Brixton news, rumours and general chat - October 2012

She sat on the very edge of BV so as not to be too tainted by hipness.

Well KFC is right at the extreme edge I suppose

 

[Badgers]

I can't go there and eat while he doesn't

He?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

He?

Him indoors

Timeout:

I want to cry.

I've generally stopped posting up about some of the interesting places and things I really like around Brixton now.

Yes. It is standard now to pay online, print your own stuff and just drop it off. Several people on here have said that's what they do.

For some reason, I thought Post Office people were against this, as it means you pay online & not via the counter, which means it doesn't show up as a sale for them, then the Post Office looks unpopular & gets lined up for closure - even when there's stacks of people using it to post parcels from.

But if - as I'm finding, too - they won't fill in the postcode for the proof of postage, it's going to be what I end up doing.

I don't have any sticky labels though - does it work if you just print onto plain paper & sellotape it to the parcel .

Because himself doesn't really like foreign or fancy food and would consider £10 for a burger and chips a rip-off. (He's little idea how much prices have gone up since he lost his memory)

As I can't eat on my own (one of my social phobias), I can't go there and eat while he doesn't

I'd happily meet you.

I do feel I have to warn virgins that it's a bit full on and arrange to meet outside bodyshop to spare them having to hang about outside. It can be quite overwhelming.

Conversely an old landlady on Ferndale road, near the DoE told me of a neighbour who claimed to friends she lived in Clapham and would make them go to CN and walk from there to hers so they would not suspect.

We had a lodger who never told her parents she lived in Brixton, to the extent of giving them the wrong postcode. She always got her birthday cards several days late as a result.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I'd happily meet you.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I'm quite tempted to down to Brixton right now. I just can't handle this drilling/hammering any longer

 

[quimcunx]

yeah, you two should do lunch at BV.

If you can find somewhere that does Pad Thai and lasagne and chips.

 

[Greebo]

Are you dubious about the meeting or the "happily" bit?

Both then?

No lasagne though.

Both then?

[Minnie_the_Minx]

No lasagne though.

Phoenix Cafe might do lasagne

I thought that but asked them once and they said it made no difference. Maybe they count how many they handle? Or they might not have undertsood my question!

Yes, just print it off and stick it on with tape.
