Brixton news, rumour and general chat - May 2014

[SarfLondoner]

I've just woken up in the horrors of drink. A gentleman does not complain about hangovers but gosh my head hurts. Ok, i'm going to have a very slow start to the day.

The staff at the Effra were brilliant, thank you.

I had 3 pints of lemonade then i hit the cranberry juice,i was up half the night on a sugar rush

OK OK enough already. No cheers for the suggestions on the bus home now do will have a browse

 

[Manter]

When I returned with the correct keys, the electrician handed me a coffee saying "I think you might need this".

I may win worst morning- I was woken at 5 by a small boy who'd done a nuclear nappy and didn't fancy lying in it. Fortunately I think I was still drunk.

The price of soft drinks is scandalous. You and a couple of others were on the lemonade, it must have been good. I was so drunk i thought everyone was drunk.

 

[Ms T]

I have a headache and have retired to bed with the cat.

Sorry I'm developing a headache over this

Snappy!

Your exposing me to too many choices

 

[SarfLondoner]

Sorry I'm developing a headache over this

You'll SNAP out of it.

 

[Dexter Deadwood]

I better shutter up.

 

[billythefish]

Time to focus on the case in point.

 

[Rushy]

SHUTTER UP

Oops - that was said way back. Really not firing on all cylinders today

 

[Dexter Deadwood]

I'm full of beans now, coffee beans; have just been invited to a festival, a tent will be provided for me. All i need to do is get there and jump the fence. Survive three days in the mud with folk music and compost toilets.

... off camping now ... into the eye of the storm.

Great night last night. Looking forward to the next one.

You have 48 bottles of wine. It will be fine(ish).

Us too. Currently driving through utterly torrential rain.

 

[quimcunx]

Was a good night last night. Lots of new people though only got round to speaking to half of them.

We brought some more friends to Sam's Cafe today and they were mightily impressed with the food and the mahoosive portions

I was there at lunchtime with the Winotettes (recovering from the Effra Social). Agree it's very good - and extremely friendly.

 

[shakespearegirl]

Thanks to Onket for inviting/tagging me for this, sorry I was unable to brave it! Very glad that it sounds like it was a fantastic meet up. One day, eh!

Same here, sorry its been an insane work week & I had to dash home to vote and then sleep.. Next time I'll try and make it.

 

[el-ahrairah]

I couldn't make it either so it wasn't as excellent as it could have been.

 

[Gramsci]

Great to meet Brixton Urbanites last night at Effra Social.

Sorry did not see Onket

 

[thatguyhex]

I was working until 4:30am and was sad to miss it.

A fine full English breakfast at the Duck Egg Café at about 1pm proved to have sufficient restorative effect to keep me upright today.

June.

Can the next Brixton do, be at the Efffra Social again - I though the venue was just right for us. Plenty of space, not too loud, on bus routes, not too far from tube - and great to be able to sit outside in the sunshine for those who arrived before the rain. The flock wallpapered front room was much admired. And the beer, the beer was great, plus buscador loved the real cider.

And the company - was even better. It was really easy to go up to people I've never met before and say 'so who are you?'.

What does any one else think?

 

[friendofdorothy]

For anyone who is interested in things historical - Effra Social barman says they have a basement full of the Tory club records. He brought up a random book to show us - it was the 1927-1935 minutes book. Started with a report of a club turnover of £90 15s 6d and a 30% profit in the first meeting of 1927, all in lovely cursive handwriting, brief formal notes in a hard bound book.
