So these people have applied for a premises licence for the old Phoenix cafe.

I think were going to need a 'peak chicken' thread with this and Soho House's Chicken Shop opening in Piano House, plus Chicken Liquor in the market.

It is disappointing that none of these entertainment venues are proposing to provide "wrestling entertainment".
Not saying that wrestling is necessarily desirable, but I have been to venues (abroad) where acrobatics and conjuring were provided to general delight.
Who do people imagine is the "Premises Supervisor" operating out of a redacted address controlled by Westminster licensing? Or is this a mistake - young Nathan having put Westminster when he meant Lambeth?
Fancy Funkin Chicken Ltd is a start-up (or at least newly acquired and registered as a company under that name by the 2 current directors on 26th August 2015).
All this said I expect they and the customers from Whitbread's Premier Inn may find mutual solace.

There is nothing to find out (yet). Under the new "relaxed" ruled introduced by arch-socialist Gordon Brown they don't have to file accounts for two years - and even then can probably take advantage of the "small company" provision.
"Small companies can prepare and file simpler, less detailed accounts than those required by large and medium companies.
The requirements for companies subject to the small companies’ regime are set out in Parts 15 and 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Further information on the detailed format and content of accounts for small companies can be found in the relevant regulations.
The Companies Act 2006 and regulations also set out what the directors’ report of a small company must contain. Such a report does not have to contain a business review or a statement as to the amount that the directors recommend be paid by way of dividend. If the company has taken advantage of the small companies’ exemption in preparing the directors’ report it must contain a statement above the director’s or secretary’s signature to that effect."

I went to the organising meeting to set up "Reclaim Lambeth" at the Tate library on Saturday ( ended up in Windrush sq.)
Good turnout of people representing local groups and Unions.
The next meeting will be 4th June at same time 1pm. Venue to be decided. All welcome.
There was decision to build for a Reclaim Lambeth demo/ event on 25th June.
Idea behind Reclaim Lambeth is to build on campaigns around libraries and housing that affect the whole of Lambeth not only Brixton.

I went down with a friend and got some cake and tea. Run by members of Brixton Housing Coop. Nice people.
Given that now anti Semitism is being redefined as opposing actions of the government of the State of Israel wanted to show my support.

At first glance, I thought the banner on the railway bridge read, 'impregnation centres are barbaric'.

The irony of a Nathan PATTIE not running a burger joint!
Not a lot to see here:
FANCY FUNKIN CHICKEN LIMITED - Filing history (free information from Companies House)
looks like he is involved with Pix, the tapas 'chain'. I like Pix.

This stuff?
A turn of the 20th century Scottish IPA brought back to life and made to be drunk in quantity! Spicy resins, apricots, tangerine zest and a bit of honey graham cracker. Low in alcohol, with loads of hop flavors, finishing dry with mouthfilling, ripping pithy tannins. Something hoppingly different for you IPA fans out there!

Oh, you've misread my post! I was just using a 'witty' but 'meme-ic' misspelling of 'more' to make a slightly sarcastic point that there's yet another booze shunting venue opening up in Le Villaaaage. But Moar IPA does sound nice.

Lambeth has named the 'Community engagement consultants' for two of its estate regeneration projects and the name is a full on buttom-pushing, on trend team: Make:Good. They "believe in meaningful processes of local participation, bringing people together to collaborate on the future of an area and its built environment." They're so out-there wacky that even their dog is featured in the 'our team' page.
Our Team : make:good
Zany!

I assume you saw the sex-change Tempest on BBC2 a month or so back.
That would have been very Oval House 20 years ago

To be quite honest it probably was - if you don't mind an interpretation which radically changes the "tone" of the original.
As it was shown after midnight and 2 hours long. I am afraid I only managed the first half hour. Since I didn't stay the course I can't say if was a satisfying version as a whole. But that was the fault of my biological clock, not the film.
Helen Mirren as Prospero(a) was a bit disconcerting compared to say the ultimate Prospero of the elderly Sir John Gielud. But Peter Greenaway's film Prospero's Books is a major distortion as all the characters are played by Prospero himself.
With regard to the film under discussion, the director roped in quite a starry cast The Tempest - BBC Two
I remember Derek Jarman's Tempest with affection. That is probably the film version I would recommend out of the ones I have seen.

cross posting from the bus events thread -
there will be aged buses on the streets of Brixton again this Saturday (14 May) - a small scale (6 buses or so) operation of late 1940s RTW type buses on the old route 95, Southwark Bridge - Brixton - Streatham - Tooting. Timetable (opens as PDF - and suject to the usual disclaimers) here
These will carry anyone who wants to travel (subject to space being available) on a free basis. (There may be a few additional buses running on 'invited guests only' basis - it's a licensing thing.)
This is to mark 50 years since Brixton garage's route 95 was the last in London to be operated by RTW type buses.
RTWs were built in 1949 / 50 as a variant of the 'RT' family of buses (the generation before Routemasters) - by London standards, a smallish batch of only 500 was built. At that time, the operation of 'wide' - i.e. 8 ft wide rather than 7 ft 6 - needed specific police approval on a route by route basis.
By the 60s, longer / wider buses were allowed, and the busiest central London routes got new Routemasters which had more seats and - from the drivers' perspective - had power assisted steering.

Will people just be able to hail them and pile on? or have you got to book or get on at the termini? I've got to get from brixton to streatham on sat afternoon - will I be able to get on one of these?
