All The Young Dudes - Mott The Hoople - perfect build up to a class vocal - the coda's not too shabby neither.


Sweet Jane - The Velvet Underground - the guitar fiddling then the loping crunch of the opening chords - Mott The Hoople's version's not too shabby neither.


Layla - Derek & The Domonos - 39 notes takes you into a heart rending vocal, someone mentioned Bell Bottomed Blues earlier, that was the B-side of the single and was utterly perfect.


Once Bitten Twice Shy - Ian Hunter - the single opened with a wide-mouthed 'Allo' followed by a lazy Chuck Berryish guitar intro - then there's the introduction to the song by Hunter, the guitar riff soothing you along - then - drum roll - THEN - Mick Ronson smashes in with that thing he used to do with his guitar and it takes off and up and it don't stop until it ain't got nowhere else to go. Casual genius.

Keith Richards is the absolute king of the intro. Check for the Rolling Stones' Jumping Jack Flash the way the opening chords draw you into the song straight away. Pure genius. Then there's Brown Sugar, Get Off My Cloud, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Bitch, Satisfaction etc etc. I could list more but we'd be here all day.

    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?     
    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.     
    • Some of us oldies would associate Grove with the old Grove Vale School (which I went to in the 1950s)
