What is the world coming to? Bunch of dossers ....

Every morning a DJ (it may have been Chris Tarrant) would ask a question and the 'best' answer would win a prize. I remember him asking this question in 1979, shortly after '10' came out, and the winning asnwer was Ravel's Bolero.

for those of you who are not old enough to have seen the film, or with bad memories, this was the music playing as Dudley Moore was drooling over Bo Derek as she walked along the beach.

I seem to remember seeing a Danish film demonstrating how this should be done !

What happened to Shoz, by the way? Did he leave the forum for the second time in as dramatic a fasion as the first? And did you ever find out what he was? I miss so much of the fun stuff

I do remember Richard Bond now you've mentioned him (did he teach politics?? ) but that's not who I was thinking of. I remember having Mr Sims and this other bloke for our polecon lessons - his classroom was one of the ground floor ones near the Octagon.
This is still bugging me Wondering if maybe Hoob can remember the name of the politics teacher we had at this time?

Thanks to the OB email from Steve Webb today I now know the name I was searching for - it is Julian LAWSON-HILL (Staff 1986-87)

I'd blame the lads myself - I was the only girl in that class

Was the only girl in English as well

The only lessons I had where there were other girls was history!

I was the only girl in my history GCSE group, with Andrew Husband. He took me aside after the first lesson and asked if I wanted to switch subjects but I was adamant that I wanted to do mediaeval history, and after that never had any trouble with the boys in the class. I think I earned their respect by not running for the door and other girls company.

He took a lot of people aside.

When did Thursdays become half days? Pretty sure they weren't when I was there.

Weds was a half day back in the 70s & Thurs was hobbies afternoon.

Have only just found this forum, so am still getting used to the layout.
Shoz - there is just so much about CH, you'd have to be a wee bit more specific. I'm sure if you PM anyone though, they'd be more than happy to answer any of your questions.
E

Writing as a another "old school Blue", I must say it's encouraging to know that CH is still producing people like yourself. I've just found the forum myself after much cajoling by "Richard" - he was known as Dick when we were at school & my kids just call him "Uncle Biggus"

I think that belongs on the film quoted thread.
