This reminds me, I was leaving the tube lateish last night - wandering up the stairs listening to a clarinet busker. A slightly inebriated man skips up ahead of me, and reaches into his pocket (I assume for change for the busker) and out drops a MASSIVE BAG OF WHITE POWDER. Clarinet player spotted it and his solo incorporated a big squeal of surprise as inebriated bloke stumbled to pick it up and pop it back into his pocket, before stumbling on.

Perhaps it was drunken baker taking his work home with him
 
The clarinet busker was one of about 15 people who I saw being hassled by a group of four very aggressive young men last night. They were asking people for money, going up to anyone carrying a phone or a camera, walking up to young women and grabbing them, stepping out in front of cars to hassle the drivers etc. They kicked a guy in Electric Ave, then threatened someone else in front of Iceland, then kicked the busker's music case. Lots of people came to his defence. They were eyeing up everyone as potential sources of money or phones or something. It was all so brazen, they seemed to have no fear of security cameras or plod. I didn't have my phone, or I would have called the police. So I followed them. When they got near Brixton police station I went in to look for an officer, but there were none there. By the time I came out they had lamped a guy opposite Nando's, completely laid him out. Somebody stopped and called the police and waited with him and I carried on following. I caught up with them at the skate park, where they were intimidating somebody. A guy watching all this got on the phone to the police but they saw him and chased him all over the place. This brought them within a couple of feet of me so I decided not to follow any more. I was pretty much the only person they hadn't hassled and my luck wasn't going to last much longer so I tried to memorise their clothing and went back to the guy they'd laid out and waited for plod. Another of their victims joined us - he'd been smacked in the gob. The police came and gave first aid. I wanted to go for a drive with them and find the culprits but they wanted to stay with the victims and they couldn't rustle up another car. So that was that. I talked to the busker and his girlfriend on my way home. She had recognised two of the yoofs - she said she sees them all the time near the tube.

Very brave of you, and shocking that the cops weren't available to stop them

They were all IC3 males, aged about 19 or 20. Three were 6' or more, one was about 5'10". All slim build. One was wearing his jeans so low that six inches of his boxers were on display. His hair was about 8 inches long in kind of twisty clumps as if he'd recently started to grow dreads. Another had a bright blue baseball cap on and a white duffel/gym bag over his shoulder - the kind with a drawstring and no handles. They looked and sounded Caribbean to me, but one of the victims, who is of West African extraction, said they sounded more like North African. But he was drunk, and it was dark. Anyway, safe to say they don't have south London accents.

Ah, yes I think I saw them by the Windrush Sq. bus stop crowding & messing around with some bloke who was sat on one of the chairs there - taking his hat off and putting it on themselves. Thought they had London accents though.

There's a geezer in front of Duck Egg selling nitrous for £3 a go. Not a bad profit margin - the canisters only cost 20p. But he does throw in a free balloon.

They ended up somewhere else doing it very conspicuously in the corner.
No matter how many times I hear a nitrous canister going off, even if I am looking at the person doing it, it makes me jump :oops:

Anyway, it is beneath me. A quick wiff of poppers is much more chic :oops: :D
 
Never posted before, but I have a question and can't think of where else to ask. This is fairly random.

Anybody near Helix road? Last night... About 2.30am until at least 3.30 ... A very strange intermittent sound... Like a synthesised panpipe playing a maybe 4-8 note riff every minute or so... Riff is misleading because it wasn't musical, but definitely repeated... Then switching to a new pattern maybe every 10 mins

It was pretty annoying and I must know the cause!
 
It's name that tune time again. It's customary in these parts for you to sing it on youtube. Everyone will then pretend to try to identify it and mock you mercilessly.
