Brixton news, rumours and general chat - Aug 2013

[ska invita]

Did this happen in Lambeth? I'd be happy to compile a list of these non-responses to pass on to the Matt Bell, head of Lambeth police. I don't think I particularly need lots of details, as the purpose will be to ask for clarification about what we can expect from our police officers.

no, croydon and lewisham i'm afraid

 

[buscador]

Oh what a larf we had in the Albert this afternoon as buscadora was accused of being middle class by a woman incapable of finding her own way out of the pub.

 

[secateurz]

I can worry about that in 6 years

become a baked bean trader following the global collapse?

What will you do when Tooting starts to look like Brixton?

 

[Peanut Monkey]

Brixton on Saturday night was looking very Clapham. First time I've been out on a weekend for a long time.
Saw a bloke get manhandled out of the Albert after being caught having a wank in the corner.

 

[Frumious B.]

Blinking flip! Do people really do that?

 

[Badgers]

Blinking flip! Do people really do that?

It is not common but yes

 

[Dan U]

What's worse, wanking in the corner or graffing the bogs?

 

[Frumious B.]

Is it the side effect of a substance, or the latest game, or what? I mean, WTF????

 

[Manter]

I like pubs as much as the next girl, but I've never been compelled to rub one out in tribute!

I can't imagine what he'd done to be thrown out if you were still there to see after you were caught wanking!

you're right, clapham is full of wankers

As far as I know this is the only occurrence in this pub over the last couple of years

Have seen a few (obviously very high) blokes having a wank in the streets/phonebox of an evening though

Whatever, I don't think this is exclusively a 'Clapham' thing

 

[Onket]

Wanking in public, eh.

Nice one, Brixton.

I don't think public masturbation is a Brickers only tipple

 

[pissflaps]

i'm wanking in public right nwo.

 

[Onket]

I don't think public masturbation is a Brickers only tipple

I don't believe you.

 

[Onket]

To be fair, the only time I ever saw someone wanking in public was in Birmingham New Street station.

 

[pissflaps]

in the mirror outside the tie-rack?

 

[Onket]

lollapalooza

 

[gabi]

That's quite good tbf

Almost certainly he had just posted something on u75 on his smartphone, expressing his hate for some group of people using lots of swear words.

Is that really what happened? How do you know?

and then you needed a wank?

Outside St Paul's Cathedral (sadly I don't think it was a scathing commentary on the futility of religious observance) and on the platform of Barnsley station are where I have been lucky enough to observe the phenomenon.

Sainsbury's leaflet arrived with the postman just now.

Sainsbury's leaflet arrived with the postman just now.

They seemed to have illustrated the leaflet using the same demographic mix of customers as Brixton Square.

In the words of that BBC person (Greg Dyke?), "hideously white".

That must have been a bleak wank at barnsley station, it's not the most attractive of places

He was going towards Worksop/Retford, so I guess it's all relative...

Still none for us. I reckon it's that broken window... We're a disgrace to the neighbourhood. <<shakes head sadly>>
