"Beware the hill when there be ice"

Because it fucking hurts.

When I lived at the top of Gispy Hill and as it was my nearest station, a near vertical decent with ice at winter meant sliding by the station at top speed to much amusement to fellow commuters and ending up in West Norwood.

This was the entrance path to the station solid ice with water on top

It's reopened again. The landlord is now the leasee and has re-negotiated the extortionate rent.

Gipsy Hill station's now looking pretty good after the year-long refurb. They have barriers now however which is a bit of a pain

Jeremy Deller's Sacrilege (bouncy Stonehenge) is in Crystal Palace Park today!

[tommers]

Yes. It feels a bit weird to be taking kids to "sacrilege!"

I also can't help but say it in a Brian blessed voice.

 

[tommers]

The queue is um... quite long.

Anyone been to Beer Rebellion yet? It's a proper beer place opposite Gipsy Hill Station, sounds good. Gonna check it out soon.

 

[twistedAM]

No, that's down a hill. If you're hungry though, try the new Turkish place a couple of doors along from Morley's. Massive portions and good food.

 

[Maggot]

Do you not go to places which are downhill Mr Twisted?

This is the Late Knights brewery bar/pub yeah? I've got to check it out soon. Their brewery is just down the road from me I believe.

 

[Maggot]

I believe so.

Nope, I live in the socalled Triangle and get to and from there by motorised transport. I have to move soon though, and may well end up at the bottom of one of the hills. If that happens I'll adopt a new policy of not going uphill. I'll miss a couple of the shops though and the 1am-ish last call at Patricks which really makes me yearn for Midwestern sports/dive bars.

Yeah, we went a while ago. Gets busy but cheap (ish) and proper beer. Nothing on a pump - all straight from the barrel, it's good.
