Brixton Beef.

The constant bickering between the same handful of people on this thread is fucking depressing.

Whilst I've probably contributed to it at times, I'm now making a concerted effort to stay out of it; can I politely suggest the rest of you (you know who you are) try and do the same?

I take it "bickering" means people raising points that you personally don't agree with or think are important?

 

[shifting gears]

Nope. It means bickering, baiting, and generally being provocative for the sake of it. And otherwise clogging up what should be an interesting local resource.

Pretty much spot on there, sf.

 

[pissflaps]

what? like posting up pictures of a tragic incident and pretending you're a 'news reporter?' get fucked, the pair of you.

 

[pissflaps]

instead of sending pissy letters to my inbox and hiding behind other posters comments, why don't you tell us all what you really think?

My lunch is from Brickers, I think:

In actual Brixton news, someone on Twitter asked me if there was a choir in Brixton that they could join.

And apparently there is, right here: https://twitter.com/electricbelles
They are an "All-New, All-Girl, All-Awesome Choir."

This is the reason why I don't post regularly in the Brixton forum. All this petty shit. Boring and useless.

I honestly don't care about the 'beef'. I just want to know about Brixton and its environs.

Sorry

It is an archive.

Sorry

Thank heavens for that. I can't bear people going on about Christmas when I haven't even been on my summer holiday yet.

It is standard practie to be reminded about the ignore function, if you've got any issues with posts by other people.

If you have not been on your summer holiday yet, that's going to be tricky this year!

Dragging already? Tut le tut.

They had a ruddy Christmas tree out at this hotel I was at on the weekend.

One of the pubs near us has signs up for Christmas and believe it or not a little table with some Christmas shit on it by the front door. I'd take a picture but I refuse to cross the threshold now until 2014

No one likes having their ethics and personal integrity questioned

'on the weekend' = American.

Ordinarily, yes, but this time tomorrow I should be landing at Dalaman.

The Hamilton on Railton Road has only recently taken down its Christmas decorations.

Anyone heard anything or know anything about this?-

In my opinion posts about unspecified "incidents" with no further useful information clog up the thread, but are not particularly worth complaining about. However when they include a pointless photo of the aftermath of whatever the incident (in which presumably someone was at least seriously injured) was, I am going to say something because I don't think it's a good idea to post those photos. There was a time a couple of years back when someone posted a photo of the aftermath of a traffic accident on Brixton Hill and many posters rightly complained. Do you have any views on what is acceptable to post photos of or do you feel that discussion of this should be censored so as to make reading the thread more convenient?
