Yep, that's me. However, I've been here since 1985 before yuppies like you started sanitising the place :p;)

I'm opening a bar.

"Chillax on the Hill"

It's got a ring to it, but I'm wondering whether to add "Wankers" to the end of it. With a comma, of course,

Tiling whilst drunk would probably be more productive, there's no grouting that.

Good food in Healthy Eaters fwiw, but they're Jamaican and unlikely to mek good roti. You're on safer ground with their generous patties and meals. They seem to have done well for themselves since opening which is pleasing.

More down towards you I'd happily recommend Real Taste and whatever Lick Finger is now called, both just on the parade of shops by the Hootahob. I can't say I've had a great experience in South Beach or whatever that R-21 (!?) is called on Brixton Hill
 
Just love the review for Iroko (almost like a stereotype!)
Firstly arrived at the venue with no greeting and was placed with 2 table each with 3 sits, despite I asked for a table of 6. Then had to put the two table together myself with my guests. Ordered starters that took 25/30mins to come. By the time that came the starters was cold. Everyone's food came slowly but was quoted 10/15mins. Two of guest main meal came without the rice and when the rice came it was when almost when we all that finished are meals. I asked waiter to take back the rice but he refused and was very rude about the removal of the rice despite it came 30mins after everyone finally got their meals. Was not asked if we even wanted more drinks and-were made to feel unwelcome.

And to top it off the card machine was not worked and we were not warned from the start and made us feel as through the card was decline due to no funds. When they discovered it was not work the waiter said it's not his fault and nothing he can do. To sum up the night the venue was under staffed and poor service and the quality of the food was not worth the price-list. The manager was aware of the unpleasant service and his comment was ' he blames it on the fact he was unstaffed'. There was only one waiter working that night. This is the worse restaurant I have been to and I was ashamed to take my guest there for my birthday. That will be my first and last time going to iroko!

I keep thinking I should try a takeaway from R-21. Not recommended then? How does it compare to Negril (which I really like)?

I really like Michael and crew. Tell me good news.

PM Minnie. She breakfasted there today. I'll know more in a bit.
 
I can't tell you good news I'm afraid.

:(

Cheers for the PM btw- I can't respond due to some weird browser issue. I'm stuck in text view with no respond button
 
Good to have you around paolo. I've lived here for four years myself now, and I can't imagine living anywhere else.

I've got no idea.

There's all this discussion about tiling, and I'm fairly sure there's a tile outlet near here.

Frankly, I'm beginning to feel lost. This isn't what they said zone two would be like. They said it would be different. Maybe horses. Or rabbits.

Brixton had a big tiling industry many years ago. The descendants of the original tilers have big properties on Brixton Hill.

There is still the White Horse.

The squirrels and foxes killed all the wabbits
 
My experience of R21 has been mixed tbh Twisted. One pattie (poor to average), a dumpling and a taste of someone else's fry fish. People more qualified on takeaway eats than me continue to disparage it compared to Real Taste, happy to take detours to the latter.

TBH I don't really put Negril in the same category. It's good caribbean influenced food and a nice place to eat, but it's not tending to serve the same clientele.

The giant traffic sign on the hill. It's a bit odd for London. I think of LA Story, and expect a lone man to be staring at it in awe, when it eventually says: "No queues in Streatham"

It's the A23 you know. A main artery into one of the world's most important metropolises metropolii cities.

I'd like to:

Go to the Ritzy: You can't not want to go anywhere that's called that.

Live here a lot longer. Someone is doing me a big favour at the moment, but I can see myself hanging around* if I get my shit sorted. It's nice.

* I don't mean in their flat. For the benefit of the tape. ;)

Tapes are good, as are quoted posts.

Do this in a lancashire accent. Hardware shop.

"Have you got any turps?"

"What kind of turps? Video turps or audio turps?"

With this level of humour, I can already see I'm going to be a big hit in this new "hood".
