Unofficial Christ's Hospital Forum

To sum-up a couple of points:- The idea of an Old Blue database is there (Who's Blue), just poorly executed? (in my opinion) It needs to be an online database, with secure login (SSL) etc. Members could then tick their interests from a list, and keep them up-to-date, forming our own CH Friends Reuni...

What would they have to do? Well, they need to improve the Blue - some help on jobs would be nice and careers too... The careers network exists - anecdotally just doesn't seem accessible, or responsive, in its current form. Hence part of the motivation for the Careers section of this forum Also, de...

One reason for the lack of older Old Blues is that I've been working my way backwards through Friends Reunited - hence, not having got to the older years yet! Simon and I have been working through, and have got back to around 1972 I think - will be continueing to do more years as time allows. Sorry ...

What they CAN do to justify your membership, or what they DO do to justify your membership?

I've got one from each year of Leight Hunt somewhere (gotta dig them out, sure they're there somewhere!) Will aim to scan them and post them up here. Would be rather nice to build a library of every picture, with names where possible, from every house, for every year as far back as we can go? If peo...

If anyone would like pictures hosted, please email to me and I'll upload on the server to then be linked to.

Suggestions for Poll options?

Thought I'd add my personal thoughts on what I think the CH Association should be aiming to do (as it now seems inevitable that it will replace the CH Club etc). I emphasise that these are my personally held beliefs, so feel free to criticise and argue with! 1. The CHA should engage with Deps/Grecia...

When I was there, you weren't allowed to cook toast until you were on the third form, then only at weekends. LE/UF could at any time. Juniors weren't allowed duvets for the first few years, and hence had to make those sheets/blankets beds each morning. Can't think of other major ones, other than tha...

Political correctness gone mad! Another example of over-sensitivity. As said, sort the real causes of upset, rather than the trivial. (I'm not suggesting that CH haven't sorted the causes, just that they should if they haven't!) So what does squit actually mean? http://www.dictionary.com says "...

So where does "skiffing" someone's bed come from?
Tim Benjamin posted it in another topic, and it was a word i'd completely forgetten!

So who got the cane, the slipper, or anything else? Pupil's don't know how good they have it these days - they just don't know they're born! (I sounds about 85 now!) Add your stories, reasons for punishment, and what happened. My only experience of corporal punishment was 6 whacks with a Dunlop Gree...

Just got a mate with some DVD ripping software, so should be sorting that and putting it on the server in the next few days (if I get time - it's taking ages reading all these topics each night!)

I'm keen to encourage people to carefully use Old Blues' businesses advertised, and just a reminder though of the disclaimer, especially the bit about "The Unofficial Christs Hospital Forum is not responsible for the accuracy and nature of content posted in our forum, nor are we liable for any ...
