[Badgers]

MinxGate didn't go public though

It was massive on MySpace, how did you miss it?

 

[Manter]

I have seen lots of signs, but no signs of life, at the Nigerian restaurant/gallery/theatre/rehearsal space

I saw someone outside last night, and said 'oh, when are you opening?' He looked me up and down and went back inside.

So that's me told then....

Down to Onket and TwistedAM then

Down to Onket and TwistedAM then

I'll stick to drink surveys

Have you been yet? We need to know what lagers they have

 

[Frumious B.]

I sent a parcel at the Nisa PO this afternoon. Almost no queue, and the lady at the counter was super-slick and charming as usual. If they had three of her at the main post office the queue would be shredded. Onket, I find it hard to believe you have grounds for criticising her. I agree that her sidekicks are bloody useless - maybe you could find out her shift patterns?

 

[Ms T]

They were trying to film The Apprentice outside the Lido today - even though they'd applied for permission and been refused. I think they got thrown out of the park eventually.

 

[Badgers]

Good

Between my bloody client, my bloody fiancé and my bloody boiler, tonight may be a lost cause :-(
Drinking alone in your house is fine, right? No cause for concern....?

It's a slippery slope Manter. Don't do it

 

[Manter]

would drinking alone in the corner of the pub be OK?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Yes

 

[Manter]

Yes

I'll leave a note on the door for the plumber

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I'll leave a note on the door for the plumber

Invite him for a pint and he may give you a discount

 

[Manter]

I do like the way your mind works....

 

[Brixton Hatter]

From a friends facebook...
Lambeth council in there bid to ease in the well heeled cupcakers decided yesterday to move on all buskers, incense sellers, preachers, etc from outside the tube and Iceland

The sanitisation continues

How can you move on the preacher? Like him or not, he aint committing any crime. Freedom of speech and all that. Hopefully this was a one-off whilst the council welcomed some dignitary or something. Good to hear the steel band was back today.

Incense man has been there for years and years

or was it incense table?

 

[Brixton Hatter]

Not tried these. Hmm, must check out sometime.

Yeah Pizza Ring is alright - me and Mrs Hatter usually use them if we're getting a pizza. I think they're best on the price/quality combination, and they consistently arrive within 30 mins and still really hot.
I first used them about 7 years ago when my mate who lived just down from Pizza Ring on Josephine Avenue regularly ordered from them. She was a fan of their "Honey Moon" pizza which has cheese, honey and cream on it ...which sounds a bit random, but is in fact really good, even for a committed savoury-addict like myself.

I quite liked pizza ring, have had a few of those. Garlic Meat Lover Pizza
(garlic sauce, pepperoni, salami & smoked bacon) was my default.

Is Pizza Hotline the same place?

How the fucking fuck can they do that? Nobody wants them to do that. And the cunts are supposed to work for US. How can we stop them?

Oh, Pizza Hotline! I thought you meant Pizza Ring

Pizza Hotline is the one in Herne Hill yeah? On the corner of Dulwich Road/entrance to Brockwell Park near the rail bridge? If so, yeah we used to use them when we lived in Railton Road but that years ago now, no idea if it's still the same people. They used to be good though.

Drinking alone at home needn't be a bad thing, OTOH drinking to blot your feelings out when already angry or upset can be. Don't ask how I know.

Better hope the client, bloody fiance or blood boiler doesn't get him angry or upset then

Incense Man has been there since forever, incense table is a newcomer (in the last 5 years or so).

TBF he often is committing a crime - ranting about homosexuality.
I have a lino cut of him on my wall entitled "The Worst is Yet to Come".

Isn't that Mighty Wanderer?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

And incense table is just an excuse to hand out leaflets
