Brixton news, rumours and general chat - December 2012

[Manter]

In a nod to my childhood, I bought indoor fireworks last Christmas.

Disappointing. Even my kids thought they were rubbish.

I bought indoor sparklers and set fire to the tablecloth last year. This year I'm sticking with crackers

 

[ajdown]

Why not? Lots of Xmas parties happening. Xmas lasts for a couple of weeks in that respect

Christmas is one day.

The commercial season surrounding christmas, however, is another matter.

 

[Orang Utan]

That's irrelevant.
People have parties all over the Xmas season, esp the weekend before

 

[Chilavert]

Log on and tell me how chaotic Waterloo is...please.

'twas really quiet!

Woken up at 5 this morning by the dogs barking though; not happy...

I'd imagine if you go now, it'll be ok. I'm just back in the last half hour from Morrisons in Streatham and didn't have to queue for a till

 

[colacubes]

I've not been to Tescos but just walked past both Iceland and Sainsburys, and they're both pretty quiet at the moment.

Contrary to previous information given, the Windmill is open Christmas Night from 8pm.

Oh goodie. I'll be there then

 

[Gramsci]

Merry Christmas to all.

 

[Gramsci]

Weather forecast is really bad

[Gramsci]

Funfair @ Windswept Square on Boxing day.

 

[Gramsci]

There is something quite surreal and creepy about funfairs in the wet and dark.

@Onket

Where?!

 

[Onket]

Although 20 quid a pop is a bit steep, tbf.

@badgers

 

[Badgers]

Where?!

Sorry to say it was not in Brixton but they were £1.20 and very delicious. A little stodgy but good.

[Manter]

Where do I get Louisiana hot sauce in Brixton/tulse hill/Herne hill? Or do I need to go into town?

Especially empty ones

Is it that specific one you want? Because the chinese supermarket and the indian butchers in the market proper (not the undercover bits) sell all sorts of hot sauces.

 

[shifting gears]

Try Nour, their selection of hot sauces is staggering.

 

[MariaLeFrink]

well I didn't even know that the fair was coming, spent my Xmas in Camberwell... yay

 

[Badgers]

@Onket

 

[Manter]

Thx will try both

 

[ericjarvis]

We shouldn't have ordered the white Christmas over the phone. They obviously sent us a wet Christmas instead.

@Onket

@Onket

What's the meaning of this?

 

[Badgers]

What's the meaning of this?

Did you miss the meeting?

 

[el-ahrairah]

it's some modern thing for young people, OU, i'd ignore it if i was you.

 

[Orang Utan]

I assume it is to call onket's attention to summat, but why twice in short succession?

Why not?
