Brixton news, rumours and general chat - Aug 2013

This little chappy was wandering around Rush Common (opposite George Tesco IV) this afternoon. I'm guessing he's wandered out of the Park (unless an individual owns him/her)DSC00429.JPG
 
I got Nu-Brixton in both barrels tonight.

I was in a certain late night bar/club where this over-confident, coked-up-to-the-max, middle-class late 20s guy in a smart city suit started chatting to me in the toilet.

"You look like a cool kind of freeloading Brixton guy" was his opening insight.

I've no idea what that even means, but things only got worse as he attempted to befriend me in that over-friendly, personal-space-unaware, empathy-stripped way that cokeheads do.

He then followed me up to the bar and went on to tell me about how he loves Brixton since moving here a year ago - Tooting wasn't edgy/lively/party-full enough for him - and how "the Jamaican dealers" on his road have got to recognise him and give him a respectful nod as he comes home from work.

He doesn't mind them dealing on the street which I'm sure is a big relief to them (if they even exist).

A load of predictably semi-racist stereotypical drivel followed and I got so fucking annoyed at his inability to detect that I didn't give a flying fuck about his life or what he thinks of Brixton that I decided to go home.

(((Brixton)))

He sounds like a Chris Morris parody. "Jamaicans" LOL. Beyond satire, some of these types :D
 
Maybe he meant freewheeling?
I would have taken it as a (perhaps unconscious) insult, either that he really meant 'freeloading' as in shirker not a worker, poncing off of mates; or 'freebasing' as in coke abuse. "You look like a cool sort of ponce/crackhead." On the other hand, maybe either are terms of approval in these peoples' world :confused:
 
Intrigued by the woman who regularly goes for a run across the top of Brockwell park without the usual running gear, wearing a dress or similar.

there's also a guy who wears regular clothes in the Brockwell parkruns on Saturdays

And leather work shoes and a floppy hat. Class.

Do you do Park Run? It's such a great idea.
I don't manage it very often but was there last weekend - scored my record slowest time. Hangover related.

There was a woman who used to run in Charlton Park, every single day, through boiling heat and sleet and snow, in a floor length dress with long sleeves, a massive floppy hat, white woolly gloves and huge sunglasses. :)

I intend to go every week but 9am on a Saturday is just not running time.

I'm still amused/appalled by this...he's probably been telling his work colleagues about the "amazing local character" he met last night ;) :mad:

My Parkrun times are always booze related. Four pints makes 20mins impossible.
 
He's a star, sometimes he just runs off at the end and looks like he's going to catch the Thameslink to work. :cool:

He goes round again on another lap to make sure we all got round.

Have heard reports of him being seen running across Southwark or Blackfriars bridge, similarly dressed, possibly on way to work.
