Another slang list
Here's my collection of slang, probably covered in the 20 odd pages before this one:
- Crud and Flab - bread and butter
The eternal and never to be banned "BOCKERS" !
Mobbing - to boot off a junior by merely due to the fact that you were senior
Squits - presume this one is still around
Snilliards - a mutant combination of snooker and billiards
KV (Kemp)
Fruit - attractive male in a slightly non-hetero context
Milky - fat
Daily Trades - cleaning up after meals
Cracks - corporal punishment by some sadist with a slipper (thanks Mr Grimshaw, I owe you one)
Chariot Racing - being pulled down the dorm floor on a blanket ala Ben Hur (responsible for my above "crack")
Bocker Squad - what you did if you were not in the CCF
Sicker - the infirmary
Maine B, then Lamb B, 76-83

Jonathan was taught Chemistry by Paul Maddren last year. Yes, he is still around and I am full of admiration for him.
Incidentally, his son James left CH last year. I saw him play in the Hall for Cornwall in the National Youth Jazz Orchestra last November. He is clearly a fine musician as, I believe, is his father.

James is an excellent musician - unbenkown to most, the 'non-foundationers' (ie teachers' children) every year do a mock panto/ nativity play. I remember James being the drummer in the band when he was 8 - he was already brilliant!DavebytheSea wrote:Jonathan was taught Chemistry by Paul Maddren last year.

Anyone remember doing a 'garage run' this is where you signed out to the 'library' during prep, then ran across some fields by the prep block until you came out on a dual carrage way where there was a petrol station, you would come out of the bushes jump over the crash barrier and run over to the petrol station, buy fags and run all the way back again in time for the end of prep.

This was the first time I'd seen him play. He was outstanding.

I remember doing the Garage Run
Don't think it was dossing over prep though
We did it one night when it was half term and we had to stay to go on CCF camp up to Capel Curig
All the boys were staying in Pe A (the only way) and when we got back we had a whisky and poker evening, i remember coming back from half term to find cigarette butts stashed behind my bed, it stank

If it takes 87 muscles to frown, if i frown throughout the day, can that count towards my daily work out?
