Brixton news, rumours and general chat

‘None of my friends know that I have… a title,’ she says in a low, seemingly classless voice. ‘I have a word in front of my name. But I don’t ever use it, ever. I’m just, like, a normal person.’

... Lady Venetia tells us in her exclusive interview with Tatler.

 

[lang rabbie]

God, that article was nauseating

I should have known when I tweeted "I read the Tatler feature so you don't have to" that you would all ignore me.

Sorry couldn't help myself but look up the original article.

There is a certain level of aristocrats in this country that are so privileged they can afford to be nice liberal non conventional people.

They just do not have to worry about losing this. Sure she is perfectly nice person.

Its media like the Tatler that annoy me. As they are one of the ways this myth of a aristocracy who are just like us is perpetuated.

Why oppose a class based society when nice aristocrats like this live "paycheck to paycheck". And of course have had difficult childhoods.

The Earl of Cromer took issue with some of this in his letter to The Times. I was rather interested in how the lady's grandmother transitioned from being a rocket scientist in Shanghai to an acupuncturist in Taunton.
Maybe somebody can help on this?

Hootananny was unbelievably packed last night while the Prince Albert's sound system sounded exactly a shitty transistor radio (I suspect because the DJ was redlining the desk to fuck).

Is the art shop above Kingshield pharmacy still there?

 

[editor]

Phillip Normal appears to have fucked off out of the Village.

Is the art shop above Kingshield pharmacy still there?

I believe it closed down a while back but I've not checked.

 

[nick h.]

He [Philip Normal] was never really there. He just had a demoralized and put upon employee.

 

[BusLanes]

I believe it closed down a while back but I've not checked.

At least a couple of months

Apparently there's a 'Cosy Inn' somewhere in the building fronted by the Enish Restaurant at 330a Coldharbour Lane. Yours for just £230/£250 a night. Hopefully earplugs will be provided when there's an event going on in the restaurant.

The Brixton Inn, London, UK

The Brixton Inn is located in the Lambeth district of London, 5.3 km from Victoria Train Station, 5.4 km from Waterloo Station and 5.

Maybe he blames his landlord for charging rent.

Sorry, what are you on about?

 

[friendofdorothy]

Maybe he blames his landlord for charging rent.

Maybe his potential customers recall what a nasty racist piece of work he turned out to be.

That certainly stopped me ever setting foot in the place.

And I didn't rate the shit overpriced teeshirts

 

[story]

Some wanker in the cafe in Streatham has just told me there were riots in Brixton last night. "Gangs rioting knife crime riot police outside Morley's"

He's now talking loudly to his missus about what a terrible awful place Brixton is, the filth and the drugs and the danger etc. We're a single small step from overt bigotry and a gammony tirade.

He's shitting on my good mood tbh

 

[story]

Can't see anything in the news so I highly doubt his report. Can anyone elucidate?

I heard Champagne and fromage ran out of morbier, it’s possible this triggered it.

 

[story]

I've upgraded him from wanker to arsehole. And moved to another table.

Poke poke prod prod, trying to goad me into some kind of argument. I told him to stop shitting on my home town, he's entitled to his opinion but has no right to impose it on me.

 

[Tulster218]

upgraded

We need to discuss your hierarchy of insults.

I considered "downgraded" but on reflection it seemed that the towering pile of dog shit he was shovelling around merited upwards movement. He can be king of his own steaming pile, knee deep in sucking hot shit while futilely believing he's winning at something.

I was around and didn't see anything

Yes. Saw you photo and went to see it and someone has deliberately defaced it.

There are others of these around. They portray journalists. Mainly Al Jazeera who are on the ground risking their live to report the ongoing assault by IDF on the people of Gaza.

Picture from Shoreditch . This is the Al Jazeera journalist whose family were killed by IDF bombing. He had moved them to what IDF said was safe area.
