Brixton news, rumours and general chat - March 2013

[Mrs Magpie]

I'll make sure I finetune a DJ selection that will drive them out of the bar and screaming into their minis, ne'er to return.

I suggest the Birdie Song and that awful Keith thingy & Orville one about flying...there must be copies on t'interweb,

Here you go, 'cos I know you want to listen to it really

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I'll pass on that one Minnie. Luckily the barrier block is a very solid barrier indeed and I'm behind it...

That's exactly the sort of thing those "wacky" Foxtons cunts would love.

This is more like it.

Is anyone else getting the feeling that there's a bit of a nasty vibe bubbling up on the streets recently? I've been seeing a lot more cop activity and I'm hearing talk about some very unpleasant stuff going on....

There's been a LOT more police around on Fridays and at the weekends recently....and plenty of (obvious) plain clothes cops hanging around. It's been noticeable. Though I think part of it is cos central Brixton seems a lot more busy on the weekends than it was a few years - a bit more clapham and fighty

Just saw on another forum the 414 is supposedly closed for a bit?

Well when I went past yesterday morning on my way to Buckingham Palace (as you do), bar 414 was sealed off with police tape and a couple of cop cars outside so I'm guessing that there was an incident inside/outside the venue

Snow tomorrow/Monday forecast

 

[Mrs Magpie]

According to the SLP, last weekend there was a knife attack on Barrington Road, a stabbing and shooting in two separate incidents in Clapham, a stabbing on Streatham High Road and a stabbing at a house party off Flaxman Road in Camberwell (SLP say that's Brixton, but they aren't 100% accurate on what locals call a place and I know people in that block and they say Camberwell). So, just the one incident in Brixton.

Yeah. I heard but not officially. Guess it will be shut this weekend

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I really feel for the owner. He's done so much to have a friendly trouble-free venue for decades.

Apparently there have been 11 serious stabbings or shootings in the past week in Lambeth, fucks sake

How does that compare to other Boroughs? Southwark?

 

[Brixton Hatter]

no idea tbh mate

Just curious. Not good, just curious how it compares to other Boroughs and Lambeth a year, two or five ago. Better/worse/unchanged?

Getting stats out of the police is painful.

I would have thought all stabbings and shootings were serious

Snow tomorrow/Monday forecast

I can't see snow but it looks like the temp is supposed to be rapidly dropping again.

mrs hatter stabbed (well, poked) me with a knife this morning and I was only doing the washing up!

Well yes but sometimes people are badly hurt and others no one has more than a scratch.

 

[polls]

did anyone ever go to either movement at mass or escape from samsiri (sp) at fridge? i've been to plenty of doos in my time, and they were the best club nights i have ever been to.

Oh yeah I loved going to Escape from Samsara! That wa sway before I was living in brixton... Remember the bouncy coloured balls and bits of coloured paper at the end? And all the psychedelic laces and plastic things u could buy.. I would love to have a reunion.. The fridge is wack now..

I may be a bit confused but don't they both say averaging around zero degrees with a chance of snow..?

 

[Orang Utan]

Reminds me of when I was 8 and my brother split my head open with a brick and I was rushed to hospital, only to be wheeled into the Minor Injuries Unit. Outraged I was. I thought it was pretty fucking major at the time.

Look at the last 2 lines of the Netweather forecast. They show throughout the day

Yes -2 with snow
What am I missing?

Do you mean the high winds?

BBC weather only has snowflake symbol at 9.00am.

Netweather has snowflake symbol throughout the day
