I remember shopping for ages for 'The Dress' and by the time I had got to the headmasters garden I couldn't bear my shoes anymore! I stupidly volunteered to help out with the fancy decorations which meant that by the time I had been into town to get my hair done and come back to Ch, blown up some balloons and faffed around for a few hours I was a complete mess! Col A Deps served us champagne - loved being in Col A! The food was horrid but the alcohol was good! Dad came in wearing his shorts at one point to buy me a drink - bless! He caught me outside having a fag as well but I think we said that we were inhaling the helium from the baloons or something!! We had Jazz Harry playing at ours as well and he hit on my friend Rosie afterwards!! I remember being awfully brave and being the first to ask the head to dance - he was busy dancing with his wife at that point! Didn't do the typical walk up sharpenhurst but stayed behind with a few people and Mr Walsh and played songs on the guitar and sang for hours. Was a great night!

Don't incite him, Amy - you know what he's like with the blondes.....blondie95 wrote:come one JR it would be highly unlikely of you to not! In fact it would ruin the status quo of the forum!

What happens if a politician drowns in a river? That is pollution.
What happens if all of them drown? That is solution!!!

Amy, the Prison Officer's Ball is not a dance, it's a raffle.
When I was nurse training in Sheffield I was once stopped by a motorcycle cop for speeding. He got off his bike and swaggered over, you know the sort, thinks he's in CHIPS, all tight leather trousers and sunglasses.
"Ma'am you realise you were doing 70 in a 50 mile an hour area?"
My friend leaned over and wondered in a stage whisper if he had any tickets to the policemen's ball.
the cop said
"ma'am, Yorkshire police don't have balls".
Realised what he had said, turned on his heel and walked away. I didn't get a ticket.

"If a man speaks, and there isn't a woman to hear him, is he still wrong?"
