since having children i have become a classic 'mum' for example recently encountering a mobile phone that i didn't know how to use to make a call. so when i clicked on this thread i genuinely thought that one of the arcades had suffered a fire in brixton. i hope one day to keep up with the kids again...

Dear Mr Mightyroar.

First gig I'd been to since a friend made me go and watch Orbital with her a couple of years ago and after 2 songs I wanted to go home and lie down..however I thought Arcade Fire were FAB and it was over all too quickly. Their energy and passion had me hooked from the first song. Love Win's vocals.Came home and put Funeral on very loud.


Have you seen today's Observer Music mag front cover "Could the Arcade Fire be the best band in the world?". A Paul Morley. (Actually I dozed off as I was reading it but I agreed with the headline such was my high at the end of the evening, possibly also caused by dropping in to The Drum to say hi to any forumites on the way there.)


I was a bit phased on the way in when girls had to go in one door and boys in the other..the security was much heavier than I expected.....is it always like that there now??

Clicked on to this thread because I thought there was a real fire in an arcade in Brixton.


Now understand it's something to do with a pop group.


Have made a note with my pencil in my diary: "Arcade Fire" pop group. Mention to teenage kids!


Now worried that when I drop name 'Arcade Fire' into conversation kids will give me that Jeremy Clarkson, still wears jeans at his age look.


Please advise.

    • Hi, I went to the council's planning portal to look at the application, and I encourage others to look at it. It looks like a pleasant building, with thoughtful landscaping. as Pugwash said, the big oak would be retained, only two smaller trees are supposed to be cut, one of which is already dead according to the Tree Survey. It sounds like 38 people in great need of it will gain supported housing thanks to this development, a very positive change. Of course a solution has to be found for the 3 who will need to find other accommodation during the works, but that doesn't seem enough of a reason to oppose the development. The current building is 4 stories, so I would be surprised if one extra storey was considered objectionable, especially considering the big oak stands between the building and the neighbours' back gardens and the fact that the neighbours it's backing onto are all 5 stories houses themselves or only have blank walls facing the building. In the context where affordable housing is sorely missing, a 100% supported housing development is great news. Personally I've never seen a less objectionable planning request
