Brixton news, rumour and general chat - October 2016

[editor]

I noticed what appears to be a shiny trendy new coffee shop being prepared for opening opposite the closed cafes in the arches on Station Rd.

I am shocked and saddened by the quality of the personal abuse on this thread. It's so poor you should all be ashamed of yourselves. You've let the thread down, you've let the forum down but most of all you've let yourselves down.

Sanctimonious ballsack.

Yeh. I could have asked for no better post to prove my point.

I'm disappointed to see that kind of abuse getting approval from you and tacit approval from the owner of this site. Manter wasn't abusing anybody, you're confusing it with passion.

I think Manter has struck a nerve with many of you and the predictable response is to play the man rather than the ball. It's not surprising.

Manter was abusing posters here. It was not passion it was having an uncalled for go at posters including me.

Initially I and other posters let it pass. So no not a predictable response.

Was at the community event in Loughborough Junction on Saturday by the Estate. Good event. Chatting to people up there and there is general concern that what is happening to Brixton- gentrification- could come to LJ.

Oh I think we can rest assured it will wend its unwelcome way to l.j.

Sadly yes its a real possibility.

And people in LJ seeing whats happened to Brixton are not being bitter about these changes. Its a real concern that the working class are being pushed out. Its not just an issue a few posters go on here about.

Al Fresco free furniture is still available in LJ as of today though get it whilst you can.

Pretty much guaranteed, I would have thought.

You are a vile and self important person. A quick search of your posts reveals a narcissistic personality disorder disguised as a humanitarian. Someone who gets involved in a hot button topic while neglecting and sneering at their own partner and in-laws.

I don't believe you really care about the plight of refugees you are more interested in raising your own profile.

You remind me a bit of that woman from the 7/7 bombings or Alien abduction people - promoting yourself in a slightly skwiffy way.

Shudder.

Eat shit, you leprous dickwipe.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Sherman Tank's post has got to be one of the vilest and most unpleasant instances of personal abuse ever dished out in this forum. Anyone who thinks it was in any way an appropriate response to Manter's comments needs to have a word with themselves.

I tried to make my reply to his vile post as vile as possible in return.

Go lick a tree-rats pox-ridden arse, you syphilitic fuckpig.

The new cafe on Station Road is a new outlet of the Adulis Eritrean Restaurant who already have premises in Oval, Clapham Junc and Brixton Road.

I like them already because they haven't hired a Shoreditch/W End PR company to promote themselves (like most of these new Brixton businesses do).

Much better.

There's a lot of bum action chatter happening here.

This is a bit odd (seen opp tube)

Just urbanites being anal.

I used Brixton Hill Studios today. They've got a nice set up there.

I do like a bit of anal. Especially on a Sunday.

This is Errol T who passed away this week. He drank in the Albert (when he wasn't banned!) and was involved with the Alabama 3 crew. RIP Errol.

You luvs it, Phelge!

Bloody chains ruining Brixton

TBF, a chain with three links isn't really a chain, it's more of an offcut.

In order to save myself £9.01 I went to see "I Daniel Blake" at the Peckham Plex for £4.99 (which is their flat price rate).
Very pleased to have gone. The film was in screen 5 which had 200 seats (I counted). There were about 40 people in.
Of course I have no idea what screen 1-4 are like - but I do know screen 5 at the Ritzy is about 80 seats.

Following this worthwhile trip to the Peckam Plex I decided to try Peckham Spoons. 11.10 pm - no worries they are open till midnight every night.
Relaxed atmosphere - the manager was a voluble middle aged Italian guy who recommended the best choice of guest ale. Meanwhile the place was done up for Halloween (to my surprise) The other barman was dressed as a nun in full habit. I'm sure friend of dorothy would have enjoyed that.

Frankly I felt well pleased with my "night". Got to see the film du jour at a reasonable price. And had a pleasant drink after 11 pm in a Wetherspoon which treated customers politely and in a friendly manner.

Why isn't Brixton like that anymore?

Pursuant to the above - the HSBC at Camberwell Green has closed permanently.
Could this be a first strike for BREXIT?

Ah, OK, that was a bit confusing. You won't believe the amount of press releases I get from 'independent' 'small' start-ups who have somehow managed to attract the services of some of the most expensive PR agencies out there.
