Caught a scumbag thief in the act at the Albert last night. I saw him dipping his hand into someone's jacket when I was doing the sound. He was a big fella but I was so fucking annoyed, I jumped out, grabbed his hand and asked what the fuck he was doing, before asking him to get the fuck out. A bit of back up was needed in the end - he did the usual cod-indignant "are you accusing me of being a thief bro'?" bullshit - but that's one scumbag (and his mate) on a life ban from the Albert.

Mind you, it was the same old story: the jacket had been left on a chair while its owner was dancing way out of eyeshot of the thing.

This fellow!

His column marginally less bad than Tyler Brûlé's, which it sits next to, and which I assumed was a spoof until I learnt that Brûlé actually exists.

Apparently so but isn't it hideous? Makes me feel depressed just looking at its blandness.

Ideally, when this pair clear out of Brixton - predictably they are selling through Foxton's - they'll take their crappy plastic box with them.

It's an oppressive, oversized and intimidating building that recalls the English castles in north Wales or those of the Crusaders in the Levant.

Would you say there was more of that sort of thing these days, or less?

Well done for stepping in.
 
Heard that the sound of Keane blasting out at nearby stallholders from the posh vintage store in Market Row proved a bit much for one passer by who took deep offence at the racket, and loudly and robustly questioned their contribution to the area.

No pics? Losing your touch. :(
 
A girl got hit by a car outside the Dogstar last night, but from what I gather she wasn't seriously hurt, despite the car ending up with a big dent from the impact. :(
 
Now there seems to a sort of Urban75 beer, I think editor should now move into the barsnack business and start selling baby flesh to hipsters.
 
I have built it up too much. Now it is just in the fridge mocking me.

Might save it for the opening of the Winterval forum.

It has no best before / use by date so I might save it for my 500k post. If I die of hops poisoning then I will sue the brewer and use the money to buy the Brixton Spud-U-Like franchise :)
