Brixton news, rumours and general chat - February 2013

[Thimble Queen]

I really do hope not.

 

[MillwallShoes]

anyway, i don't even live there.

(half my family from there though and i have lived there, hence my interest).

That unlicensed car parking business car wash outside the Barrier Block seems to be turning into that game where you have to move cars about.

But nowhere near as tedious as your pointless picture contributions. It's like the topics of social housing and gentrification are too complicated for you to understand so you have to post up idiotic remarks instead.

fuck me, you're precious.

it's the internet, chuckles. deal with it or click ignore.

the fact is, much of the discourse on this thread, and forum at large, is informed by the worst sort of entitled sanctimocity. Things fucking change. Plus ca change.

I was thinking of offering similar advice when you said this.......

or the sheep like hipsters attract predictably tedious complaints about sheep like hipsters...

....chuckles

 

[pissflaps]

verr droll.

 

[cuppa tee]

verr droll.

thank you, but I hope you see that while it might be theoretical pissing
about on the internet to you some of the changes going on in the locality
are very real to a lot of people, and painful too

 

[pissflaps]

my comments were directed at posters who were having a pop at people based upon their fashion sense/haircuts. lighten up, francis.

Exactly. What's happening in Brixton is causing real hurt to some people.

You've rather tied yourself up in knots there, haven't you?

 

[pissflaps]

wut?

 

[editor]

wut?

Is there any point to you?

So far it's all been oversized comedy images, pious lectures about the internet, a slagging off of the forum and a stream of pointless, idiotic remarks.

 

[pissflaps]

job done, by my estimations.





at least i got a 'like'.

Of making yourself look like a disruptive, childish twat unable to hold an intelligent discussion on the topic in hand? Yep. You've got that one in the bag, alright. Award yourself a gold e-badge.

 

[pissflaps]

disruptive? topic in hand? pffff... you pompous twat.

 

[editor]

<more drivel>.

Zzzzz

 

[pissflaps]

^ ha! i see what you've done there. very good.

Things fucking change. Plus ca change.

do you mean to come across as some sort of ignorant buffoon?

only an ignorant buffoon would put 'things fucking change' beside 'plus ca change'. sadly, i think i need to spell out why. 'plus ca change...' is of course the first part of the famous saying 'the more things change the more they remain the same'. so the juxtaposition of two diametrically opposed viewpoints makes me think you know not of what you witter, and not for the first time.

Would be a struggle to find 'affordable' housing in many, if not most, parts of Britain. This is a national problem. But London is especially bad because so many people, from within and without the UK, want to, or need to, live here. It would be hard to imagine a house building programme big enough to cope with the continuing and projected rises in the capital's population. Maybe we should adopt a one-child policy.

I think he's unrecognisable enough to make it OK to post this up, but here's an Albert regular snapped sleeping it off, with some 'enhancements.'

We could start with new council housing. Lots of the stuff.

^ sorry but i have 'Pickman's model' on ignore. Presumably he isn't sharing his skin-care regimen.

Then don't post about him. The whole point of putting someone on ignore is that you then ignore them rather than try and start up conversations about them.

Me and Very Tall Lodger can't.

i want to live somewhere warm all the year round. but wanting something doesn't cut the mustard when it comes to getting something, as any ten year old will tell you on xmas day. a major problem is the foreign rich, whose buying up of swathes of london, alongside our own homegrown yuppie and hipster scum, is pricing the city out of the reach not only of people who might like to live here but people who already do live here. adopting a one-child policy wouldn't improve things, as one extremely wealthy upper middle class child will still have far more resources than one poor child from eg woodberry down or the kingsmead. it's interesting that six years ago gordon brown was saying that affordable housing was one of the great causes of our time, and you've finally caught up with him.

My idea is quicker, easier, and more environmentally-friendly. Besides, I am done with having kids.
