Football Casuals. None more so.


Loved being part of it all, had some great trips, made some great friends, had some brilliant laughs, but anyone who's still at it is a bit of a dinosaur. Also, today's version generally...


1. Dress like shite and don't really get the original aesthetic principle

2. Are fairly pathetic in numbers.


I don't regret it for a moment, but find it amazing that there is an appetite for it amongst younger people these days (and older people who should have packed it in)

The Dark is Rising (oh Susan Cooper, you were super)

Salt n Shake

Yes to those green shield stamps (my nan used to collect them down the co-op: I think sometimes we got sweets, and sometimes we just nicked her Rennies out of the drawer)

Now that's what I call music (I had the first one, without any numbers, on vinyl - at work today, a couple of people said the first one they got was number 18 - gadzooks)

Novelty records - grandma we love you, save your love my darling, matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs - in fact why don't they make songs about painters anymore? (and I could have told you Vincent, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you)

    • As I may have said before those that knew him  at DC who I have met sat similar, but not sure if they are quoting the above contacts or first hand experience.  And of course that he has changed the pronunciation of his surname
    • A detailed account of Nigel Farage's alleged racist and neofascist behaviour while he attended Dulwich College appears in the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-interactive/2025/nov/18/deeply-shocking-nigel-farage-faces-fresh-claims-of-racism-and-antisemitism-at-school Obviously for most the relevant question is if these allegations are true, then is Farage a suitable person for public office? But for Dulwich local yokels (and tbh anyone that's already formed a firm opinion about Farage), the more interesting question might be whether Dulwich College incubated and tolerated pupils' racist and bigoted behaviour at the time? After all, the allegations include that NF and a number of other boys sang songs about gassing Jews and engaged in other bigoted behaviour, that teachers were either present or aware of that behaviour, and that nothing was done. It's remarkable that pieces of the reporting abour 40 years ago mirror some of the allegations about Dulwich College's reaction to some pupils' alleged sexist and predatory behaviour 4 years ago. Minimisation, dismissal, wilful blindness... https://www.thetimes.com/uk/crime/article/i-warned-head-of-dulwich-college-about-abusive-boys-five-years-ago-xkxgjftk8 https://www.theguardian.com/education/2021/mar/26/dulwich-college-head-warns-pupils-over-culture-protest
    • Hi, we've got a random cat at tonight's game. Anyone own it? 
    • Saied (Dulwich Eco Gardening) said he’d give us our garden back and he did. He cleared the overgrown front and back. It was bigger than we remember.    He doesn’t do hard landscaping on the scale we needed but recommended someone (Kris 07938 204480). He flagged and fenced it.    Once we decide what plants/pots we want we’ll have Saied back to do that. Can’t wait for next spring to use the garden.
