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!"

    • We are talking Sunday not Saturday! Is Saray the one opposite Brockwell Park? Think it is - always quiet when we have been there but we eat early - forgot that one. Thanks. Food was ok not bad not good but staff are nice - that was six  months ago. Ohh excellent as you are a veggie too.. Will check out Dai Due Fratelli - thanks. No Thai I am referring too is up a few shops from Oxfam Book Shop… 
    • I think the Italian you are talking about was the old pizza place which is now closed and chicken shop in it's place? There is a nice Thai restaurant called Chern Thai on Grove Vale that should be open at lunchtime Saturday. I am veggie too btw. Peachy Goat in Herne Hill is good, but depends on the ask as it's kinda burgers and pasta and not the cheapest. I tried the Turkish in Herne Hill, Saray, round the corner Saturday before last and will be quiet but the owner is super sweet and it's not expensive. If you are happy with pizza / pasta, you could also do Dai Due Fratelli which is good food, friendly and attentive service at good prices on Lordship Lane.
    • Thanks pinkeyes - not what we are looking for lunch on Sunday. Prob saved Eats Dulwich time too! umm not sure what to do about Love Dulwich - gather guys and staff that ran it no longer do— not impressed with bloke I spoke to and doubt it will be busy on Sun - would love to be proven wrong ….. just have a bad vibe but we will see. Never had a problem with Vietnamese place as been there many time - but not for six months - might just trot down on Sat and see if staff are still the same. Johnnies have new team as well! Gail’s closed - that is not a surprise as was going down hill when I last went. Well folks, can anyone suggest anywhere else? That offers more than a green or mixed salad for my vegetarian folk? Can be Asian or Thai as well - anyone been to the place on Half Moon Lane near Bookshop or has that changed hands as well.. Might just settle for pizza in West Dulwich along Rosendale Road unless they have changed chef and hands. Must be somewhere in East Dulwich that caters for the odd vegetarian - maybe not but find it amazing that nothing in East Dulwich.           What is the Italian like in the side road by East Dulwich Station? Think folk have mentioned it was good - no idea what it is called.
    • Yes, that was why I deleted my post! Only not in time, it seems! I realised I had mixed up two restaurants!
