Anyone who is an Old Blue and is on the Association's database will get the magazine. If you don't know, the easiest way is probably to phone Wendy Killner to see if you are in the database. If you get Housey then you should be registered, but I know they are still struggling with the various OB da...

You won't provoke me into a Shoz type of 'knee-jerk' reaction. I have a great sense of humour, and I'm proud of it. Na-Na-Nee-Na-Na !! :lol: You KNOW what you are like. Incidentally did you know that the cadence of that 'raspberry' is the same in every language? Forget 'The Dream' and do 'The Phant...

Seems I was right, then Mary, though there is no mention of the said place of employment !

I'm sure I saw him interviewed on a chat-show some years ago, where he mentioned a house of 'ill-repute'.

The Old Blue is with the printers in its final format. It has to be printed, bound with a separate cover, similar to the school Blue, sent to the distribution company and despatched. Estimated despatch date is towards the end of next week, so that it should hit doormats before the end of January, w...

Well I like them both. no, Mary , no ! Lionel Ritchie comes from R & B , soul, funk whilst Barry Manilow is basically marshmallow and lift Muzak ... I understand his musical career started by playing a piano in a brothel ! There is also some connection with Bette Midler, though only musically, ...

I was in Sherwood from 67 - 69. In my day, the Halls were single sex. From what I remember, Florence Boot, Nightingale, Cavendish, Willoughby and Ancaster were women's Halls. I went out with someone from Ancaster and she was very definitely female. I spent my third year in a flat near Trent Bridge....

I think a Midsummer Nights's Dream is excellent for schools, there are all sorts of parts big and small . It doesn't need to be expensive. There was a recent production which was set in the Victorian era. http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0140379/ Baz Luhrman set Romeo and Juliet in Verona Beach Californi...

That's all right, then Mary !! Nothing like leading a sheltered life !! If you have learnt nothing else from this forum, JR it must be that we were sheltered - at least in theory and while we were behind the high walls. In my Senior VI term I went to Ireland for a cousin's wedding. This entailed ca...
