FRENCH:

1/ "Pappy" Alexander. MP: "Knight first you fart then you belch GET OUT!"

Call me vulgar, but I laughed like a drain (d'you

> see what I did there?) at that one. Did Knight have the gumption to say 'Sorry sir, I didn't know you had to belch first?'


What "Jethro" Knight did,in fact,was to march out stomping the floor as hard as possible with his Doctor Martins on!:))


Another "Pappy" story-he was about 107 years old btw...He used to crack the same "joke" 100 times a year.

He would say in French "What have I got in my pocket?"...."Dunno,Sir" would be the reply from the gathered ensemble.

Then he would say with a big grin "5 pence and a piece of string!":))(6)....so once the "lads" got wise to this they agreed what to do next time.

The day soon arrived-usual spiel and silence after the "punchline" then a ripple then a few random laughs,gradually building so that everyone laughed,at first reasonably,then it grew and grew until the whole class were in uncontrollable hysterics,complete with holding their sides and Barry Rowing and Pancho Martinez rolling on the floor!

At first he smiled at the recognition of his joke but gradually it dawned on him that the lads were taking the pizzicato BIG-TIME:))...twas 40 years ago but still vivid today!

Dulwich Village Infants, Dulwich Hamlet Juniors and then Tulse Hill School For Boys/Thugs. Notable ex-pupils:- Ken Livingstone, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Smiley Culture, boxer Danny Williams (who once knocked out Mike Tyson in 4 rounds), actors Tim Roth and Kenneth Cranham, footballers Les Briley (Millwall) and Dennis Bailey (QPR) who famously scored a hat-trick in a 4-1 win against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

I didn't do notable pupils... Hmmm Sean Wright-Phillips, Scot Parker (my mate gave him a prefects detention for being so good at football).


If you read Eric the viking by Terry Jones, the beginning of the book says "story for Bill", that was his son, who was in the year above me.

...What did you learn in school today?]



I learnt that even the most out of control 15yr olds can blossom given the right encouragement...


I am not a school teacher but spent yesterday with 40 inner city school kids doing a design project called 'trainers of the future'. We used the trainer as a way to get them to 'dream' about what might be possible, think about other people's needs and understand how design can be used to improved peoples lives. You can't see form the pic all the magical ideas they had embeedded in their design thinking, but for example, the punky looking shoe... "the yellow spikes fly out when you are in danger on the streets and create a protective circle around you so you can not be harmed", the pale pink one (which is for babies) has "a button that you press to play a special kind of music that calms the baby, so it stops crying and starts smiling" They has 2 hours to do the project and worked in teams....

well you did ask Mikecg


edited a hundred times cos I can't sort out my pic to be small enough...

JL, didn't Francis Rossi of the Quo also go there. According to my mate Trev he did.

I'd ask him but he moved to New Zealand several years ago.

Any way the only person of any note who went to my secondary school is Gus O'Donnell the cabinet secretary.

And that was well after I left in somewhat of a hurry.

    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.  
    • BIAB is supposed to be less damaging to the nails than Shellac. It stands for Builder in a Bottle. 
    • I have been training at the hub for just over one year. I really enjoy the variety of training offered and the quality of the instructors. Very effective group classes and enjoyable in the open air! A very welcoming place which makes a fitmess journey pleasant!  
    • We're are just about to get ready for sale, a 2 bed flat, very close to Peckham Rye park.  It has been rented out for sometime, so is in need of some TLC for it to look its best, before it goes on the market.  Would be interested to know others thoughts on whether its best to just have the place painted completely white throughout, probably with new grey flooring, or if it might be more appealing to add some colour/interest (nothing too drastic), perhaps something alittle 'warmer', with some nice (potentially dark) feature walls maybe? Wondered whether the days of going completely white might now have passed ..... It might be useful to know that its not a period or conversion property, but rather a flat in a private purpose built block.
