The Rest is Noise pub to close

[Kanda]

I realise I'm a bit late in saying this but to RaverDrew - Do you think it's ok to be prejudiced towards a group of people because of their social class and the way that they choose to dress? You may think your beloved Goose pub was inclusive but how would you have reacted if a bunch of people wearing skinny jeans and sporting 'daft' haircuts had walked in. Would you have written them off as ‘artfags’? Personally I only have problems with a person if they are arrogant or abusive rather than having a problem with them because of how they dress or what subculture they supposedly fit into and right now I have a problem with your comments.

Wanky hipsters apparently.. it's not just Raverdrew that coins these terms. This is the frontline you hear!!!!! defending brixton from them!!! Argh!!! Chaaaarge!!!!

it's sooooooo funny cos it true.....I never do any cool, funky stuff, so can't be blamed for any of this shit

Federation etc etc??

Federation is not even slightly hipster - they don't play trendy music, the staff aren't hipsters, and you'd be hard pressed to describe its interior decor as "cool" either. But they do serve very good coffee.

I'm generalising. About the whole new bit of Brixton popping up back there.. and the worries about wanky hipsters...

Do you really think you'll get a sensible answer from me by asking such a pointlessly loaded question ? Really ?

You may think your beloved Goose pub was inclusive but how would you have reacted if a bunch of people wearing skinny jeans and sporting 'daft' haircuts had walked in.

I would have pointed them in the direction of The Prince Albert most probably.

Would you have written them off as ‘artfags’?

See the answer to your first question above...

Cool story bro

I went for a stroll through the market yesterday; it was as if the internet had gone to dine in Brixton. Made me yearn for a greasy spoon.

Well, as long as you're blaming yourself along with everyone else we should get on just fine.

Dunno the Gresham and I was tempted by the Phoenix but I had a couple of bags of stuff so I went back to SW2 and Cafe on the Hill.

Genius Drew.

High five.

I'm trying to remember the name of that place too - it's in Market Row, yes? Solid, old fashioned kinda place, but sadly a little meat-tastic to tempt me in much.

 

[editor]

I think it's called Ergens. I've got some pics of it somewhere.

Edit - let's make this a separate thread as it might be useful for others....

Ergens hipster alert. I produced a pilot tv show for the BBC years ago that had a character named Ergen as the hipster comedians who wrote it used to eat their hungover breakfast in there every weekend.

yes it's true I am a wanky hipster trying to take over Urban75 with my 45 posts. I used to live in Hoxton but I moved to Brixton when I heard it was an up and coming area and The Rest is Noise was going to be there. I'm coming to your house to paint ironic art on your walls soon. I'm inviting all my trendy media type friends to join me on my Twitter campaign for the gentrification of Urban75. No one is safe!

*readies walls for ironic artwork and accompanying ironic installation
*adjusts oversized wacky glasses
*gets iPhone4 ready to post up the video to YouTube, Twitter, Facebook AT THE SAME TIME
*sets Twitter status to 'crowdsource'
*hops on fixed wheel bike to stylishly pedal around Brixton

Went down Strathleven Road yesterday on my way to Acre Lane. Not been down there road for years and years. When did all those new flats appear?

Sometime in the 1990s, IIRC. They are, or were, mostly sheltered housing.

Edited for you. You need to keep in tune with what the young pros are saying.

Oh, why did I think sheltered housing would be more... I dunno... secure, ie. more like a gated community or something?

Haha, if you're who I think you are, I can connect you to these people in two, possible three easy steps!
