I did . I went to the shop on Brixton Hill, (Pempamsie) and they had tubs of raw butter for £3 or £3.50, and then a range of very nice softer whipped lotion type moisturiser, with a few extra ingredients like almond oil. I went for one of those on the end, easier to apply for my fragile friends.
But thanks for your recommendation , usually central Brixton is easier.

I could quite happily point out nights where the crowd has been very diverse indeed. I could point out that I'm not responsible for the majority of people who attend the Market House shows. I could point out that all my shows are free to anyone and everyone. I could point out that I play music that appeals to a diverse crowd and do my best as a DJ to please whatever crowd I've got in front of me. Or I could just ban for you for three days for breaking the terms of the mutual ignore with a particularly low and spiteful attack, and for also acting like a fucking dick. So that's what I'll do because I sure as hell aren't going to waste any more time with this shit. You should be fucking ashamed of yourself.

Totally out of order. Offline is always free and has been enjoyed by thousands and thousands of people. Everybody is welcome, which is part of the attraction. You should apologise for fuck's sake.

No worries. A fair bit cheaper but then I rarely go up Brixton hill these days.

Very odd in the Beehive last night.
The Pixies were on at the Academy. I arrived around 10.15 pm for the cut-price Monday ale - only to find there was only one real ale available, the rest sold out. Seemed like the place had been rammed and the usual customers had fled so the place was virtually deserted when I walked in.
As soon as the Academy turned out the staff reverted to their usual practice of barricading the doors and telling people the pub was closed.
Can'r really see how the pub is maximising its profits by not having experience staff on duty who can change a barrel (or three!) - and also not using their midnight - 1 o'clock license when they have a prospect of a late customer surge.

Which photo's are you referring to, and in what way are they misleading SpamMisery

Exactly what are you talking about?

When I used to DJ the pre/post Academy events at Plan B (now Phonox) I couldn't help feeling a bit deflated when the packed floor would rapidly diminish down to not a single soul as people left for the gig. Obviously it was going to happen - everyone was only there for the gig next door - but it still hurt to see a dancefloor completely vanish in the space of 10 minutes!

Rushy's sarcastic comment that the people in the photo weren't particularly diverse, when he clearly hadn't realised Offline was free to get in.

Are you suggesting that diverse crowds can only go to nights that are free to get in. What point are you trying to make here? Or am I wrong in giving you the benefit of the doubt that you're not just being a shit stirring snide cunt?

Indeed. The clientele changes every time I play there, and anyone that's ever been to the Market House and knows anything about Brixton would know it's one of the most diverse bars in the area - it's one of the reasons I like playing there.
It feels daft having to post this up, but just to put Rushy's pathetic little dig to bed forever, here's how the dancefloor looked at Offline few months ago.

Forget where it was, but a Spoons next to a big football ground got flack from people for putting up prices on match days to cover costs of extra staff, security and ask of sales from food. Personally I'd just give the place a swerve up till 3pm as football fans are boring apart from Man City ones as we have the best songs. Though, with the number of gigs on at the Academy in the run up to Xmas, I guess regulars are right to be a little peeved.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
About the size of it...

I've tried emailing them in the recent past with no success. They are just beyond the barrier block, if you are walking from brixton direction.

Right next to the Barrier Block on Moorland Rd junction. You can find Solomon on WhatsApp if you're on it.

This was the number on the website:
tel:07538 419 514. Is that the one you've tried?

Yeah it went to voicemail and I left a message. It's alright, I'll pop in some day soon and ask how we can help. I'm sure they are very busy this time of year planning for the xmas/ny week.

Greebo , who liked so many posts here has passed away. I am going to her funeral.
ViolentPanda gave me permission to repost this here if anyone want to go:
Ann's cremation will be at:
Lambeth Crematorium,
Blackshaw Road,
Tooting,
SW17 0BY.
On Wednesday the 7th of December, at 3.30pm. You're all welcome, but please don't feel that there's an obligation to attend, or to wear black - she didn't want people to wear black.
No flowers. Instead of floral tributes, she wanted people to make donations to Guide Association-related charities. I'll post up details as soon as my mother-in-law lets me know them.

I'm saddened that I can't make this but I will be thinking of her. I will raise a glass to her that day .

Christmas tree has been plopped down by Bowie memorial side of Morleys, no decorations as yet. will be interesting to see if they'll stretch to anything more than a few threadbare strands of manky tinsel this year.

Looks more like a big bush than an Xmas tree if you ask me. Couldn't they find anything a bit taller?

You'll not find anything to eclipse the sheer fucking splendour of Streathams a couple of years ago:
