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.

    • Maybe I'm behind the times, but in the old days if you went to a pub for charity fundraiser you'd have a quiz or karaoke and you'd be chipping in for a new scanner at your local hospital or maybe sending some poor kiddie for some cancer treatment abroad. Nowadays you can roll down to the Old Nun's head in Nunhead and tip your money into a bucket for some sad young woman to go a private surgeon and have her breasts sliced off -  as if that was going to be some kind of life-saving treatment!  Not only that, she's publicising her Valentine's crowdfunder with a funny ha ha (not) cartoon of a girl (see pic) with a hypodermic in her bum and calling it 'Valen-Tits-off'. Jesus wept. Whatever happened to hearts and flowers? It's so unbelievably sick. I'm a woman, I've pretty much still got all the woman-bits intact. Periods and puberty weren't much fun, I was bullied at school, wondered about my sexuality and boys and spots and the rest of it, got called a lezzer by the class cow, but I got through it. And I would no more think that cutting bits off a girl was the solution to her misery than I would put my teenage daughter on a diet if she was diagnosed with anorexia. I can't be the only person who finds the pub - and its publicity material - very VERY offensive?
    • I know you asked for recommendations, but I have lots of families who would happily give a glowing reference for my tutoring.  Will DM you.
    • There's Gather  in Bellenden Road. And doesn't the Turkish (?) shop sell no packaging things? I'm sure it used to at one point. Maybe it stopped.
    • If nobody on here knows, I will ask at a DIY shop. I already googled, but most of the solutions aren't feasible for me, I don't think.
