Brixton news, rumour and general chat - May 2014

[Onket]

It'll be you and Badgers. Enjoy.

 

[Badgers]

The 23rd of May.

I can't make it, have an urban meet that day

 

[boohoo]

Oh Onket don't write different dates about meets on the internet. Someone will post on the 24th saying they came down asked several people at the bar if they were from the internet, didn't find anyone and went home never ever ever to leave their house again.

 

[Onket]

People like that deserve that to happen.

 

[Badgers]

People like that deserve that to happen.

Yeah and if the subsequent mockery on the boards causing them to flounce for ever then so much the better.

 

[SarfLondoner]

Just as long as you are in time for the quiz at 8pm.

Thirty questions to decide, once and for all, who is the most old-school Brixton.

Is this quiz happening at the urbs meet?

 

[Onket]

Yeah and if the subsequent mockery on the boards causing them to flounce for ever then so much the better.

Fuck em. If they didn't register on here prior to 2003, and haven't lived in Brixton since well before then, they don't deserve to breath the air that we breath. Etc.

 

[Badgers]

Is this quiz happening at the urbs meet?

Hopefully not

What time is the karaoke on?

The questions will have to be written by the most old-school Brixton person, though. I don't see how this can work without time travel.

 

[boohoo]

I don't know about questions... what about a points system?

 

[SarfLondoner]

Why is that then?

 

[boohoo]

4 points if you grew up in Brixton

[boohoo]

"Old School Brixton" according to Google image search:

no - they are all wrong.

Old school brixton - is punks, reggae, squatters, preachers, somewhere a group of elderly west indians singing Jesus songs, market stalls selling veg with cries of "lovely selly tomatoes", and buying a pound of king Edwards from the man on the corner, it's visiting the second hand market, hearing reggae versions of hymns and pop songs, its being bashed in the ankles by old lady trollies, its exotic foods, wig shops and african fabrics, its a visit to the pet shop in the arcades as a treat and checking out the 45s at Woolworths.

No - it's definitely more about steamed dumplings and spock ears.

Fuck em. If they didn't register on here prior to 2003, and haven't lived in Brixton since well before then, they don't deserve to breath the air that we breath. Etc.

Onket please reorganise entry list in order of date of first moving to Brixton.

Thanks.

In case anyone is close enough and fancies Fish and Chips on Saturday, you'll be able to get them for 99p in the chippy down by Oval Station.

Who knows what the portion will be like. I am not going to risk going there for them to be awful but maybe someone nearby will benefit.

etc....

Any points for:
- going to the Fridge/ Albert / since 1984?
- going to Bradys / Atlantic / any other defunct pubs?
- being to old and dykey to bother going to Cooltan?
- shopping for veg and stuff in the Market?
- getting hitched in Lambeth Town Hall?

no - they are all wrong.
