ROFL !!!

My vote goes to Katherine Jenkins the Welsh soprano... lovely http://www.katherinejenkins.com at last there's another male here with decent taste!!! *** oooooooeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrh! [edit: just seen that on 6th December she will appear as a "Loose Woman" on ITV]. ** when I type...

Strangely enough, I was introduced to menthol cigarettes by my housemistress in 5's, who used to share her ciggies with me if there was no-one else around. She smoked St Moritz, but I could only afford Consulate myself. I should add this was the housemistress who arrived when I was in the UVI - afte...

Funny, I remember boxes at Hertford, as midget described, not rolls, and I started in 1967. It was like Izal but I think it might have been called Bronco or something.

Funny what memories we have of the details of our time at CH

So who was the receipient, Kerren? Someone else might recognise the name

Looking through old letters in relation to a thread on one of the other CH forums, I came across several from Bun, alias Judith Points, and wondered if anyone was still in contact with her?

I've resisted responding up till now, partly because I'm not a parent myself, so can only imagine how you've been feeling, and partly because I'm afraid my response probably fails your criterion of nothing along the lines of "this is how it was for me" - but I hope it might be some comfort...

I'm sure I have some myself somewhere, but getting at them would involve clearing piles of junk and reaching up to the top shelf of a bookcase to bring down a rather precariously balanced basket. Must organise myself to do it soon. Oh do, please Jo. I knew I couldn't be the only one to have these b...

Jenny, you must have been in House, and your friend up t'Imf! You say "come down soon". One went up t'Imf and then back down. Or was the letter to you and not by you? Hmm, strong coffee time. I remember "up t'inf" - I'm assuming the expression must first have been coined by a Yo...
