On our LE in Col.B we climbed out the lav end windows one gloriously sunny afternoon to sunbathe on the roof of the house tutor's flat - about 6 of us were out there. I have pix somewhere. Naturally we all denied it that night to Jude Avenell who had stormed into dorm that night with characteristic ...

Kept mine too...

Just taken a gander at the list - Anyone remember Maggie Williams? I think it is great that they have some award named for her. I presume the Maggie Williams Cup is given for being a real sporty bod?

Jude - careful. I still wanted to be a medic after my languages degree - turned down a funded PhD at Harvard - attained rank of "Mother" - went back to college for a year - got the medicine required 4 'A' levels at A grades, worked every Friday night, all night, at A&E, along with load...

Good luck Dave - I would get a list of governors and start petitioning them. You never know. What about the Worshipful Companies entry categories or other minor entry routes? Are you related to John and Francis West? That could trigger the interest of the Wests' Gift route...? I think this could nic...

We had fawn knee socks at Hertford in 1985 - and awful nylon fuschia pink ankle socks for games due to being residents 7's. I recall one morning we were lining up in the house hall ready to march as a house to the assembly hall, and our LE told us to put on these pink socks as Ms Morrison wanted to ...

Miss Champion made us learn it as prep one night and we all had to recite it in front of her, encouraged by the prize of *gasp* a FORM STAR!

The pressure was terrible.

I have read both threads but something still bothers me.. I don't think there was ever any bothering them per se, just people chatting and I am sure no-one would intentionally cause distress, certainly to an individual who has done such a sterling job - lets face it, we may be a diverse bunch but we...

Epidurals? The combined sort (there were 2 a while ago) mean that you feel nothing from waist down but still have the use of your legs to potter about, make tea, have a conversation without clenching teeth. That sort of thing. Its having your cake and eating it, unless something goes awry. It's the ...

I take it you ladies have read the debate currently raging about charging people for epidurals?

I have just realised that I unconsciously crossed my legs about 10 seconds ago. WTG with the accupuncture though CJ.

Does anyone remember a nurse named Pat Wallis/Wallace?

Just seen the original thread....
Ben's issue still stands - who is taking over? They must have some idea. I should imagine most of the parents of the new entrants would like to know too.

Julian - I am sure many of us would like to play in a concert - can you keep us posted if anything comes up?

My last post didn't make it so here's the brief version: I suspect this quote was meant to provoke rather than having a basis in reality. Why? Because we've seen 8 leading public schools since Easter, I finish my list in January 2006 and I can safely say that only one school has facilities and resso...
