He doesn't, he lives down near Jamm

I shall just ignore him then. thanks for the tip.

 

[Vintage Paw]

God, this forum is so Brixton-centric



Welcome n00b

 

[LadyR]

can you ask him to renationalise the railways please? thanks. glad we got that one sorted.

I'll see what I can do

 

[Kanda]

Opposite McDonalds is Streatham!! Begone!

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Well I'm actually directly on the A205 - Streatham Place, opposite the McDonalds (classy location!)

So I'm on the join between Brixton Hill and Streatham Hill, and just choose to associate myself with Brixton rather than Streatham

Right next to the Crown and Spectacle then.

Hm, I'm afraid you can't pick and choose what you are, and you LadyR, are a St Reathamite

but we might let you join the Brixton Hill gang

Do you mean you're on the outer side of the South Circular?

If so, I'm afraid you're not allowed to post in the Brixton Forum, or associate yourself with Brixton Hill.



Oh, I see Kanda and MtM have beaten me to it.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

i'm on victoria street.
you don't work next door to the sainsbury do you?
if so, they're doing a nice spicy bean salad...

No, I'm next door to Scotland Yard. Maybe they do a nice spicy bean salad?

don't get me wrong, most of the civil servants I've worked with (including myself!) work really hard for not much money at all.....I'm just painfully aware that lots of people have the impression that we just sit about doing nothing all day!

but you do realise the difficulty we have here don't you. There's a few on these boards from Streatham. If too many people come from Streatham, they'll be demanding their own forum.

Maybe we could have a tug-of-war with the St Reathamites?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I'm just painfully aware that lots of people have the impression that we just sit about doing nothing all day!

Wonder where they get that idea?

Anyway, if you work in private office, you shouldn't have time to post on here

Ah...wasn't aware those few yards of road meant I'd be barred from this forum

 

[LadyR]

Private office is nice and quiet right now - recess and all that haven't heard a peep out of my Minister in over a week!

 

[quimcunx]

Correct. Kanda can't afford to associate with you, he's already practically Streatham.

Hm, I'm afraid you can't pick and choose what you are, and you LadyR, are a St Reathamite

but we might let you join the Brixton Hill gang

Incorrect. She's too nice for her own good.

Do you mean you're on the outer side of the South Circular?

If so, I'm afraid you're not allowed to post in the Brixton Forum, or associate yourself with Brixton Hill.

Correct. You can post on the transport forum though.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I'm based on Horseferry Road

Oh, I used to work there when I was in the Home Office and Northern Ireland Office.

Do you get the No. 3 to work?

 

[teuchter]

They can have their own forum if they want, as far as I am concerned.

At least then we know where they are.

Contain and control.


But I like the idea of a tug-of-war. We would have the advantage* as we'd be going downhill. They'd have to stop the traffic on the south circular though.



*Also, apparently quimcunx can lift a man ten times her own weight. So she would probably be quite good at tug-of-war.

 

[teuchter]

Ah...wasn't aware those few yards of road meant I'd be barred from this forum

Yup. Bye.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Ah, forgot about recess as I barely have anything to do with Private Office nowadays.

 

[LadyR]

Oh, I used to work there when I was in the Home Office and Northern Ireland Office.

Yeah it's a really handy bus that one. Or if I'm working at the Houses of Parliament I hop on the 159.

 

[quimcunx]

Perhaps we should have an annual Tug of War. Losers get put in that barrel outside Tile Giant.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Poor LadyR

Being kicked out already

LadyR - you may have noticed some of the trees on Brixton Hill looking a bit sorry for themselves. This is where quimcunx and teuchter have pissed on them to mark their territory

In fact, they got so carried away, one of them even fell down a few weeks ago

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Yeah it's a really handy bus that one. Or if I'm working at the Houses of Parliament I hop on the 159.

Yep, that used to be my regular bus when I worked in Whitehall. Unfortunately I'm now the Westminster end of Victoria Street so get a tube to St James's Park nowadays

Haha! I don't scare that easily! I'll still be hanging around - I'm damned if I'm going to be kicked off here for the sake of a few lanes of traffic!

For what it's worth, I haven't actually even ventured into Streatham yet!

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

There's always the 133 as well if there's no 159 or No. 3 in sight. That'll take you to Elephant where you can then get buses over the River

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

You LIVE in Streatham you, you... person with no sense of direction

One of the trees fell down? Or quimcunx fell down?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

One of the trees fell down? Or quimcunx fell down?

both probably

 

[quimcunx]

*Also, apparently quimcunx can lift a man ten times her own weight. So she would probably be quite good at tug-of-war.

It should probably be noted that once I've lifted the man ten times my own weight I can't do much other than put him down again.

I can carry a full, 22litre bottle of pure, spring, not-from-a-tap water up 3 flights of stairs though. Or at least I did once.

 

[quimcunx]

One of the trees fell down? Or quimcunx fell down?

Or you, maybe she meant you fell down.

I haven't fallen down since last Saturday and that I blame on the train floor.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I wonder if it LadyR falls down the Hill or has pissed on any trees?
