CELEBRITY IN SYDENHAM

[leenewham]

A Hollywood actor and author was in Trattoria last night. Any ideas who it was?

Dunno Lee but last time I was in there Diana Rigg was right behind me. Wish it was in front.

A few more years in Sydenham and you will get used to hob nobbing with the glitterati Lee!

We should start putting stars in our paving (It would have been fun to put famous locals in the paving like WC Grace etc, although perhaps not Rolf pending his trial!).

From Trattorias Facebook page, it's either:

Ricky Gervais

Mackenzie Crook

Or Steve Carrel

(there is an office connection).

Or roundels on the buildings?

(Although it is disputed whether Shackleton ever ventured as far south as Trattorias)

It might have been more appropriate to have put an elephant on our (Cobbs Corner) island.

That is a brilliant idea. I think we should knock one up as soon as possible and use it to generate publicity about the Greyhound saga.
I can draw one to pitch the idea, anyone know how to make one that is safe/will stand up to the weather? A big balloon perhaps?

[stuart]

It might be an idea as a Sydenham Arts Festival media event. Then if it 'flies' we could think about a permanent feature. After all if mere Dorking can put this on a traffic island ... we can do better!

[michael]

I'm not sure how the people of South Newington would feel about Sydenham claiming the elephant for their roundabout.

[leenewham]

A green dragon?

Or perhaps we should also use a large cock next to the greyhound with a sign that says 'one of these knocked down this'...

I think shmuck is the word you're looking for.

Kazia Pelka (Brookside, Heartbeat etc) lives in Sydenham as well

No, cock was the right word.

Reliably informed by some fellow sydenham film clubbers it was Mackenzie Crook.

Whoever sees him next, please coerce him into having a photo taken in front of the Greyhound site with thumbs down and send it out to all forms of media.
