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!"

    • Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.
    • Dawson Heights again  2 lifts out of order at ladlands block Christmas Eve so of course the 🛗 will not be repaired tomorrow Christmas Day or Boxing Day or when how do elderly or mothers with children and prams and food and presents get to the floors and with the 10 minutes you get to drop off  to park and not get a Pcn fine and delivery food to relatives who can’t leave their house unbelievable Southern housing does any know email address of Coe of southern housing 
    • Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
    • Sorry Sue - me again. This has been on my mind all day, it's a big bug bear of mine. If you don't mind - please can you private message me some of these shops so I can cross reference / add to my AVOID list.  Thanks in advance. Let's make sure this doesn't happen this Christmas, particularly as we head into sales season. Even more problematic in my experience.
