Also can we can get this thread stickied?

Sure. I'll just edit the title so it matches the previous 15 or so previous monthly threads.

Just walked down Brixton main street... Outside Foxtons there was a person lying face down on cardboard with face covered in the middle of the path... I notice a heap of pricks with their smart phones taking pics... Those queing at the Bank atms pointing and laughing...
I woke the person up and was so very relieved to get a mouthful of abuse from the woman who was trying to sleep...
100s of people passed this woman...
shame on you wankers...
just days ago the Daily Mail reported in America: Dead half-naked homeless man lay on street for entire day - as passersby took photos of him

It was a funny kind of Halloween night last night in the pubs. A few people had made the effort but most hadn't so you had the odd sight of someone fully made up as a ghoul sat around a table of 'normal' people. Anyone dressing up tonight?

I am going as an overweight, alcoholic office worker

It was the same down here on the south coast. To be honest I don't really see the need for adults to dress up unless they are specifically going to a fancy dress party/event. And a pub isn't the place for a fancy dress party unless it's closed for a private event.

I'm personally not a fan of fancy dress parties for adults anyway, mainly because every single one of my birthday parties when I was growing up was fancy dress, due to the date of my birthday.

Poor cunt. Did you get double the presents or just the regular amount?

 

[Onket]

Half.

As consistency is clearly important, you need to ask the impartial moderator also to shorten "November" to "Nov".

(yawn)

Meanwhile i'm hearing reports a lad in a balaclava was seen on a motorbike going through Granville Arcade earlier. Heard a helicopter really low in the centre.

Happened across the Rent In Brixton twitter @RMrentBRixton too, some crazy prices on there

 

[editor]

So what exactly are they building on the top of Brady's at the back?

It's alright as it is, thanks.

If anyone wants to buy the new Nexus 5 from Carphone Warehouse by the station, don't bother it's sold out! It's the first time I've been in there for ages and the guy who served us was really odd and eccentric. And useless.

An average urbanite then?

Why?

If you have a complaint about moderation, please take it to the feedback forum or PM a mod rather than bring it up here. Thank you.

The penultimate word "Polite" was removed from the title, presumably for accuracy.

And consistency. Can we get back on topic now please?

You can glimpse the ground floor units at Brixton Square now and they're much more like basements from what I can see.
