Finding some Stroud "Green"

Black Sea Baby · September 2008

Anyone know a good local source of not particularly strong green stuff or hash? No skunk as it messes with my programming. I would ask the kids who loiter on albert road but they scare me.

unaesthetic · September 2008

is this some kind of inept sting operation?

Chapter none · September 2008

Yeah I know where to get some...

*Doorbell*

Wait, just got to answer the door.

*muffled sirens and handcuff noises*

David · September 2008

Can anyone get me some crack? I won't tell anybody.

dominic · September 2008

Heh.

I once worked on a website where a couple of guys tried to do a coke deal. Right down to swapping numbers. Marvelously naive.

tosscat · September 2008

Oh yeah I have a friend who...

Ali · September 2008

Saw a guy once selling standing in the doorway of Tesco’s at about 8.30 in the morning. He had a great big bag of the stuff which he was flogging to sad lady although I guess it might have been a great big bag of tobacco but I don’t think so.

Chapter none · September 2008

She was probably even more sad to find it was Oregano, although I'm sure you can get a decent price for that in Papagonne... Maybe there is a huge Oregano and Rosemary trade between Tescos-Sad Lady-Papagonne. I'm going to have to keep my eyes open...

Black Sea Baby · September 2008

which one's sad lady, is she the one who lies next to the bench and not actually on it? If she's depressed probably best if she isn't smoking dope.

Chapter none · September 2008

If there's someone more sad than that I've not seen them... Will keep my eyes open though.

This thread is awesome.

andy · September 2008

Actually, I could probably steal you a gun if that would help?

wood · October 2008

actually i am the po po. i can steal you all the guns and drugs you want. To contact me ask the old lady in the doorway of tesco, she will give you a password and a phone number to call.

*Two crack houses in Birnam Road and Fonthill Road, in Finsbury Park, have also been raided and shut down.*

Liz · October 2008

I'm sure they did that about 4 years ago too - I remember it being in the news and police being everywhere around Fonthill Road giving out flyers about the raid when I walked to work in the morning.

tosscat · October 2008

What's with the last paragraph about it being a tenner a pop and they keep it in their mouths?

andy · October 2008

With a packet of cigs at six quid, ten quid for a rock of crack covered in drug dealer spit really is a bargain.

tosscat · October 2008

I thought so.

andy · October 2008

the drug dealer spit is basically free

katiejane · October 2008

do they have BOGOF like Tescos?

unaesthetic · October 2008

they're claiming the drugs back for the people of islington? but i'm on the haringey side! no fair!

wood · October 2008

yea! turf war!

Bernie · October 2008

It's like The Wire. A bit. I need to put a wire on Hornsey Libray to see when Season 3 comes in as it'll be straight out again.

Ian · October 2008

Give me a whisper if you want season 3

katiejane · October 2008

@ Bernie - can you not reserve it?

Bernie · November 2008

Thanks Ian, getting it from a friend at work now. Should have it by the weekend. I don't think Library would let me reserve as it's so popular. I may be wrong but they didn't even have it on the shelf, it was behind the desk..

Lucy · November 2008

just watched the final episode of wire season 4. I love the Wire!!! Question for the crowd though, do we have pockets of awfulness comparable to those of east and west Baltimore (wire seasons 1-4, not trying to ruin anything for anyone)? Am I just deeply middle class and sheltered? If the representation of inner city life in Baltimore is true; their schooling, policing and politics seem to be so much worse and more corrupt than anything I can even imagine in this country! Is this a true perspective or just naive and somewhat jingoistic? It fills me with horror that something like these events could be happening in the UK and I'm unaware of them and our press is failing to report on them. Great programme though, if not bloody depressing!

tosscat · November 2008

Lucy - have you seem Gomorra? I guess it's the same kind of thing but in Italy.

slats · November 2008

Lucy - i'm only halfway through seires one but would imagine that drug use and violence on that scale happens all the time in the rougher areas of the UK's larger cities.. I've never really seen it first hand myself, quite happy to be aware but sheltered..

Howdy, Stranger!
