Welcome to the Internet.

I've just posted a little piece about the Soweto sculpture by Raymond Watson in Max Roach park.

Ah but I've been meaning to go to Mien Tay for ages and then forgot about it... so at least it's jogged my memory

They've clearly never been to the Morleys at the top of Brixton Hill next to where the Telegraph was - when people leave the door open and the wind blows the wrong way, it's not just cool, it's feckin freezing in there waiting for your food.

Newest business owners in the market trying to retro-fit themselves into Brixton history, lol.

They don't even know which bit of the market their shop is in

The history and life of the market apparently starts in 2008 when Franco Manca opened. These two smug tossers remind me of nu-football fans who think football started in 1992 with the advent of the premier league.

That
Their corporate branding and public space bagsying is spreading all over the square again, then.

They make no effort to do it in a way that complements the square. Just standard cheap seats surrounded by bog standard corporate branding.

 

[secateurz]

fuck Wishbone, I hope it dies a death and they replace it with either a meatliquor, kfc or ANYTHING ELSE

 

[pissflaps]

i know the bloke who manages that there chicken shop, used to work at the regent. he's a good 'un. the food is gash mind you.

Chicken makes you bald.

I thought it gave you man boobs but anyway, the amount of antibiotics and other drugs they pump into chicklets is bound to have some effect on the human body somewhere along the line.

Hello all,

Random enquiry...what's the latest manifestation of bug bar / Babalou ect
ect.
What is it these days?

 

[colacubes]

It's a Spanish bar called Gremio (I think). It's only opened in the last month or so.

 

[Rushy]

Yes it is - opens properly for food next week I think. Open until 2am.

Cinema screen outside Herne Hill station showing a Charlie Chaplin double bill. It's quite lovely.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

WTF!

Anyone else just get a massively bright green light appear?

Just sitting in living room and a big green light flashed in. Dashed to look out of the window and it happened again as I was turning, but can't see anything and have never seen anything like that appear

 

[gaijingirl]

omg yes Minnie the Minx - I got the same.. did you see that large round thing slowly rotating in the sky too? And lots of vertical lights shining downwards from it? I'm not sure if you would have seen it from your window but I could have SWORN there was the outline of a small boy cycling a bicycle with something odd in the front basket... quite a clear silhouette in fact in front of the moon..

I'm being serious here.

Still trying to figure out what it was. There's no way any lights from way over London would reach here. Considering where we are, thought maybe a helicopter, but we've never seen any green helicopters lights shining in, and it wasn't that kind of light anyway.

I wonder if it could be a green laser pen? But the light was really big (probably a foot wide), so don't think it's that either.

It wasn't round either, but whether that's the way it hit the picture frame

It was a really rich colour as well, so not light a reflection or like it was a long way away, more like someone was right outside the window, which is impossible

Have to say this doesn't look like my idea of a fun night:



From Honest Burgers Twitter stream.

 

[Ms T]

Is that the queue for Honest Burgers?

 

[EastEnder]

Is that the queue for Honest Burgers?

I frown on hipsters, but I approve of good queueing.

#conflicted

 

[nagapie]

Good lord, queuing for a burger is just as ridiculous as queuing for a pizza. Have people gone mad.

 

[leanderman]

I suppose they have travelled some way to eat them and won't give up. I go midweek lunchtimes. Quiet.

 

[Thimble Queen]

There are other places in the market that do burgers tho... why not just go to one of them?!

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Because they're not Honest Burgers. You may be able to get a seat straightaway as well, and then you won't be able to say how you queued for so long outside HB but it was well worth the wait

Or some such bollocks
