They had chickens too, and turkeys

They did!

An instagrammable spot is just a way of saying you can take nice photos there.

Whatever you say, genius.

 

[editor]

you've turned it into a living

Have I really? Perhaps you could tell me how much I'm making from it and detail all my income streams that are generated from the website. Please. I insist.

I don't think it's as simple as that.

This is a good example of ad hominem.

It's not actually. But in your never ending quest to disrupt threads and score points you are being thoroughly disingenuous with your stupid comment about Instagramable photos. Can you stop now please?

 

[elmpp]

it is honestly unbelievable that someone who

As i've said in the past, running a listings website of Brixton events makes you as complicit as anyone. Sneering about people instagramming is hypocritical

I take back the "make a living" part though - your "income streams" come from elsewhere since you've chosen not to work

You've been warned and banned so many times about your conduct here, yet you still come back just to launch into unpleasant, unfounded and disruptive personal attacks that have nothing to do with the discussion. So you're banned.

"Vibrant" in the first sentence.

Of course. That word is like hipster catnip to property developers, tourists and on-trend entrepreneurs.

Brixton has been Vibrant for over 10 years...

Wrong sort of vibrancy.

Now they need to put up a programme of the music they're playing

 

[editor]

LOL

we've got a splash park - in Myatts Fields. Not as big as Tamworth but not bad. Perhaps Lambeth could instead invest in Ruskin & Streatham paddling pools which are basically maintained (just) by crowdfunding and it would be nice if Brockwell water play was more reliable too.

and why Agnes Riley gardens in particular?

Jane is an interesting character - should be sound but she's a party loyalist through and through

Yes, she is a very decent character, even though I'm not from her particular wing of the party. Her portfolio as a Cabinet member was a tough ask. I wish she could sometimes use her decent ideas to break outside of the tribal prism that contains her.

Same for most of the Cabinet tbh.

I'd Iove to see something like this on Brixton road, realise not practical bit something needs to be done to reduce the pollution.

Petrol and diesel cars are banned from east London roads to tackle toxic air

 

[editor]

Not for me but others may be interested Free adult handstand workshops at Brixton’s Effra Social, every Thursday night

Same thing happened at Woolies iirc. Until H&M steamed in. Trouble is we are running out of H&M type businesses. Maybe Mike will open a House of Fraser.

If it was some £20 a head hipster affair I'd be far less inclined to promote it, but the woman sent me a very nice email (there's no swivel-action Hoxton PR agency behind the venture, which has more or less become the norm recently) and was very enthusiastic so I thought I'd help her out. Truth is, I've always fancied being able to do proper handstands - but not enough to go along to the Effra Social.

Looks like a very instagrammable thing to me I’m afraid.

Can you stop being a twat just for a second instead of trying to resurrect tedious point scoring digs? Thanks. No need to answer by the way. I'd prefer it if we stuck to Brixton as the topic.

I noticed that Dexter Adventure play ground was open today as the was gate open - only about 4 children in there though. Couldn't see any adult supervision going on, but perhaps they were indoors.

I guess when the ULEZ properly comes in (in 2020?) then there’ll be a drastic reduction in polluting vehicles as Brixton road will be within it
