School film.. there were some rotten films like Boys in Blue which starred cannon and ball and An Officer and a Gentleman. However I'm pretty sure we got to see Animal House at one point which made up for it. Think the films fell a bit in popularity when we could go into Horsham and rent videos.

See I felt kinda let down by CH in my political education. No politics a-level, no classes on it. All my political interest and knowledge has come since I left, but I would have thought CH would have encouraged interest in some way, but no. I did Pol-econ (Politics / Economics) A Level in 1989 so i...

The smell of wood polish when I first went in to Barnes B on my first day still lingers with me to this day. Other smells that I remember are deep heat, wet clothes from housey coats to socks to rugby kit, dining room (OH NO NOT SPONGE AGAIN), burnt toast, the science block that just smelt of chemic...

My son wonders why I know all the words, actions and moves to 'Bare Necessities' when he is watching Jungle Book, although he does a far better impression of King Louie than I do. (Sorry for those of you for whom this does not make sense, you had to be there!) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I seem to rem...

Mr Cudlipp - oh how the mighty have fallen - 2 budding actors: i was a blood cell in Bodyworks and I seem to remember something along the lines of GCSE Drama... now reduced to IT analysts. I must have got it the wrong way round I was very into computers on my 2/3rd form, then got into theatre and h...

.........DNP and extravaganza go together well in the same sentence. I was reminded the other day (as it was on TV) of Barnes B's production of The Happiest Days of Your Life (1975ish). Somewhere I have a photo or two - - I haven't worn stockings since then.... :oops: mmmm not a lot of creativity i...

Mr Sutcliffe was my housemaster for a few years after our previous housemaster left for *ahem* things he shouldn't have done. I rememebr his attempts to engage us in philosophical conversations which I didn't really appreciate at the time which now I think was a shame. He was always softly spoken an...

HA HA HA I'm still regularly in touch with Ian and am going to see his new flat in a few weeks if i can get my sh*t together.

Think he got a bit stitched up on the show but hey he got a flat found for him on a programme he'd never watched!

Have pm'd you AKAP but i'm up for a drink in newcastle.

I knew Rick as I was in the year above him in Mid A and it was such an odd time even for those not at the school anymore, I can't begin to imagine what it was like for those on his year or at the school at the time. A group of us did go to the school the next day and well it was as you'd expect it t...

Someone will turn up with mybleached look next (Sam Wenman's standard greeting - who s*** on your head!) Been away from thissite for a bit and came back to be reminded about your bleached look, seem to rememebr it was something to do with sun-in and your insistance that you hadn't used sun-in but h...

I got caught drinking at a party we had on my UF. It was an odd one because Mr Sutcliffe had provided alcoholic punch so we were drinking anyway, maybe it was the vodka and sherry (YUK) we were drinking in full view of most of the house and split on the floor outside the dayroom. In the end I had my...

Torkington - I remember his beard - a major disaster - and his car???? one of those old SAAB's that no-one (except him) would ever buy. I think he still had that car when I was in Barnes B ('82). He once drove behind me a steeplechase and sped up to make me run faster - it didn't work as I sat down...

ZBB - now there's a real blast form the past. Do you still keep in touch? I've lost touch with that group.

Oh what happy days, although for the life of me I can't remember the band names. Gus Honeybun's Magic Birthday Club or House at Pooh Corner were the names.....I still have the tapes!!! Somewhere I do have a photo of us playing at a House Party with a couple of the Col A girls, Jay ******, another n...
