Brixton news, rumour and general chat - June 2014

[Badgers]

So you are standing there brandishing a hammer and they ask if you are a vet.

It was a bit unusual and a tad awkward

"a £450 “Henry” gym bag — as owned by Harry Styles"

Made from "mole textured nylon"

that bag has truly found it's spiritual home in a place with a branding as bogus as it's own

Who or what is Harry styles?

Were you wearing a long white coat and a surgical mask?

Looks like you could fit more than a Henry in there.

So that really happened? The blood spatters up your arms and all over your face looked a little fake so I thought you were just making an elaborate excuse for being late

It did happen, strange as it sounds
I was late because of my hangover, lack of cycling fitness and appalling hangover

I'd imagine that it is sensibly in case someone steps on them. I'm not normally a fan of little dogs, but whilst "playing tennis" this morning a lady walked past with the most infeasibly small dog. It was so small that it was hidden in the well kept grass it was running and could have climbed through the chicken wire of the tennis court fence. Yet it was uber confident and friendly. And best of all - it did not yip a single yap. Like.

Did your hangover have anything to do with it?

It accounted for the poor tennis

I wish I had an excuse.

The council should unleash specially trained dogs to run off with the cones, I reckon.

Just hire Michael Gove. He got picked up for nicking a traffic cone as a student.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Recipes any good?

The recipes that have found their way into the Brixton Bogle have all been pleasant and mildly adventurous - mostly locally-available ingredient takes on Caribbean, Iberian, African and British favourites.

 

[ViolentPanda]

I think I preferred it before it was "London's Most Exciting Market."

Back when it was "Brixton's Most Unexciting Market".
Try as I might, I tend to not be able to find markets exciting. Interesting perhaps, but not "exciting".

Yeah, they were pulling the boards off the windows yesterday afternoon when I passed.

So does anyone know what the final use for the downstairs of Bradys is going to be? And does anyone have any details of how many lifestyle apartments they're going to wedge upstairs?

 

[Kevs]

Anywhere in Brixton I can print out a boarding pass when I get home at 9?

This is fighting talk. Literally.
Fulham Plumbers get set to take on Brixton boxers with a Charity Fight Night at Miguel’s Gym, Loughborough Junction

Someone on here said a branch of Wahaca for downstairs.

More nigh-on-unaffordable to locals newbuild.

Fascinating planning committee report - says the officers thought that an application for 9 dwelling units rather than 10 was a move to avoid affordable housing.

The applicant then demonstrated that to accommodate the officer's environmental requirements the number of units would have to be reduced to 8.

Only in Lambeth!
