Tell me something about Brixton that'll make me paranoid

I think you'll find you're talking out of your ungrammatical backside on that one. 'My case rests' is perfectly good English and need be followed by nothing.

A) You are wrong and
B) I never questioned his granma, I questioned his semantics.
 
At the Cannabis Festival has been cancelled, it's bound to be bright and sunny in Brixton this weekend, so its BBQ time. It's so good to see that Ratunta has strolled into the trap...

I can't find accurate timings for a jerk pit version, but here's an old-fashioned American recipe for...

Smoked Troll

One Troll - approximately 400#
42 bulbs of garlic
30 gallons of BBQ Sauce
10 gallons tequila
Juice of one lime
Salt and Pepper to taste

Skin and de-fat troll. Remove innards (may be used for gravy)

Shove a large stick up its butt. Keep shoving until it comes out the mouth with plenty of room to spare. Cut slits in all muscles and stick one clove of garlic in each slit. Pour tequila into large bathtub. Add 10 gallons of BBQ sauce and lime juice, mixing thoroughly. Place Troll in bath tub and marinate for at least 24 hours. (Close door to bathroom so you don't get sick of the smell.)

Sear Troll over high heat. Then slow-roast over large bed of coals for three or more days. Baste as needed with BBQ sauce.

Makes an excellent dinner for large crowds. Serve with a chilled Zinfandel. Serves 200 or more.

That's really not fucking funny. My brother got killed like that.

That's right, he read a really unfunny post about him and died.

B) I'm way better looking than your girlfriend, and I'm a fella.

I don't have a girlfriend. I have a boyfriend. I have no idea whether he is better looking than you or not, but suspect he is. He is certainly better educated though.

. I mean, I can't be the only person in the world who thinks Hendo is a "fucking prick". I've had a look at his posts and he really is. I sincerely doubt he's a journalist too.
well, unlike you I actually KNOW Hendo, and can state emphatically he is NOT a prick, but IS a journalist, for a media outlet with generally respected editorial standards.
But yourself, on the other hand-I don't know you personally, so can't comment on you as a person (a lesson you yourself may care to pick up on)...why DID you steam in with a thread like this? What was the reasoning behind it, if not trolling?
Genuinely curious

Well to be perfectly honest I don't know what trolling means. I'm assuming it's what you lot call it when someone comes in to stir shit. I can honestly tell you that the reason I put this thread up was no more than to find out some fucked up stories about Brixton to satisfy my inquisitive mind. I was well aware of many people's sentiments about Brixton on here, but really didn't think their only comeback would be a request to have my thread binned.
 
Might I be right in thinking that, judging only be the idiom, our trolling friend is a native of one of Her Majesty's former colonies across the Atlantic?

Northern Ireland, one of Her Majesty's current colonies. You have an issue with that?

right, but why do you specifically want fucked-up stories? It comes across as some cheapjack tabloid hack looking for pat, easy "ooh nasty Brixton stories"-and Brixton's had more than enough of that sorta treatment over the years.
THAT - to me anyway - gets my shit-stirrer radar going

:mad: Grrrrrrrrr! You really are misinterpreting me all over the show. I fucking live in Brixton, have done for almost a year. I want to hear these stories about bad shit that's happened because it fascinates me. Morbid curiosity. Loads of people suffer from it and it's fuck all to do with The News of the Cunting World.

For a 'new' poster, you seem awfully keen to draw attention to yourself.

Have you posted here before under a different name, perchance?

FYI: You can find a full explanation of trolling here

Good lord! I had no idea we still had that. What would Michael Collins say?

And the Turks and Caicos, too, a friend tells me. Gosh.
 
I worked in Brixton for 2 years, cant say theres too much to get paranoid about, apart from the constant undercurrent of violence, sorry thats the 'vibe' isn't it!, its just a bit of a poohole IMO.

Nope I have honestly never been a poster on here before. I've been reading the posts for a few months but never got around to posting. I knew people would get pissed off about this thread but I don't get through life keeping schtum just to not tread on toes like. It's not like it's always harmonious on here anyway is it?

I've got a good fucked up story. One day, this idiot came into the Brixton Forum looking to confirm all his ignorant and predjudcial ideas about brixton, wanting stories about crack whores chopping your nob off etc. In the end, what he said wasn't that interesting and the thread quietely died......

Once again, an example of the some of the twattery that is symptomatic of many people posting on this board. Can you not see the irony; on the one hand you are complaining about the stereotypes and preconceptions people have built up about Brixton, but at the same time you are trying to group me with some imaginary set of people who spend their lives trying to make Brixton seem like the worst place in the world. It's like a small town mentality you are ingraining, like an "us versus the gentry" ideal that will get you nowhere.

By the way, nothing I've said is predjudicial. I've lived here for 9 months.

Good to get the view from Islington. Don't tell me Her Majesty has hung on to that as well.

this thread is funny.

I thought so too, but some people are getting uppity and taking it too seriously. It's all a been a bit knee-jerky really. Everyone's intelligent like, but jumping to conclusions as to my identity (e.g. American, troll etc.) betrays a real lack of manners/effort to get all the information before making a polarised judgement. You know, the kind of thinking that keeps tabloid newspapers in circulation.
 
In terms of random, casual, unwarranted violence against the stranger, I personally think Brixton’s improved immeasurably since, say, 1980-83.

Then, whatever anyone says, it wasn’t that great a place to live. Cheap, though…

:p

To be honest, I think the lack of manners, or good sense really, are closer to home. Your first post was incredibly provocative. You don't seem shy of jumping to conclusions yourself either (e.g. suggesting Hendo is not a journalist). Perhaps we should all just rewind and start again, now you seem to have established your bona fides.
 
if you really, genuinely, want to find out about brixton, read the local newspapers, search google, go to the tate library and do some research, talk to locals, talk to shopkeepers and stall holders, search urban75. It's not difficult. :)
 
ratunta, u do seem to be trying to pick a fight... for no good reason.. are u at work and bored or somethin? surely u got somethin betta to do, if u want horror stories about brixton try www.thisislondon.co.uk
