Tulse Hill news, chitter chatter and gossip

[Thimble Queen]

CK has dyed black hair, sometimes wild and big black specs. He got the name after he was getting some shit from a drunk customer who has calling him Clark fucking Kent and laughing. I was behind in the queue and spoke to him afterwards and tried to be nice. CK was really broad shouldered about it and we had a little laugh. It stuck after that... At least that's my version of the how he got the moniker.

Clark Kent is a young white man.

I've seen the new Asian one. Music notes tattooed on to his fingers?

Don't know, was too busy packing, earwigging, and trying not to cough to notice his fingers. Must have a closer look next time.

You must think the brown man is really fit to post about him rather just your famous likes

As I said, eyecandy. And too young for me.

Yes, him, he's cute. he asked me if I was ok this evening as you do...in my true blurting style said 'no, I'm not actually'. Poor, bleeder...I'm not very good at lying. I'd just had a slight altercation with a good friend 2 minutes before. All resolved for now (with said friend) but I feel bad, the guy was just doing his job.

If only Tulse Hill had more to offer...

 

[gaijingirl]

hahaha poptyping - you know everything about these dudes!

I'm heading to Deejays to find out where they've put my drugs in a minute... I'm sure I can find an excuse to go into CoOp and check out the action...

not sure I can take the excitement though... Tulse Hill rocks!

Aha I normally go there to get more wine. I'm quite friendly when I've has a drink *ohhh shame face*

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Some old school Co-op porn...

I bet the queuing system was far more orderly back then.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

I remember when it was all Somerfield around here

 

[Greebo]

I remember when it was all Somerfield around here

Huh - I remember when it was Safeway. Even then, the stock control in that branch was a bit hit and miss.

When would that have been....I think I remember Safeway there...

 

[Greebo]

Mid 90s.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Mid 90s.

Aye....I do remember...

...back then the Railway was like the Gloomy House of Comedown....a post club den of tired souls building up a new strength for the next evening of debauchery

 

[Maharani]

I remember the old railway. I went in once with my brother and flat mate, all ethnic minorities and were forced out after half a pint. Twas a very dark atmosphere indeed. Started drinking at the old Tulse after that which wasn't much better...

 

[Nanker Phelge]

bloomin' ethnics coming 'round 'ere....

 

[Maharani]

Every time I walk passed Knowles of XXXXXXX (wrong forum? Can't be bothered to change it now) the lights are always on but there's never anyone actually working in there, in fact there are a distinct lack of workers FULLSTOP

The bar is erected so do clearly some level of work is being done and admittedly I only walk passed about 3 times a week but it does seem to be progressing slowly and I'm worried it won't be open come the summer...I do keep abreast on their website but that's not helpful if the place still looks like a building site. The Punjabi guy that owns the homewares shop next door is always complaining about this same thing too...maybe it's just us Punjabis like to have a moan...news anyone?

i just read this on the Knowles of Norwood site and nearly choked on my shreddies:

"So excited for this to open! Appreciate it’s going to be hard to cater for everyone. Please can you try to offer something different/fun for the young professionals within West Norwood – there is quite a big crowd of us but most seem to head to Brixton or Balham for drinks (I guess for more variety) which is a shame!"

I did reply...

 

[Nanker Phelge]

bloomin' young professionals comin' 'round 'ere...

 

[Maharani]

I hope they don't start hanging around these here parts...

sounds better than it is now. and probably a shit load cheaper.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

They already have....some of them tried to run a pub!!!!

 

[Maharani]

Does anyone know if casa del whatsit (it really hasn't got a catchy name) is taking cards yet or is it cash only?
