Unofficial Christ's Hospital Forum

I guess I'm viewed as an "insider" and hence not allowed to join your illustrious drinking fraternity?? and sorority - let's not be sexist, now! :lol: No, there were just 3 forum members present on Saturday (+ Mrs. J.R.) and a nice time was had - interesting chats, a few decent ideas flyi...

The matter of Security and Identity was raised over a pint or three last Saturday. As the ethos of the school has always been for the welfare of OB's, (allegedly), I suggested that all OB's who wanted them, be issued with an identity card by the Orifice so they could have open access to the school w...

Any takers for an evening drink?

You'd need to speak to the Kommmittteee on that one, Julian !

Kiff bowls!

Never heard of them - must be too young!

Housey slang.

Kiff.

Flug.

Crug.

Bockers.............................................

There is a small book of Housey slang available, a lot of terms which I'd never heard.

Nice one of my dog!! ???? Oh dear, is there a Mrs. Slocombe reference bubbling away here somewhere? Haven't seen the lovely Molly Sugden around Dorking recently, though she has moved slightly further out from her old home in Ockley ! I loved her 'Pussy' stories. Pure class. Would they get away with...

When I turned up in Barnes B in 65 I seem to remember initials burnt into the study door (up market grafitti) including a neatly burnt "CMES" which we all found entertaining as Clarence Milton Edward Seaman was also our esteemed head . He always reminded me of a bird of prey as he stalked...

He also got DANGEROUSLY close to a certain pub on Saturday, but wasn't allowed to play..................

(All together now .............. Arrrrrrrrr !)

All his dogs had very strange names, if memory serves.......

Time for your I.D. card theory, J.R. Why bother with an I.D. Card ? One Security Officer, male/female. (Female - No problem - Will be 'doing' her hair !) Security camera's ? Great. If she's doing her hair, she won't be watching the monitors. We've already established that there aren't any dogs ! (I...

There are a large number of security cameras though...

DON'T START TEMPTING ME, MATT !!!!

I'm not a great lover of euphemisms for bodily functions. Tell it like it is, I say! It's all perfectly natural, after all. 'Rest Room' indeed. French towns and villages used to have 'pissoirs' everywhere - no messing about with silly names there. Remember the Sydney Olympics? Hordes of visiting Ya...

Is this a non sequitur JR? Yes, I am scratching head a little - why should serving as an extra in a St Trinian's film make one a successful whatever in film and TV ...........?? Is he perhaps a porn star? Wouldn't think so, Dave, though I haven't spoken to him since leaving CH. The sands of time mi...

Coffee, occasionally JR - but it was almost indistinguishable from regulation kiff. Drunk from kiff bowls and probably prepared in the giant kiff VATS which steamed noisily in the back passage of Dining Hall. PS Is it true that some wag sent off a sample of kiff for analysis and back it came with a...

What I couldn't stand were the St Trinians-esque gym pinafores we had to wear when we went to Ashbourne for athletics. Don't get me started, Happy ! Did it include the regulation stockings and suzzies ?? :roll: :shock: :shock: :lol: WHICH REMINDS ME ! A great mate from my Col. B days, (No names - N...
