Re: Do You Tell People That You Went To Public School?

Sometimes, if relevant or if I'm asked; and if that means some people trot out their preconceptions, then frankly, I couldn't care less. Yes it's had a large influence on who I am now, but it's not what defines me. It usually gets mentioned in a "I went to boarding school, if you think you can ...

Re: Two words to your younger self

Just try.

(that'll be in relation to the many things I was too shy/hesitant to actually do; being a teenager at the time, you can imagine what a lot of those were :roll: )

They would work near Blackfriars/St Paul's, start in the first week of November, and the job would be data entry and checking - we have to migrate from one CRM (customer relationship management, aka client contact system) suite to anot...

While all the ideas here are great, I would be tempted to say that a private community site geared towards this would be a great asset too. I don't have any solid ideas as to what that might be yet - a sub-forum with categories for different work areas would be a simple and quick implementation, a b...

Second up is usually how the Headmaster is incapable of talking to parents and answering queries. My advice for that is speak to the second master - they know everything usually and are very keen to chat. So what if the Head is aloof? I don't know him and it doesn't matter. The people who were key ...

The buttons thing was still semi-true, though people interpreted it as they wanted to more. A few people on my year (myself included) had two undone on each arm, for no reason whatsoever really except that it apparently looked better or something. Kids, eh?

Skip this one if you get offended easily: Sean Connery was interviewed by Michael Parkinson, and bragged that despite his 72 years of age, he could still have sex three times a night. Lulu, who was also a guest, looked intrigued. After the show, Lulu said, "Sean, if Ah'm no bein too forward, A...

Just thinking of a cute little 11 year old Housey boy with his socks round his ankles like Nora Batty thinking that Howes meant House Captain. Squits aren't cute. I don't know if they ever were, but nowadays (ok, a few years ago) they realised that older people couldn't do anything anymore after th...

I don't think I can remember them all, but we has Sam & Tom Curtin, and we had triplets as well - Eliot, Ryan and Julian Gregory. There might've been some others but I can't remember...
