Brixton news, rumours and general chat - October 2012

[Brixton Hatter]

I'm not sure the council have powers to limit the type of mortgage taken out on a house do they?

No, but i think you do need planning to rent a house out iirc.

 

[Biddlybee]

what are those ^ ?

 

[Ms T]

No, but i think you do need planning to rent a house out iirc.

I don't think you need any kind of permission to rent out a house you own.

You've been to take little potshots at me in several places recently so it would be nice if you could at least articulate some opinions, like explaining who I'm supposedly 'putting off' and exactly how I'm doing it. Thanks.

You are putting me off with your constant sneering at people who don't fit with what you think brixton should be like.


HTH.

 

[Manter]

I don't think you need any kind of permission to rent out a house you own.

There are restrictions in lots of Brixton on multiple occupancy- so you can let out a house as a family home, but not as flats/rooms. is to manage the pressure on infrastructure, and they are talking about extending it south...

 

[editor]

You are constantly making digs at perceived newcomers to Brixton on these boards. I'm not the only person to notice it. In particular, a new poster who asked about personal trainers was not exactly welcomed with open arms.

The poster started by saying she was "too lazy" to get off her "lardarse" and made no mention if she was a 'newcomer' or not - and her location was irrelevant anyway. I offered an opinion based on that information and offered some practical alternative advice. I do believe I'm entitled to have my own opinion on personal trainers.

Besides, when she later clarified her opening post, I apologised.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion here, even if you don't personally like them.

 

[Badgers]

So... If Burger King do set up in Brixton where would we ideally want them located?

 

[Ms T]

Do you not think your attitude towards newcomers is somewhat judgemental?

 

[Ms T]

Brady's?

 

[editor]

Which newcomers, specifically?

I judge people on what they write, not how long they've been here.

 

[editor]

On a moving vehicle heading south.

 

[Crispy]

They should have snapped up Speedy Noodle before Foxton's did.

 

[quimcunx]

Where McDonalds is now.

Yeah

I mean newcomers to Brixton generally, not urban necessarily.

 

[Ms T]

Yeah

How about replacing the Albert with Burger King, or even better, Byron.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

ah, that's not fair. Brixton's lost enough pubs already

Lots of room in Granville Arcade though

 

[Badgers]

I would lose my Saturday job

 

[Badgers]

Anyway, someone cheer us all up by starting the Christmas Curry thread please

Sorry, have you been following me around to see how I treat these "newcomers" then? What a ridiculous thing to say. You haven't the first idea about how I interact with the people I meet.

 

[Ms T]

Anyway, someone cheer us all up by starting the Christmas Curry thread please

Will it be "old-school"?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Sod that. We need a Christmas presents thread, 'cos I'm totally stuck for ideas

 

[Badgers]

Will it be "old-school"?

It will be the same as ever

(I will be wearing my new hat)

I've explained what I think is off-putting, as have others, so I'm going to leave it there.

 

[Biddlybee]

It will be the same as ever

(I will be wearing my new hat)

I will be less drunk

 

[Ms T]

(I will be wearing my new hat)

Party hat?

 

[Ms T]

I will be less drunk

Noooo! (I've started a craft club curry thread, btw)

 

[Badgers]

Hurry up please

 

[Biddlybee]

Noooo! (I've started a craft club curry thread, btw)
