That's a shame they sold some decent equipment in there. The dog used to scare the shit out of me though.

It was big but it really was the softest thing!

Yep. There was hundred of those lovely vehicles going through town, although I'm not sure who was the most surprised: me at seeing them, or them at seeing a guy in full Halloween face paint taking photos of them!

Listening to this show - and I have tried - is beyond my technical abilities

The Phoenix is having a major rebuild so a mini-me Phoenix will be operating from that site as a stop gap. Not sure if they'll be able to do lasagne (the kitchen will be a lot smaller), but the toasted halloumi sandwiches are safe.

Yeah, but where?!

Do you want to know how to put in a "shout out"? I have worked it out if you need some help.

Thanks. Just working out how to listen to it would be a start.

the link takes you to a page ... and then what?

 

[sparkybird]

Click on the 'play' arrow...

 

[colacubes]

Yeah, but where?!

Same side of the road, bit further up (couple of doors before the Dogstar).

 

[leanderman]

Click on the 'play' arrow...

I don't have an arrow. Must be my out of date software

The link should take you to a page called interface pirate radio then click the arrow in the green box.

 

[SarfLondoner]

I don't have an arrow. Must be my out of date software

If you dont see an arrow in the centre of the box, there is another in the bottom left corner.

 

[Winot]

You can upgrade software but you can't upgrade taste...

Thanks. Success, on my phone at least.

Even better, I failed to kill the volume, and my staid work colleagues now think 'I'm down with the kids'.

 

[SarfLondoner]

Tesco on Brixton Rd throwing out several rubbish bags full of bread and cakes yesterday.

That's SOP for supermarkets with bakeries. During a period a couple of years ago when I was destitute and teetering on the verge of homelessness I used to regularly skip-dive behind a mini M&S at a petrol station. Every single time I would come back with two whole black bags full of sweet and savoury pastries, loaves and baguettes, even packaged fruit in perfect condition, and that would just be what I could carry. Evidently I wasn't the only person that noticed how much they were wasting, as eventually they started smashing the food up and spraying blue food colouring on it before putting it into the bags they left in the bins.

SOP is whats wrong.

That looks great, but given the nature of the cars I'm surprised this is not held in the summer

Does anyone know anything about the new charity shop on Brixton Hill? Right next door to the Access Storage place.

They say they're L.O.S, a community outreach organisation, registered charity number 7774127....


....But when I plug in these details at the Charity Commission website, I get a no results response....

If you get no response they aren't a charity... There is a report link on the charity commission website, I suggest reporting them

But what if they are doing good work anyway? They claim to be trying to do something constructive about youth disaffection and crime in the area.
