Brixton news, rumours and general chat - March 2013

[editor]

That article is truly stomach-turning stuff. A celebration of smug.

It's a pile of arse - Louth in Lincolnshire is number 11 or something and it's one of the most boring places ever. I'd rather shoot myself than live there. And it's definitely not better than Brixton.

 

[el-ahrairah]

i know louth too. it's nice if you're a well-off hater of human interaction.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

I was just going to say, they must be taking the piss with Louth.

The electricity is still out by the tube so that Iceland is closed (boo!) and Starbucks is shut (hooray!), while Sainsbury's is operating on a limited service (no frozen stuff). WH Smith is OK.

That's because that WHSmith does nothing apart from form long ques anyway.
Worst ship in Brixton

 

[cuppa tee]

From the Times article......."it pays in every way to follow the cool crowd,"

 

[Rushy]

Only one place in Wales?!

 

[Orang Utan]

Generally, young/young-ish people with more money and free time than you.

So, basically everyone then?

 

[RaverDrew]

will someone please explain what a 'hipster' is.

I once farted in a room full of hipsters, and then watched them fight over who heard it first.

 

[pissflaps]

no west norwoods? this list is jokez.

Complain to the captain.

 

[leanderman]

Complain to the captain.

I assume retailers work on the basis of having the lowest number of staff that is consistent with serving customers within a reasonable amount of time.

And WHSmith fails this basic principle. I no longer go there.

You should only be allowed to move to Kirkcudbright if you can pronounce it properly.

Whitstable????? Went last weekend...

A town of two halves

The 'trendy' high street was full of overpriced pastel coloured shops selling knick knacks that were of no use to anyone and the local high street the usual depressing range of chains and charidee shops (with one exception of an Are you Being Served type old fashioned knicker shop - soon to be closing down I'm sure)

Oh, and it was pissing down the whole time

He's no longer with us.

There's no way I could pick 30 desirable places to live on this dismal island.

I couldn't pick five.

SW2 or Hawaii.

That's it.

Really? I love the UK and could make a very long list of places I like.

Sometimes I think that, by moving, I could get a proper garden - and decrease my chance of being mugged.

But not only do I love it here - it would be difficult to start again elsewhere.

My friends emigrated to Canada. Never regretted it. There "garden" looks like a wood to me. You need money though. Canada is quite fussy about who it lets live there permanently.

 

[leanderman]

Canada is out-dulled only by New Zealand.

Visited each, once, and could not wait to get home.

You are obviously a Londoner at heart in that case.

I saw that today

What did u think? Ive just edited my post to summarise plot or see my more serious post on the books/ films section.

Not a bad effort but not as good as Matrix. Been doing well at Ritzy.

A few people I know would not see it because of Tom Hanks. But he was ok.

I suspect I'd go insane there.
