^ that means you've won.

Sum total of meals consumed in Brixton Villllaaage in four years = 2. Clothes bought = 0. Not much of an adopter then.

You've been bangin on about several places down there, especially Federation.

 

[secateurz]

honest burger is the bomb

What were these "several other places" that I was "banging on about" apart from Federation, please?

*awaits the detailed list

I think you've got your syntax a bit mixed up there.

 

[pissflaps]

"i was not going to brixton village way before it was cool not to go to brixton village..."

sound familiar?

It certainly sounds tedious.

Places change and people are perfectly entitled to have an opinion about that change.

it does, doesn't it.

You'll have to wait a bit, I'm out the door for a few days. Have a look back at your posts yourself, maybe?

Oh, I thought you'd be able to reel them off the top of your head seeing as you were so emphatic about all the places I've been raving about. Thing is, I know you're talking utter bollocks. And why you feel the need to bring all this up is another matter.

If I liked a place five years ago - so what?

 

[TruXta]

Touchy are we? Right, I really gotta get going now. Ciao!

 

[Orang Utan]

Stop calling it Brixton Viillllaagge you sanctimonious pricks

We'll call it what we ruddy well like, thanks.

 

[wemakeyousoundb]

have we moved from "I'm more Brixton than you" to "I'm less villaaaaaaage than you" now?

 

[editor]

Tsk. Those extra "a"'s in Villaaage will probably make you extra sanctimonious in the eyes of Oraaaaaaaaang Utan.

Grow up.
It's Brixton Village
Or Granville Arcade if you are old school and therefore have a right to live there

See that cat below? That's you, that is.

 

[Orang Utan]

No, it's you that is!

 

[DietCokeGirl]

If we channelled all this passion and energy into, say, raising supplies for the food bank or running a co-op skill share in Moorelands, we'd be fucking heros by now.

 

[ericjarvis]

No, it's you that is!

Actually I think you'll find it's me.

 

[ericjarvis]

That's what I thought. I thought maybe it was the other one

How would anyone tell. So far as I can see they are both precisely the same bloke, along with a scary number of other Labour MPs.

 

[EastEnder]

How much passion & energy does it take to lie on the sofa and type nonsense into a laptop?

 

[secateurz]

Not had the time or money. Place looks fine but it is a hard task.

 

[pissflaps]

that new tapas joint on acre lane can get to fuckery. 40 quid for some finger snacks and a glass of red each.


fucking "tapas"... the homeopathy of eating out.

 

[secateurz]

the prices look v reasonable, might have a dabble on the way back from the gym

I went to a tapas joint over the road from the Grand Union...do you mean that one? It seemed reasonable.

 

[pissflaps]

"Boqueria" it is called. i know this because they are one of those restaurants that insists on giving you their business card when you pay the bill and it is now cluttering my pocket.

 

[secateurz]

is there a good curry house in Brix yet?

I can't agree or disagree as I have no reference to service or product quality/quantity. But I like the homeopathy line, I will stealing that.
