile of wank

Used to live near it - was OK until done up.

I remember it as a great pub. Another one bites the dust. It needs Brian from the Canterbury to question, in his unique way, some of the sartorial choices

Funny thing is I used to regularly get emails from people complaining that my photos were showing Brixton off in a "bad light" or "focusing on the bad stuff."

Maybe that's what drove all those house prices up. Still, if you want to blame me, you go right ahead.

Shame it's by those sexist, cod-punk posturin' capitalist pigdogs Brewdog.

New guest beer in the Albert

.........anyone know what inspired them to use Brixton in the name...........
their florid beer blurb gives no clues

"The bastard lovechild of the industrial revolution; an 18th Century London original. Updated.

This dark handsome brute has flavour and then some. This is beer back ordered. Beer like it was. Beer like it should be. Beer like it will be.

Immerse yourself in initial chocolate and coffee hit as the encapsulating roastiness takes hold. This renaissance beer is oak aged for complexity which adds rich vanilla into the mix before the dark fruits drill your senses into an orgy of untold pleasures.

Brixton Porter is a dark liquid voyage of discovery. A seafaring dog with beguiling tales to tell.

Surrender to the dark side"

I think you will find plenty of other threads for your education.

Q1 is it drinkable?
Q2 Will I need a loan to get drunk on it?

 

[passivejoe]

Once again you're attempting to turn the argument into a personal one. Whether I own a camera for work is utterly irrelevant to the debate about deprivation in Brixton.

Your constant personal attacks add nothing to the debate and are purely designed to provoke a reaction and disrupt threads. I'm utterly fed up with them. Stop now, please.

And yet your article is little more than a personal attack... designed to provoke a reaction. Otherwise why mention the kitchen? Its not in the least bit relevant to her guided tour.

Is it odd to relate the industrial revolution to 'orgy of untold pleasures'?
I associate it more with exploitation, child labour, 12 hour work days, terrible urban overcrowding and my ancestors working down tin mines.
and Brixton with '... A seafaring dog' Weird. I like porter but this florid sales pitch is putting me off it already.
