I remember calling a non Foundationer pal for my A level results. Her M&D ran Peele A at the time and she was happy to secretly hand them out early.

It was 16 years ago.

The issue here is that I don't *know* KES Witley. I know that sounds a little silly but with what's happened, I need her to be somewhere that I have a good knowledge of. I've seen a lot of schools in the last couple of years for her but you never really get an insight into any of them on a day visit...

Entry 2007

We've got a problem at home - daughter (aged 10) already boards at a school (funded by my Old Blue contemporaries, before anyone throws eggs) and needs to change school in September. Due to latent family issue and the resulting missing the closing dates for every school under the sun, I contacted CH...

I have spoken with Paypal a couple of times over this and nothing seems to come of it. There is also an issue of telephone calls where they claim to be from somewhere like BT and then ask you to confirm your name and address before they will talk to you on some pretext. BT actually do this which is ...

Yowser.
I was shocked to find that the UK still hands out the death penalty - hanging apparently - as the House of Lords is the final appeal court for the West Indies.
Does this change anyone's views?

This may sound daft but I know someone who would really love to get tickets to a Twickenham match but maintains they are all allocated via lottery of members, in which so far he has not been fortunate....

Is this an accurate reflection of the situation or are there ways and means...?

Glad to see people coming - thought the only recogniseable face would be RP....any idea as to what we're singing? I was joking about Hail Gladdening incidentally.

Looked at continuing after grade 8 at CH but lessons were prohibitively expensive at Uni. Quietly fantasizing about a candle-lit scratch Messiah with total strangers.

I used to want a Ford Sierra as a kid - I grew up with land rovers and John Deer tractors so anything sleeker was an improvement. Alas, now a BMW driver....sorry. An aging 3 series ("Emily") who loves kids, bikes and supermarket runs. When I am feeling less sensible, I do like the power in...

Re: Verrio stuff. Can't get the hang of this quote business - sorry. Verrio was excellent. I still remember most of the details, like cost of the individual paintings and little anedotes behind various statues in the Quad. (Ben - shame on you!!)I really enjoyed it at the time.We got to meet a wide v...

Miranda Maguire.......I was soooooo jealous. She sang like a lark.
I have to say though that Chamber Choir could be a real laugh - anyone remember doing Music on the Lake? Hey Nonny no, don't fall in...
