Never been a great fan. Dad supports Notts Forest and my youngest brother is a die hard Spurs fan.


I'd have to wait until dad had finished watching Grandstand until I could watch Tom and Jerry and I got sick of him screaming at the T.V and being moody if Forest lost. The worst was when they got knocked out of the F.A cup final by Spurs in 91 and dad tore the kitchen apart whilst me and my brothers cried at the bottom of the garden with mum cuddling us.


He got told off by my Grandfather which was an epic tongue lashing which we listened in on from upstairs.

Well I can sympathise with you on that. Highbury, the former home of the Arse (who played the most boring football known to mankind before Arsene Wenger arrived as manager) was known as the Library because their fans were so quite it had no atmosphere and that hasn't changed much since they moved to The Emirates Stadium. The other trouble with Highbury was that the stands were facing the pitch.

Jah Lush is aware of this from a while back but I thought I'd just rub it in the face of the gooners on the forum. I was on the demolition of Highbury (Keltbray Demolition & civil engineering contractors) and I brought my Spurs mad little brother some of the bricks from the site to smash up for his birthday.


Hope no one's too sour about that.

My Dad once said to me, always trust a man who likes football, but never trust a man who likes West Ham.




He didn't really say that, he didn't like football (and knew nothing of West Ham).


Aologies for spelling, beers tonight.

I don't know where I get liking football from. My dad doesn't really like it, mum had no interest. I remember dad being kicked out a couple of times because he was such a bad father and didn't take me to the football. Never lasted for more than a weekend though.


It can be boring, but then so can most things. Makes up for it other times then.


I would have loved to have been on the demolition squad at the old library, I'm so jealous BBW.

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      By FatherJack · Posted

      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?

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By MCK100 · Posted

      @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)
