Re: Strange old man dressed in WW1 army gear / dog named lobster
I remember the figure of Kirby walking around. On my year in our house Jon Armour had a scholarship (i think) from Kirby and so went to visit him every week in his room behind the science block. He took me along one time on the promise of some mead that Kirby had made from his honey. Needless to say...

Re: underwear
Also known for a short time as tea -bags. I won't ask why :lol: Actually it's a lot more innocent than it sounds. They were of a fetching design that resembled tea bags in that they had the lots of little holes woven into them (if you can weave holes that is but I hope you get my meaning), I suspec...

Re: Dormitory Antics
Dorm raides and lamp posting! Bum sliding in the lav-ends by blocking up the drain by the baths and flooding the floor by over filling the baths! Apple pie-ing the sheets of an unsuspecting squit and holding his hand in a glass of cold water when he was asleep hoping he'd wet the bed. HAHA Richard,...

Re: Roger Sutcliffe
The name does ring a bell now you mention french teacher.

Re: Roger Sutcliffe
It was 1983/4, our first year in Mid B after leaving Barnes B. Don't even rememebr the name Steve Eason so don't think he was there. The tutor was (I think) Mr Boyle though he may have joined a year later.

Re: Housey 'Peaceful Revolution'
Ah, peaceful revolution. I remember the hunger strike we went on in about 1988 to complain about the quality of the food. When I sa hunger strike, we just didn't eat any of the food in the dining hall. It lasted a good while as I remember and they bought in a load of much better food but they spent ...

Re: Whole School Photo from ?1995
Well they didn't do any in my time (1982-1989) but I think they may have done one the following year.jtaylor wrote: I believe they did them every 7 years, so that in theory everyone would be in at least one?

Re: Music from Christ's Hospital 1985
I remember a record coming out around that time. My parents bought a copy so I think it was probably just sold to parents and at concerts to raise money, fairly sure I remember it being sold to Verrio visitors and on parents days, old blues days etc.

Re: weekends
Someone on another thread mentioned "leave weekends" -- a non-concept in my day. So here in concise chronological sequence is a winter weekend c. 1957. Most of the below will be non-concepts nowadays, I imagine. Sat: breakfast - chapel practice* - 4 lessons - ldinner - compulsorily specta...
