Does he really speak Elvish? As in the language invented by Tolkein, or another, imposter "Elvish"? Fair enough, I suppose it's marginally less inviting of a good kicking than learning Klingon (not a kicking from me of course, I'm a bit of a geek but not that bad, but there are those who f...

There's an article in the Grauniad today about it:

Well I must say that the West Sussex County Times website is one of the worst news sites I've ever come across, but I managed to find the article, or at least a stub of it:

Dunno if this has been posted elsewhere, apologies if so - but I was listening to the Today programme on radio 4 yesterday and on came one Joe Sillett, to talk about his cricket bat company. He said that his dad (Mr Bob Sillett I presume!!!) had dug out an old woodworm-riddled bat from his shed, and...

A few verses in haiku form for y'all. Drinking on Big Side, decorating of the Quad, Band playing at night; the night before our last day in blue coats and bands I remember well. The Leaving Service - "I charge you not to forget the great benefits received in this place" - moved even the ha...

Hello mate,

I might be able to help. Here is my co's website: www.tienjin.com. I'm a one-man-band, but as you can see, one man can do a lot

This is interesting. I recently (well, over the past few years) managed to shock both the headmaster of my time (Poulton) and my housemaster (Richard McDonald) because, during my time at CH, I went to every length not to take part in any sporting activity. Well, almost all, I did represent Sussex (a...

So how do I subscribe to this sort of thing? I don't think CH has my correct address any more, but they do have my phone number as someone rang my mobile AND landline the other day asking for a donation of some sort. Is there one handy person to contact with my correct details?

What's this about an organ accompaniment to a piece? Never happened in the 7 retreats I played in. One of my favourite parts of the evening was when we played "Nimrod" from the Enigma Variations. Very heart-rending, felt even more choked usually as by that time I had no lip left to play (t...

What the hell are you doing in Borneo, anyway?? Out of interest?

I never really had him as a teacher beyond the compulsory drama lessons, but as a tutor he was great, really great. Especially for such an 'orrible little oik as I was!

well, maybe he'd chilled out by the time I was at CH. I mean, I wasn't even BORN in 1974, heh. The theatrical productions of my time were not so much OTT, but they were good fun to be involved in, whether as a star or as a lowly extra (always the latter in my case!). In fact I'd say it swung the oth...

That company information (for HEDGEMANOR) is no longer available at Companies House. Perhaps they purge old companies every now and then? Seems unlikely, and the information was presumably there when the previous post was made in March. There is information (including downloadable accounts... these ...

I'm also very glad to hear he's still very much alive! Sorry for the incorrect info and any distress it might have caused...
