Owch. Poor guy. Whereabouts is the 1st XV pitch (am I right in guessing it's the one by Peele pitches? I'm not of the sporting persuasion, so I wouldn't know) As that`s the only point where the railway runs near the school grounds............ where else would there be a railway crossing on school l...

Re: Word of the day
Knowing that many of you use this forum for its, ahem, 'educational' value I thought I might share the word of the day from the Oxford Dictionary of English, which is circulated by the O.U.P. This one's from yesterday (our nautical friends in the West might already know it, though): pelorus • nou...

I think they do now... You're absolutey right Matt ! At a meeting at the 'Skool' a couple of years ago, some of us 'older' OB's were told that it is now the 'Skools' remit to accept applicants from the Home Counties and London first !
