Lambeth Country Show 2008

[????]

last time I went to an event in Brockwell Park it was the "free the weed" march, which I though was very much a piece of stoners self indulgence as there's far more important thigs to march about, however I did get surprisingly out of my head on some natural high 'legal ecstacy' which surprised me....anyway, I divert...will there be a 'legal high' tent at said event anyone?

Unlikely, but you're just a short 'trip' away from the streets of Brixton. There you can pick up whatever you need to get the monkey off your back.

Wait around for a while near the KFC and you'll get hitched up.

It helps if you hum 'I'm Waiting For My Man' by The Velvet Underground.

The Lambeth country show is my all time favourite event since I moved to London 14 years ago - i love theridiculous chutzpah of it - it remidns me of all the ages and stages I;ve been in my south london sojourn

I have loved the displays of wheat and potatoes with labels in case yo don't know

the alternative morris dancing - indian folk (the connection being handkercheif waving)

glorious launch of lambeth sure start - tent with big dungareed lady leading a rousing version of she'll be coming round the maountain

the big piles of sheepskins and children gone giddy rolling in them

and, always, the owls

hurrah for it

[TillieTrotter]

Hoping to head there about 4ish this afternoon with friends, kids and wine!

[Keef]

Heading there for about 2. they're putting a play on at 4 that Mrs Keef wants to watch.

Hell yeah baby. We went today and had a blast!!!!!!! absolute wicked time.

BUT....

We went into Cafe Prov for a wee dram for the road, and heard that three gangs armed to the teeth had a full on brawl outside Cafe Prov(underneath the railway bridge). Riot police had to break it all up. And these little fcukers were all approx 16 years old.All with knives.

The waitress in Cafe Prov said that about 50 of them ran into the bar to take cover and hide from the police.!. Her partner is playing on stage with Aswad tomorrow and he has heard the whole day may be cancelled because of the threat of more violence outside the park.

Let them fcuking kill themselves in the streets....I'll be on the grass with a pint of Tip Top cider, blissed out.

[TillieTrotter]

I had a lovely day there today. Will be going again tomorrow, hopefully to see Aswad if the little swines haven't ruined it for us.

I'll assume that there was a semblance of truth in some of the factual element of what you say.

Having taken a few drinks myself, but not as many as you appear to have had,

Let them fucking kill themselves? A suicide solution? You're too fucking scared to spell the word fuck correctly?

Fucking bollocks, it almost fucking well makes me want to fucking use the word 'fuck'.

Shit.

Edited because I used language that was as intemperate as that used above. Used in drink that I wa not proud of.

It was accurate however.

[Keef]

Yesterday was great, lots of cider and a nice smoke. Got home, ate kebab, passed out. Hurrah! :)-D

[Asset]

what - you were 'smoking drugs' openly Keef! Next you'll be joining a gang and brawling in the street.

[Keef]

Hey, I just said I had a nice smoke, Marlboro Lights are nice you know... Ahem.

I am a hard B@stard though!

[TillieTrotter]

I had the pleasure of meeting Keef, Mrs Keef and sister Keef. I must say his Marlboro Lights did taste a tad weird. Made me laugh though:-$

[shoshntosh]

i'm not against d'erb at all (am an occassional fan) but wonder whether anyone else is concerned about a possible connection

between d'erb (and its less savoury cousins) and all that gang violence/crime in general? am i naive to think there's a link?

anyway, off to the brockwell park...:)-D

AT LEAST fifty?! ALL with knives? Armed TO THE TEETH?!! RIOT Police? WHOLE DAY cancelled?

No word of exaggeration??!???!?!

[Jah Lush]

I heard about the brawl too. Bit of a stand off on Half Moon Lane. Missed it yesterday because I had a hangover from hell. I usually go to this and it can be a lot of fun. I'd kinda like to see Aswad again as I haven't seen them in decades but...oh bollocks I'm going down the pub for a hair of the dog that bit me.

[bob]

Just got back from Brockwell park great time no violance that I could see lot's of happy people enjoying themselfs.

Bob S

[lozzyloz]

I had to leave before Aswad came on stage. Were they any good?

Darling you need to chill out a bit. You seem very uptight.

Please feel free to ask the lovely waitress in Cafe Prov. exactly what happened.I'm sure she'd like to know that someone on this forum has called into doubt what happened to her. The incredibly frightening sitiuation that she went through was not accurate, because you say it isn't.

hmmmm....have another drink. Why not. Then I can sit here and make up some more shit about knifings in South London.

[*Bob*]

So what happened after the mounted riot police charged and scattered the 100 men with machine guns?

Did Aswad still go on... or did they have to play behind a bulletproof screen?

[Keef]

Apparently they didn't play as it goes.

[ratty]

Scaredy cats!

[HonaloochieB]

Aswad wouldn't care about little things like that, when you've been in the Double Deckers, nothing fazes you.

[ratty]

Get on board..........

[Tony.London Suburbs]

"Get On Board"??..I'm confused.com. Where they in the Double Deckers or on board one?...Maybe their touring bus?B)

[citizenED]

Corroberation! Corroberation, that's what we need. For the love of sweet Jesus can anyone confirm MW74's story?
