British Bulldog

Anything that doesn't fit anywhere else, but that's still CH related.

British Bulldog

Post by Jolyon »

Does Maine B still play Bulldog out by the sicker in the summer before Prep?

And what about the monster games inside the athletics tracks in the summers of 90-92.

Do they still occur from time to time?

For anyone who missed them a 2-300 player game of British bulldog was something to see

The track is no more. And I've never seen a huge game. Sounds bloomin' good fun tho'.

unfortunately, the new "MASTER PLAN" of the school has resulted in the back-ash's turning into car parks, and the great games of football or british bulldog of at least a 100 people are now just a memory, the track was the first to go

Maybe to the very end, but when I took part before their downfall, there were aforementioned track records that you spoke of

Well seeing as it was such a bizzare and open mass brawl I am not sure how you ban it anyway.

And on a related topic, isnt smoking banned in most schools....

I'm told that the licking of non self-adhesive postage stamps is to be banned at C.H. in case all the 'little cherubs' damage their tongues !

YES !

If you ask the post office for a single stamp, you'll have to lick-it and stick-it !

J.R. have you tried not winking at the counter staff when you ask them for "just a little one, and be careful not to wrinkle or tear the edges"
