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)

    • Just wanted to let you all know that Dulwich Antiques is serving free takeaway coffee (Old Spike), tea and hot chocolate all day every Sunday. We’re open today till 5pm.  Dulwich Antiques, 3 Upland Road. Hopefully see you there! Rachel & Conrad 
    • But is it the Village councillors who are maintaining the board, or someone else? When the boards in East Dulwich were installed, it wasn't the councillors who kept the information up to date, it was Monica from Health Matters, who was greatly involved in various  community matters (eg the building of the community garden at what was then Dulwich Hospital). I can't remember if it was her who initiated the installation of the boards in the first place. She no longer lives in East Dulwich, and nobody else appears to be willing to liaise with the councillors and community related organisations  to take this on for the various East Dulwich boards.  It would hardly take much effort. Basic information doesn't frequently change (and no, I'm not volunteering. I am overstretched as it is). It's all very well to  get a physical  community notice board spruced up, but not much use if it then isn't being used for its intended purpose. And I can't see that it is part of a councillor's job to update notice boards which they didn't initiate in the first place. I'm sure they have more than enough to do.  The notice boards serve (or did do) a useful service, but all the information which could be put on them is surely available elsewhere. (Unless it is bringing to people's attention things which are of use/interest to them and they weren't aware they needed/would like, or didn't know how else to find the information). ETA: Oh. I've just read the beginning of this thread. I'd forgotten how it started. It's gone well off topic, hasn't it. Probably just as well, reading the OP.
    • The board in the Village (just near the pub) is in pristine condition, full of council-related information (though someone had stuck a flyer on the glass, now removed). Maybe the councillors there actually CBA to make use of a facility that took time, effort and taxpayers’ money to instal?
