Brixton news, rumours and general chat - Sept 2013

[TruXta]

I enjoyed 'vibrant'

Edit:

But the two together suggests a dark scruffy alley that opens up into a veritable cornucopia of delightful fromage and bubbly, dahling.

Do you cycle? Then don't drink at the fucking Dogstar.

/had the duty manager and driver telling me to 'deal with it' this morning. so i am. stay tuned.

"Do you cross the road?" applicable too.

 

[pissflaps]

or drive, for that matter.

 

[TruXta]

or drive, for that matter.

Next time bring some caltrops.

I used to cycle from Brixton to Whitechapel in less time than it took by tube. Bit scary those roads, tho'.

Cycling from Whitechapel to south London, circa 2003, I thought the Rotherhithe tunnel would be a good shortcut.

I can still taste the pollutants

[Onket]

Edible bus stop.

Thanks, but I'm on a diet.

Hm. Landor Road. Not quite the same as closing Effra Road (previous Car Free Day) or the High Street (Reclaim the Streets), is it?

I fear those days are long gone. The Coldharbour Lane Car Free Day of 2000 was fantastic as was the Reclaim the Streets action in 98.

Feels like a different world now.

Did you ban Onket or did he want a time-out?

 

[editor]

One day ban.

 

[TruXta]

One day ban.

Ah I see now. Bit strong of young Onket that.

It was a little warm.

 

[Badgers]

This will lighten the mood

 

[pissflaps]

that's a pretty cool looking guy.

I thought El Panzon was Columbian - and anyway it's closed.

It's now La Cabaña that claims to be a South American Tapas Bar - see here. The people there say it's the same but a little bit different.

El Panzon used to be at the Hootenanny, then went into a partnership with La Cabana in the market but that went titsup (the relationship between the partners not the business which was doing fine). So it is back to being La Cabana, all associations with El Panzon (who is Irish) are over. El Panzon is doing outside catering and things like that but is for the time being without a permanent base.

 

[Gramsci]

This guy has a scary job and a big drill. He is working on Chartham Court.

Some of these guys are mountain climbers. They do this as there day job. More often seen in the city.

El Panzon was at the Dogstar for a while as well.

The champagne bar in the Village is advertising for waiting staff.

daytime? might give it a go

 

[leanderman]

daytime? might give it a go

At their prices (£60+ for a bottle of champagne) I doubt they will need any staff at all.

then maybe I could drink it all

 

[Onket]

Fuck off.

 

[TruXta]

Fuck off.

Yes, dear.

 

[Onket]

I was hoping you'd come up with a post that I could 'like'. How disappointing.

 

[Badgers]

Sadly the good people of Champagne + Fromage have not replied to my email. This leads me to believe that the service will be slow
