Coldharbour Lane, Brixton - news and updates

More to the point the hairdresser will genuinely listen to you if you have any particular concerns or ideas about how you want your hair done, and will offer good advice.
I clam up when a hairdresser asks what I want. Er... a bit like it is now, but shorter. And more handsome. If they say anything about not being a miracle worker, they don't get a tip.
 
I have very thick hair so if it cut short or a bob, they need to take out the weight. A good hairdresser will leave me with a haircut that grows out well and not turn me into a pudding bowl cut after one week.

(I don't like going to the hairdresser but I appreciate a good cut).

I just shelled out for a cut at a very well-regarded West End salon, and it's one of the best I've ever had even though the cheapest stylist did it. The only person who managed to take the weight out without giving me staircase layers, a mullet or a mushroom. :D Definitely worth it and I won't go again for three months.
 
in the old days I would have gone to it, nowadays I lie in bed moaning about the bloody noise :)
We've got a new posh neighbour who wanted to complain to the Residents' Association about a single, one-off party that took place in the block on a Saturday night a few weeks ago. It wasn't even that loud ad finished at a very civilised 2am. I can't imagine what she made of last night's mega sound system antics (although the party host had done everything right in my book by dropping off leaflets in people's doors saying the party was going to be happening and everyone was invited).

Be different it was every week, but everyone is entitled to the occasional party.

don't get me wrong, I have no objections to parties and god knows I was involved in fair few in the late '80's early '90's, it's more thinking about my younger self despairing at the curmudgeon I have become about my sleep being disturbed
 
must have been the night for it as there was live music and a sound system in the arches off Valentia Place which went on till 6 this morning

I went by there at around 1am. Was walking down Brixton Station road. Heard the noise and wondered what it was as there are no clubs there.

It was in one of the arches off Valentia Place. There was a security guard standing by gate so it must have been some kind of official party going on.
 
There was several cops outside the barrier block just now - one was looking over what may have been a stolen motorbike while others were standing guard over a trio of knives that were laid out on the path.
 
The brewery name is S.A Damm,
Estrella is one of their beers
their best one imho is Voll Damm*
which is a kind of Spanish spesh

Anyone familiar with the state of play at the Angel?

I thought they were having a soft launch yesterday - but the the furnishing and decor were incredibly sparse considering the amount of time spent on alterations.

Today it seems shut again - though there is a large pizza oven in a highly visible spot (adjacent to the Valentia Place side window!!) Haven't seen a pizza oven like that since my Inter-railing days in Milan in the 1970s. But then I have never been to a sour dough pizza place either.

Yes, I went in there on Friday and tried out a couple of their pizzas. They're opening on Wednesday. The interior is on-trend stripped down, bare wall minimalism.

You should try Pellone at Herne Hill. Sourdough pizzas from £4.50.
 
Has it changed hands? I don't recognise any of those people. I love Jimmy's chips. But I could never get Rock. Even though they have it on the board. Haven't tried for a while. Maybe I should try again.
They are the original Jimmy's people. They sold it to another lot who - they say - did a poor job of it, so they came back and the chips are indeed fab.

Arh. Maybe it was the old lot I know. Will have to give it another try then. Fingers crossed they will have Rock. Hate it when they try and fob you off with cod.
