Brixton news, rumours and general chat - December 2012

[Orang Utan]

I asked first

 

[Badgers]

I asked first

Well done

 

[Orang Utan]

Please answer me. It's niggling me!

 

[Badgers]

Please answer me. It's niggling me!

Why would I stop the niggling?

 

[Orang Utan]

Cos you're an agreeable chap who would politely answer a question someone asked him.
Why are you being so cagey?

 

[Badgers]

Agreeable?

 

[Orang Utan]

Never mind.
at your unwillingness to answer a simple question

 

[Kanda]

Any idea why someone is setting fireworks off at the top of the hill at the moment? Can't see any festivals or whatever today on the calendar.

There was a Nigerian music video shoot and party on top of Courtenay House... you posted at 7pm... not really that much bother at that time is it??

As far as I know he does it because he finds it amusing.

@badgers -Where was the pie?

It's an unrequired noise that can be heard from outside therefore I consider it antisocial behaviour - like most of the parties that people seem to have at all sorts of inappropriate hours round my area.

I have more respect for my neighbours than to disturb them unnecesssarily., if only others did.

 

[Kanda]

Fair enough Victor

I suppose kids playing in the street is unrequired noise? Things like that yeah?

 

[Orang Utan]

Fireworks in the early evening are anti-social? Go move to Tunbridge Wells, aj!

In the ongoing hipster debate, I've just spent the day in the Northern Quarter in Manchester. We've got a loooong way to go before we reach that level of Nathan Barley.

 

[Orang Utan]

I was in Leeds town centre yesterday and that was stuffed full of overgroomed preening peacocks of all ages

Brixton needs some trendy new quarters. I hear they're all the rage.

Perhaps an Honest Burgers Quarter in recognition for their amazing work in getting Brixton in the groovy mags. Oh, and maybe a mobile Jay Rayner Corner, which is where the latest undiscovered foodie treats can be found (after appearing in his column).

 

[Onket]

I presume there is online nimby outrage in those places too?

Oh, and a Grouch Corner, where people endlessly moaning and grumbling can congregate.

You've described a lot of these board just there.

 

[Orang Utan]

No, cos they grew up locally too.
Northerners love getting ponced up in gladrags, perfume and pancake make up. They used to be blue in colour but these days they are orange with painted on eyebrows. And that's just the lads

And you are the king of those people. Veritably, you are The Lord Grumbler. The Moany Kingdom is all yours!
May I recommend the first rule you introduce as supreme ruler is a compulsory and bountiful supply of cheap lasagne to all.

I know.

Do what you want. Carry on talking hypocritical bollocks. I don't think anyone cares.

T'was a strange kind of night around Brixton tonight. It was all mellow and Sunday-esque until about midnight when the bars seemed to get very lively. I guess it was down to folks getting back from their trips to their parents and being in the mood to party.

 

[Onket]

Going out between Christmas and New Year has always been a bit of an odd one. Have had some great nights out around that time though.

 

[editor]

Well moody sky over Brixton.

[DietCokeGirl]

That sky waited until I was just about to go out, to explode with a shower of rainfall.

 

[kittyP]

I can hear the rain thundering on the roof

 

[Orang Utan]

It was darkening in Brixton just after lunch today!

 

[Manter]

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.

Try Nour, their selection of hot sauces is staggering.

Sadly no chilli chipotle hot sauces. I will go to US expat land tomorrow....
I can swap out mole for Tabasco and unsweetened cocoa, but am nervous experimenting too much with 40 people coming....

 

[Orang Utan]

Sainsbury's do a reasonable chipotle sauce
