[belboid]

And Thursday's Child isn't bothered until tomorrow.

tho they do show a strange Fascination for Young Americans.

And Thursday's Child isn't bothered until tomorrow.

Or the next day.

yeh yeh but now there's popcorn in the offing i think we should find out more about how much, when and indeed where.

Golden Years ahead...

 

[Pickman's model]

Golden Years ahead...

i set 'em up and you knock 'em in

 

[Spymaster]

I've written back to ask them what the “month of planned free community activity” entails.

Why not write back thanking them for renovating the mural for nothing and dishing out free popcorn, you Rebel Rebel?

 

[belboid]

Golden Years ahead...

Brilliant!

Will you Be My Wife?

 

[Sea Star]

Brilliant!

Will you Be My Wife?

If you could put up with a girl who was Born In A UFO

Beauty and the Beast, innit?

I could always start A New Career In A New Town. It may not work out, but it'd be a Fantastic Voyage

They're just a bunch of Kooks!

 

[leanderman]

The publicity worked. I just bought some Propercorn. It's OK

Probably the plan all along. They've even got free publicity out of editor on Brixton Buzz.

They'll be dancing in the street!

 

[Rushy]

You have to admire the Labyrinth ine strategies of PR companies.

 

[belboid]

at this point, I have to call Time

If the plan was to get locals to hate you so much that you're forced to apologise on social media and take half the advertising down - yep,bang on, job done.

They caved in very quickly, I'm surprised they didnt "held-en" a bit longer tbf

 

[editor]

I don't know what in the world they were thinking of, but it's clear that they felt a sense of doubt after all.

 

[editor]

Community popcorn.

Hang on to yourself, but that's not what has happened. They've had 100 times more publicity than they'd have got if the installation went up unnoticed. This is not America, it's Brixton, and they'll be remembered as the company who listened to the locals, gave out free popcorn, and renovated a much loved mural!

 

[bi0boy]

They were on Dragons Den but didn't get any money iirc. It's just fucking popcorn.

Not sure what Brixton you're referring to, but everyone I know in Brixton thinks they're a bunch of arrogant cunts.

 

[cuppa tee]

is there any truth in the rumour that the bloke taking the ad down got a bit over enthusiastic and he wore a hole in the mural

 

[Spymaster]

Not sure what Brixton you're referring to, but everyone I know in Brixton thinks they're a bunch of arrogant cunts.

That seems unlikely, but even if true 'everyone you know in Brixton' are probably about as relevant as life on Mars in the overall scheme of this. Propercorn have had a great result here!

 

[editor]

I heard the workers singing along:

I still don't know what I was postering on
And my paste was running low
A million little popcorn pics
and every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the paste was not so sticky
So I turned my brush to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the mural
I'm much too daft to take that test

It's more certainly more relevant than your opinion on the subject.

That's a bit aggressive.
