I've been listening to some of the work by Ennio Morricone, composer responsible for many of the academy award winning sound tracks to Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns.


I hope you'll agree that Susanna Rigacci provides a haunting lilt to accompany the score.

You can just picture it can't you.


Keele university, early 90's.


We join our brave, intrepid new student Mockney on the dance floor at a union gig. Left home for the first time, eager to strike out and make new friends. The music is great if not a bit to the left. The throng of young adults moves to the rythme. We spot Mockney with his new hair style (parted in the middle) doing his best to fit in like most of us have done at one point.


Classmate: "Hi there, it's Pepe isn't it? You're in my modern history class."


Mockney: "Hi there, it's Piers actually but yeah, I'm in your class."


CM: "Great gig tonight isn't it. Have you seen them before?"


M: "No, it's my first time."


CM: "Hey, it's really noisy over here, do you fancy getting a snakebite?"


M: "Cool, what's your name?"


CM: "Jackie."


M: "That's a really nice name Jackie."


CM: "Thanks. Hey, that's a really cool Phat Willy's T-shirt you've got on. Where did you get it?"


M: "Oh my Mum boug.....I mean I stole it. Yeah I nicked it from Millets."


CM: "Wow, you sound like a bit of a rebel. Do you like my Fruit of the loom jacket and Reebok classics? My mum bought them for me."


M: "Yeah they look real neat. Hey, do you fancy coming back to my dorm to listen to some Nirvana?"


CM: "I'd love to but I'm with some people I've just met in my dorm and I can't just leave them."


M: "Oh O.K, maybe some other time yeah?"


CM: "Yeah, see you in class Pepe."


M: "Damn, I thought I was in there!"

      Victorian gas outlet??? Any advice?

      By malumbu · Posted

      Call National Grid and say you have a problem with a gas pipe  0800 111 999  and with luck they will fix it for free.  Most likely my diagnosis.   Some nutter had done their own gas plumbing in my house and National Grid blanked off both a supply to an old gas fire and a wrought iron pipe in the bathroom that supplied to the old bathroom water heater originally in the house. Extremely unlikely to be connected, may be from the days of gas lighting (mainly over by the 1920s) .  Gas connection will have long since been modernised.  If it hasn't been blanked off then just turn it on and sniff, or if you are like me light it.  This is how gas fitters did it in the past,  Although at your own risk (you are more likely to asphyxiate from natural gas, it is not poisonous, and the smell is an additive, so you can smell leaks. Chances are you are old enough to have used Bunsen burners at school. The end of the video is great, the biggest source of gas is your boiler, and if you house hasn't blown up already......

      Thanks, that's very helpful to have that confirmed! Really wasn't sure what we were dealing with. Will look into a gas engineer...

      Ah, dozy me.  Thanks for pointing that out.   I was so impressed by the MOT details being there I  didn't  expect anything else could be so didn't check any further.  I've not owned anything with an internal combustion engine for decades.  Recently found a light tool that I've a dim memory of using for (??) timing checks.
