Brixton news, rumour and general chat - June 2014

All the hipsters will go there now.

Nah it's in SE5.

 

[Onket]

I thought they just took over after places were mentioned on here?

Must get a modern day version of a World Cup wallchart fixtures list thing. But later, watching Saturday Kitchen now.

There's one in today's Metro.

I'm just too bloody lazy to go outside and check it out but... there seems to be some kinda hippy-clappy-religious singing going on opposite the Tube - can anyone enlighten me? Doesn't have the sweet, sweet, painfully sharp tones of the Korean Christians who used to perform on an electric keyboard outside KFC on the weekends... wonder if it's connected to the Buddhist Centre on Tunstall Road? But deffo sounds Christian-y... Thanks, Brixton hive-mind!

I resent having to listen to god botherers on the street. Never get how they're allowed to stand there dripping poison into other people's ears - but if I was to stand up there saying 'god is a lie. You Are responsible for your own actions and making the world a better place' I bet I'd get moved on sharpish!

I would find it odd for Brixton to not have people trying to persuade you to share their beliefs - whether it's about politics, gods, or anything else. This is part of Brixton's charm. Please do add to the chorus of persuaders with your "god is a lie".

 

[Chilavert]

Sorry, but I've lost interest already. You do that to me these days. So many more interesting things to be getting on with, and so many more interesting conversations to be had, you see. Happy days!

I hate the Metro. I used to troll the letters page of the Irish version, even long after I had moved over here.

But the headlines on the front cover are enough to put me off.

Its good to see that the music temple in Granville arcade is opening up again.One of few places left in Brixton specializing in reggae.

Simon or Claudia? I'm sort of glad it closed for a while as it saved me money, but now I appear to have a box of stuff for resale. Hopefully Simon's back - he didn't have a good year last year.

Yes, it's a pretty poor paper tbf.

Looks like there's no shortage of people trolling the London version either...

Obvious really. It's a ding-a-ling sling.

 

[gaijingirl]

*hurls*

Obvious really. It's a ding-a-ling sling.

There's a current Ronaldo esque man there on a daily basis in bright red budgie smugglers...

 

[trabuquera]

Obvious really. It's a ding-a-ling sling.

... or a wang boomerang.

whatever you call it, it HURTS MY EYES and makes me wince on behalf of the cismale gender. I don't even dare to ask for a reverse view to solve the mystery of how it's anchored, or TO WHAT. eeeeurgh.

Can you get one that points downwards?

[SarfLondoner]

The shock in those eyes

 

[el-ahrairah]

my mind is actually blown.

someone must be paying them to do that. 'specially the one in the white. he's all shrimpy and hairless with his winky all wrapped up in that stupid thing. he looks like a child whose got tangled in his pants trying to get dressed and is styling it out.

 

[SarfLondoner]

Oh and thanks Maate for modelling that for us all
