Brixton news, rumour and general chat - May 2014

[editor]

That is a shockingly bad video.

 

[boohoo]

zenie ripped the piss out of me when I told her.

At least I am coming this time.

I'm glad she did. Still....

 

[Rushy]

Yes teuchter It is pretty much as simple as that. Once I have digitally verified who you are and logged your data on the system leanderman will issue a name tag. They are free - Onket will return the £15 deposit to you when you bring the tag back undamaged at the end of the evening.

 

[teuchter]

No.

They must be wearing one of the name badges leanderman mentioned earlier in the thread. They wll be distributed by him beforehand.

PM him for further details and to arrange.

No badge = no drink.

So basically any member of the public reading this can turn up just before 1705, claim to [S]leanderman[/S] Rushy that they some urban75 member or the other, and Onket will buy them a pint when they present him with the [S]leanderman[/S] Rushy - vetted badge?

(edited to correct leanderman/rushy sock puppet confusion)

 

[teuchter]

Ah. So now we understand the "various reasons" why Onket is going to leave early and not be present at the end of the evening.

leanderman Onket .........Is wearing a name badge a condition of entry to the event ?

Best just to ask the Effra Social management on twitter, to clarify.

 

[Onket]

I'm not orgnaising the name tag / biometric chipping, so cannot comment further. Apologies.

 

[leanderman]

leanderman Onket .........Is wearing a name badge a condition of entry to the event ?

Voluntary.

Do you think it will work?

 

[Boudicca]

Instead of the name badges, perhaps everyone bring an object which gives a clue to their username? This could be more fun and less like a work away-day.

Are you going in a chariot?

 

[Onket]

There's a ketamine drought on, apparently.

 

[Boudicca]

Are you going in a chariot?

The chariot may not fit, but I could bring my spear.

 

[Manter]

I may need to change my username....

We went to the Grand Union on Saturday to watch the FA Cup final.

All good, Thai Beach huts out the back, all with a telly in them showing the football.

Great afternoon until 4.45 when the final whistle went. My mates were told to take their Arsenal shirts off or leave. As it was a hot day it was all they were wearing.

So happy to take money from footy fans but will throw them out as soon as they have had your cash.

Utter wankers.

 

[colacubes]

The match didn't kick off till 5pm. Must have been a good afternoon

 

[Rushy]

I thought the match finished around 8?

 

[Fingers]

Ha ha, yes you are correct there

 

[Winot]

Voluntary.

Do you think it will work?

Unnecessary hassle, I'd have thought. And undercuts the obvious opening question.

If we are going to organise something, I vote that everybody turns up wearing Onket masks, Being John Malkovich-style.

 

[Dexter Deadwood]

I have agreed to buy everyone who is present a pint at 17:05.

Yes, the pint you owe me and the one at 17:05 hrs #OperationBankruptOnket

I take the one and hold the other in reserve.

 

[Onket]

Taking advantage of my (ill-advised) generousity.

 

[cuppa tee]

Voluntary.

Do you think it will work?

that would depend on the objective but I think I'd stay anonymous.

Dang! I was looking forward to attending the BNRaGCTPU and getting to meet some of you fine folk, but I'm working opening postal votes this week and they've said they want me on for the 5pm-midnight shift that day. Guess it'll have to be next time.

If it's any consolation, VP's unlikely to make it this time either. He's still far too deaf because of a breakdown in communication between doctor and hospital booking system.

OTOH there will be other times.

 

[han]

Are people actually going to be there about 5?
Ill be able to make it then for a couple of hrs but have to go to be elsewhere for 8....

I won't be- I'll swap baby-duty with the Northerner when he gets home at c 7 and come down then. And hope there is someone I know already there

 

[colacubes]

I'll be heading down after my spin class at about 7.30/8ish

oh, well, if all else fails I'll lurk by the door and fall on you as you arrive
