I used to have a Piaggio scooter and they have this design fault whereby the fuel line is accessible by simply sticking your hand underneath the bodywork. As a result the model is regularly targetted by fuel thieves. I didn't care about the £7 worth of fuel but every time they did it they'd break some seal inside and between the parts and the minimum labour charge imposed by the garage, it'd cost nearly £100 to put right.
I got done about three times in 9 years, and every time it was a major (and costly) pain. I seriously considered glueing razor blades to the underside of the bodywork.

I sold my ET4 shortly after moving to central Brixton because it invariably had drill bits sticking out of the ignition in the mornings.
Some fucktard stole the Golf badge off the bonnet of my VW parked in HH the other day - took one off another nearby Golf as well. I still can't figure out why.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
They are thieves?

They're the Beastie Boys?
Well they would only be thieves _after_ they took the badge, so it doesn't really count as incentive to take it in the first place. A new badge only costs about £11 - maybe they're flogging it on eBay and I'll be buying my own badge back when I finally get around to replacing it.

Boring! Get a different badge- a tongue in cheek Lamborghini... Beastie Boys... Or more usefully a clock like Flava Flav (I think)

Pub seemed unusually empty late this afternoon. Has everyone gone to Glastonbury?

Otc seems to be running on private parties now.
Lots of Reej people are away this weekend though.

I was out for a walk in Brockwell the other night and spotted an ET burnt out at the far south west corner, near the top of Brockwell Park Gardens.
In other years, some pizza scooters etc have been targeted and then left burnt out - just because.
Saw this on the Herne Hill forum newsletter, potentially good news!...
"Hot off the press
We have it on good authority that Dulwich Estates have now agreed terms with a pub operator for the Half Moon, and that there will be no residential accommodation above the pub. We won’t find out who the operator is until the lease agreement is signed. But once we know, we can start to lobby for live music to return to the venue – watch this space…"

Do Antic and Dulwich Estates have history?

Not that I know of. Just that that keep expanding and they don't have one here.

I'd be reasonably happy if it was Antic. Their places are generally OK. At least they're recognisably pubs which is better than the 'more or less a restaurant' type of pub that I think is probably the alternative.

I'd be happier if it was the last landlord back simply on the experience of two of the nights he put on in the backroom.
This is despite his terrible kitchen revamp which got rid of pizzas and bringing in under cooked chicken.

They're ok. I really like The Sun. Getting a bit tired of their trendy on the cheap make overs. Agree it would be better as a pub with good food than a restauranty thing. I'd rather it was independent but that is risky as you never know what you are going to get!

I wonder if I'll ever get my hand sewn Herne Hill Stitch and Bitch sign back that we used to hang on the snug door?
I really miss the Half Moon, I felt sad walking past it yesterday.

beers great but its a shit view, the old citroen is the best bit. When I went people were only talking to their friends and no one talked to us, but perhaps that's 'cos we're weird. And I'm never going to use that portaloo.

It's getting painted at the end of the month (the wall of saz which you look at) so will be a bit less car yard. but obviously still next to a car yard. Had a good chat with some people from space-makers the other day too.
It's still not meant to be a swanky pub though - it's a tap room for a brewery. At least the £ goes straight to a local couple & not punch / Greene King etc.
New portaloo is a bit more space age!

I got chatting to some nice couple from Manchester whose daughter owns it.
I'm not sure if the view bothers me, but maybe that's back to the Rubberbandits hipster or hobo where it's trendy to hang out in the shit part of town.

So yesterday we took the Germans out for breakfast. We went to the Railway who were not doing breakfast but instead offered us the BBQ which was some overpriced £11 (ffs) for a burger crap so we went to Cafe Castello.
Three of us ordered the huge breakfast which turned up promptly, whilst myself and poptyping ordered the smaller breakfast which did not turn up before everyone else had finished eating so myself and Pop walked out in a massive huff and went to the Tulse Hill Cafe which was OKish.
We should have gone to Electric Cafe.
