He had a fine career in rugby and I wish him all the best for his future.

Despite a superficial resemblance to a beloved and much respected contributor to the forum, I feel this contributor is offering little more than spam.

Apologies if I am wrong but Julian will decide.

There are Theist philosophers so yes they can. St Thomas Aquinas historically for one. Richard Swinburne is probably the most eminent living theist philosopher.

Re: Death of John Robson

Sad to read that "Rev Rob" has passed away. At least he lived to a good age.

I spoke to him when I had some problems and found him very supportive. He was a good man.

RIP and condolences to family and friends.

Re: Stuart Holland


Holland has surfaced elsewhere on this site regarding his time at CH but when I Googled him I found the following: "Few living figures can match Stuart Holland's range of experience and insight into both British and European politics."

He was my generation although a little older, and apart from ...

Bill Richards RIP

Sad to read the notification of the death of Bill Richards ( Pe B 61-70) in the monthly CHOBA newsletter.

He was a magnificent sportsman at CH. 1st XV captain and represented London and the South East schoolboys at the same time. He captained the cricket 1st XI too I believe (Howard Holdsworth will ...

Re: Congratulations Gerald Davies - knighthood

When you consider some of the sports people honoured over the years Gerald's lifetime of service to Rugby Union, as well as his supreme excellence as a player, is well deserving of a knighthood.

Great man. Well done Sir Gerald.

Re: Howard Holdsworth Many Happy


Many thanks, Andy.
Yesterday was a hugely memorable day as I sang with my son in a choir for the very first time at the wonderful CHOBA carol concert in Fleet Street. It was great to meet up with so many Old Blues young and less so!
I was flattered when Paddy Castledine persuaded everybody to ...

Howard Holdsworth Many Happy

returns of the day and congratulations on attaining your 3 score years and 10.

In my opinion, as a distinguished Old Blue and Master for a quarter of a century or more, Howard deserves his own thread.

Re: A Victims/Survivor event


I remember exactly what you remember. I just got unlucky and was sexually abused by Burr between 1969 & 1972.

The whole point of the May event is to allow anyone who feels that the impact of what happened to them at CH damaged their lives (not enhanced it).

I have done my best.
