The ruder members of this community started a thread where all the smutty stuff goes and it's become a sort of in joke to DIVERT!!! when things look likely to upset the more serious members

David/Arthur Brows spent his entire first Saturday afternoon at CH killing crane flies. I wonder whether by chance they are related.

I think Arthur Brows has the distinction of being the only person to be expelled twice from CH. I heard that he died in a motorcycle accident post-CH

Actually, I read that in one of Mrs Plum's girly mags..
Make the most of the Marie Clares and Cosmos, with little Plum growing the magazines will soon divert into all sorts of oddness and questionnaires full of enquiries such as....

.....is bottle best (stupid question in my childless opinion as is always better to have a waiter manage the proceedings)
.....is he in touch with his feminine side (why any woman would wnat him to be is beyond me!)
.....what if he passes out in the delivery room (no comment)
.....what if he passed out at conception

you know the sort of thing!

Yes, you're right - he was expelled twice: Once for breaking into the master's common room, sneaking past Rae (who was asleep) and drinking the claret! He hasn't died in a motocycle accident though. Where did you get that from? Believe it or not he's an ex-Vicar, married with a baby and runs a number of Montessori schools!
