Pietro's Pub Quiz @ The Herne Tavern.

Popped along to join team "Quizzy Rascal" at the Pub Quiz, herne tavern, t'other night. It didn't dissappoint. Jeremy, Nicola, Sadie & Kim have been going on about how good it is for weeks now, so i thought I'd pop along. And it is good. The frontman of the quiz is Pietro, who is from my neck of the woods in hudders (always nice to meet a northerner in South London). Pietro's a funny charming chap. He's good with the crowd and keeps the smiles flowing. Apparently there's a raffle every week and if you get your ticket picked out of the tin-foil hat, you get to have a dabble at "play your cards right" to win the jackpot. "Higher, Lower, Loser, Winner", you get the picture. Apparently a local girl won the jackpot of £1975 the t'other week, but this week was £100. No one snaffled the cash, so it'll be a rollover to next week. I reckon I'll be back.Good work Pietro, Quizzy rascale. time to do some swatting for next week.

The World's Biggest Goalkeeper, Pecknam

Peckham Rye Park Gym

The Local chiefs have pulled off a beauty in Pecknam Rye, providing an outdoor gym for you to tone up, work off the flab, and make yourself feel better about yourself. If you wander up towards the skate park/lake you can't miss it. There's different zones to help you get fit; Cardio/Tone/Chill. Personally, I'm a big fan of the monkey bars, the pec-alator and the bendy knee thing.

You might wonder how this outdoor gym will survive with the destructive kids rampaging around, but calm your fears. Last time I was there 3 riffraff locals spent 20 minutes trying to smash up one machine, and failed quite miserably. This gym is yoot proof. Good work Pecknam and good work www.tgogc.com, the great outdoor gym company.

Goose Green Fete

The Goose Green Fete rolled into... well, Goose Green and gave us a special surprise when we woke up on Sunday morning. To our horror a load of locals and their businesses had infiltrated our Garden, setting up stalls selling curry, biscuits, coffee, fudge, icecream, beer, wine and giving out free massages and pony rides. I can tell you we were not best pleased. Until we tried all of them (apart from the pony, that'd be a bit cruel). Twas a good day, and an overwhelming reminder that East Dulwich is capital of Kids.


Big thanks to Babur restaurant who fed us, and Southwark News for making me look buff.
