Brixton news, rumours and general chat - October 2012

[gaijingirl]

Yeah it was kind of invite only late at night in there. Used to pop in about 2am.
I loved the veggie five dish they did.
And the coffee at Adam's Bakery is a bargain. A quid for a cup of strong black coffee. I go there most days.

oh yes yes.. the veggie five dish.... *mourns* they do a similar one at Adulis and I think Asmara but that Brixton Hill one was so much cheaper and they were really friendly - probably because we ended up eating there a lot... Do you remember what it was called?

I could go to the Post Office in Nisa on the way.

but they'll have a go at you

 

[twistedAM]

Fair enough. I was responding more to Twisted's post #1027 as he said he wants takeaway.

I just work round the corner and I know if I sit down for a meal then some prick will cause a mini-crisis and I'll need to go back to work.

And cut corners.

Word of advice- to avoid a mini-crisis, don't go to the Post Office in Nisa, on Brixton Hill.

They are corner cutting cunts and will have a go at you if you question them.

Not sure if I mentioned it. I think I did, but want to be sure.

 

[paolo]

Right with all this talk of food, I'm going flunch. But not the post office.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

And cut corners.

Then you're better off going to Cafe on the Hill for a lasagne and taking a nice leisurely stroll down Josephine Avenue and on to Helix Road and up to Elm Park, or getting bus up to Streatham Hill

No. I might ask them at Adam's but they're quite bitter about losing that place as the rent was so fucking high and were given no leeway on trying to grow the business.
I remember I had loads of mates over from Belfast one weekend for a party at the Windmill and they just ate there all the time and kind of used it as a social club for the weekend, as they'd never had food like that before and also the owners allowed them to bring in their own Buckfast (it was one of those weekends) even though they had a bar.

I hate going in there. I don't like Post Offices anyway but that one is grim.
Sometimes the Post Office staff serve in the shop itself. That's an unpleasant experience.

Lucky you.

 

[Badgers]

Pizza Hotline is good for pizza too

Not tried these. Hmm, must check out sometime.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Lucky you.

Maybe they look at you and see someone who is confrontational and never wrong so decide to have fun with you

 

[Griffter]

I need to get some corners cut this afternoon. Any ideas?

Onket may be able to direct you exactly to where to go

It doesn't look or sound like they enjoy it, tbf.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

That's because they're putting on their stern faces. Once you leave, they're high-fiving each other

People could be forgiven for thinking you don't enjoy much tbf.

He enjoys lasagne

Which corners?

If you fancy having a valuable item sent by post, and would like the Post Office staff to argue with you about which service you requested, then refuse to give you proof of postage stating the destination of the parcel, telling you to just write it on by hand, then when you notice that the weight on the receipt isn't correct, they tell you that they don't weigh parcels.

If you fancy that, I know somewhere that can help.

Really? Care to elaborate?

You are perceived by some posters as surly at time. Just saying.

Having met you I concur. However it does cast doubt on your opinion regarding the people at Nisa.

It's 2 (me and Onket) vs 1 (Minnie) on this matter. I consider it proven and closed.

Had to navigate around another fashion shoot going on in the Villaaaage today.

Yes, but how many times has Onket used Nisa PO compared to how many times I've used it?

This might run and run....

 

[Onket]

I have used it to send 32 parcels in the last month, according to my ebay record.

I have been more than patient with them.

But over how many visits?
