Unofficial Christ's Hospital Forum

Anyway, back to topic... "Where was anybody when they heard Sgt Pepper for the first time?" Not sure I've ever heard it as such (shock, horror) but there is one excellent track which was used as the second title song (different words) for Pantanal - a soap with a thrice weekly audience pr...

I have posted before that I attended my godson's Confirmation during the early 90's and saw a very primitive dormitory where he slept. There were boards under the bed! It looked a dreadful place to sleep! Though I note via the Forum that you guys remember those days of cold baths and removing each ...

Becky: There are LOADS of places that might be able to help. Cowdray Park. Fontwell Racecourse Arundel Castle... to name but three. For that matter there are all those places which arrange weddings, bar mitzvah's (?sp) or, even better, get to shadow one of those society gurus who arrange the entire...

Sounds like a 2nd housewarming is called for.

Please accept my apologies for absence - I don't like driving on a bellyful of beer.

Enjoy it before you have to start cleaning the whole place again.

I can hardly believe this, but the Transport Policeman to whom I reported my lost handbag has tracked it down! Examining the CCTV recording , wonderful PC Gilbody saw a man board a train on another platform with my bag. This train stopped at two stations only, at one of which my bag was discarded! ...

My personal opinion is: of course we are European - that isn't our nationality but we are still European because that's the continent that our country belongs to. I agree with Graham - why are so many people in denial about it? Europe is a great and fascinating place. Nowhere else in the world are ...

Thanks David and Matt.... yes I am beginning to feel a bit like a victim! The Ins. Co is sending its industrial 'cleaner' to make an assessment on Monday - but e.g. one of the problems is thick white dust on the furniture in my dining room (next to the kitchen) and sitting room (open plan with the ...

Thank you all who have responded so helpfully. The good news is that I have found another company - 2 people for three hours or so = £90, to do the spring clean. The bad news is the dispute with the insurance company who continue to maintain that I cannot expect them to 'do my housework'. They are...

I only heard of D J-D's death a few weeks ago, and it has really re-engaged me with just one of the many lasting benefits which CH bestowed: an abiding passion for Shakespeare. As a 10 year old in PrepB I can remember seeing David's production of "Macbeth" in Big School , and it bewitched...

What DO they play at the Commonwealth Games?

How can you even mention such a sexist anthem? Does that reflect upon the Welsh nation? Are Welsh women to be ignored (OK so Katharine is translated English - I assume.)

If the BNP was to achieve a similar impact though the media would be full of it and the main parties may then be forced to give greater consideration to the wishes and aspirations of those who elect them! You might hope that but do you honestly beleive that the winning party would take a blind bit ...
