Unofficial Christ's Hospital Forum

It was always butter on the ceiling in Thorn A. Butter on the floor was also useful for a bored UF who had been instructed to deliver toast to demanding Grecians. Yeah....The pleasures of slipping on a buttered floor whilst carrying a pan of boiling milk and cracking one's skull. Absolutely unmissa...

Sorry, it's a good story but no, not true in my case. Perhaps someone else tried it and Bingo's memory is playing tricks after all these years. Bingo memory no play trick. Bingo memory top-hole. Simon Stock speak with forked tongue, lie to Bingo. But Bingo bets RR did lots of similarly fruity thing...

Bingo here. Just thought I'd drop in and deny these scurrilous suggestions that I lead a secret double life as Spoonbill. I don't deny being somewhat overweight, but I'm definitely not in the same league as friend Spoonbill. As for our friend Dirty Old Jack, who/what he is is anybody's guess. (brack...

Let's show a little respect for the dead, eh?

(I'm sure the poor fellow had to endure enough bum jokes at school with a surname like Bott to last him a lifetime. Let's not torment him beyond the grave as well.)

We're still waiting, Rubber Duck.

No more feeble excuses, please.

Well, that's that sorted out. And now for question #2.

Has Christ Horsepital ever hosted the BBC's famed granny-furniture bloodbath, Antiques Roadshow? If not, it flamin' well should.

Back when I was a babe in arms, the CH staff started staging plays themselves now and then, calling themselves Usher Theatre Company. I remember productions of (I think) 'Black Comedy', 'The Room', 'The Dumb Waiter' and (possibly) 'Hay Fever'. Fond memories of Reggie Watters & Pat Cullen being r...

I think it is applied to a man who has a short thick penis. Flaccid size has no relevance when erect. :roll: Let's see what the forum censor does with that. The forum censor's the least of your worries. It's the Chelsea Pensioners you want to worry about, what with how their lovely Remembrance Sund...

No. But when I was 16 I spent two weeks doing Work Experience at the laboratory of a mad scientist.

Or, hey, how about PREMISE: A group of teenage pupils go to Itchingfield churchyard, dig up the corpses of ten former schoolmasters, take them to the Old Science School and reanimate them. Then a camera crew follows the ten zombies for six weeks as they rampage through the school grounds, attacking ...

Did someone say Sex Education?

I remember people asking deliberately fatuous questions, like 'Can you catch VD from masturbating?'

I also remember a boy who fainted in class when shown a photo of a lady-with-no-clothes-on. (But being a great guy, I shan't out him publicly.)

Sort of a Rottweiler-Labrador-Bull Terrier thingy. Much more handsome than I've ever been, whatever the case. Spends all day lolling on sofas and failing pathetically to bark, growl or bite intruders.

Now where's that recent photo of Richard Ruck?

Back to the original thread, shipmates - and here's a recent pic of myself, in 'My God You Look Old' mode. I got my first grey hairs at 22 and had a full head of the white stuff by 38. Still, at least it's all my own hair. (The thing on the left is my son's dog Whopper and not some kind of horrible ...

Frankly, I was pleasantly surprised by how well the band came across at the Hammersmith Apollo gig. I'd imagined it might be a major embarrassmentfest and that the audience would be encouraged in advance to 'make allowances'. Mind you, there's no substitute for good-quality sound equipment; it can m...

Never saw them (the Exploited), although Wattie & co. were regular punters at The Edinburgh Nite Club where a lot of the really good smaller gigs happened. I see the Exploited are going out on tour again soon. I fear I'll be left feeling very short-changed if Wattie no longer has an enormous mo...
