That Leeds side were excellent. I was at West Ham when Paul Reaney broke his leg right in front of us- we heard the crack!

I caught the Revie team a number of times. It's a physical game that sometimes spills over to a bit of a scrap. If we were celebrating two footed tackles, over the top tackles or the way that George Best could be targeted and taken out of the game that would be a separate thing. Don't be so po faced! Here's another great match. What we forget almost half a century later was the passion - no prawn sandwiches in those days, real time betting, or leaving early for half time and getting back late. It wasn't all about trouble on the terraces. And it was a time when the players would have a booze up in their favourite local pub afterwards. And jumpers for goal posts.

I saw Little Richard at Lewisham Odeon


Little Richard's return to Lewisham Odeon in July 1975 seemed to have been memorable though for all the wrong reasons. Mick Farren's review in the New Musical Express described 'The debut date of Little Richard's UK tour at the half empty Lewisham Odeon' as 'little short of a disaster. Possibly the person least to blame was Little Richard himself'.

First came across him in Our Lucien in the Liverbirds, great in the drama GBH loosley based on Derek Hatton, younger generations Thomas the Tank Engine (softer toned narration than the original Ringo) and in more recent years narrated various stuff although not recorded on IMDB.

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
