Brixton news, rumour and general chat - July 2015

The name changed and a new license application went in, funny enough I was by there today and saw a licensing notice but my bus came so I didnt read it
I also noticed a black shutter down on the mythical boomburger premises

THANK YOU

Obviously I won't go to either of them even if they do materialise, but I get so curious.

Roll on the August thread....

THANK YOU

here is a bit of vid from boomburgers facebook page so you have an idea of what you might be missing

God this thread is fucking boring. I signed up to find out stuff about Brixton.

Any idea what happened to that new place that was supposed to be opening where El Penol was?

Oh, I remember taking a photo of the licence application recently. Let me have a look...

And Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon thought they were traumatised. This is the end.

Do they get a special prize for having "vibrant" in the first sentence?

Haha. Didn't notice that buzzword but overall, the preamble is quite good.

Me neither, is that Paris' brother................?

 

[ViolentPanda]

So I'll make it plain: Anyone continuing to use it as a means to snipe, bait, belittle and attack me will find themselves warned and then banned in accordance with the rules.

Good thing, too.

 

[ViolentPanda]

From what I can see it doesn't look like a supermarket space. Smart glass doors etc.

Could be Waitrose.

 

[SpamMisery]

That would be awesome

 

[madolesance]

Could be Waitrose.

Brixton Cycles?

Ah, but does that mean that Joshy the public schoolboy, who has appropriated his family servant's recipe, will soon be with us, or that his "boomburger" franchise was a load of hot air?

 

[ViolentPanda]

Brixton Cycles?

That would be good and proper, but highly unlikely, sadly.

 

[Angellic]

Could be Waitrose.

I rang the agents. It's going to be offices for the people who run the shared ownership properties.

 

[teuchter]

Who knew that the Boris bikes are maintained in (borderline) Brixton? Just noticed they have a big unit in the lyham rd industrial estate.

So what you're saying is that property agents will have their offices on the ground floor, benefiting from the exhaust fumes-stinking air from the heavy traffic during rush hour?
Pleased to hear it!

I didn't know that but I am seeing an increase in what appears to be 'liberated' bikes around Brixton.

I saw someone on one up by Blenheim Gardens and thought that they must have put a station out this way, but unfortunately not.

Lovely picture.

The view from Crystal Palace at night is all the red lights on top of the many cranes up in London.

Anyone hear about Theresa May's visit to Brixton the other day? It might have been organised by Operation Black Vote.

No - but OBV had the Labour mayoral hopefuls at the Town Hall on Saturday.
What would Theresa May be checking out? Deaths in police custody possibly?

 

[shygirl]

Yes, just went on OBV site, it was they who organised it. Only scanned it, but about deaths in custody, policing by consent, community confidence, etc. Wish I'd known about it.

Two new beggars on the Station Road patch this evening; one looking very smart in a brown needlecord jacket, the second in goretex and suede loafers. No sign of the regulars.

Has it come to a point where even our beggars are being displaced by gentrification?

 

[Nanker Phelge]

I hate posh beggars.
