Re: Puke Fight!

There were boys in PeA who suffered from big fish in small pond syndrome. Nobodys who thought they were somebody. Thought it was cool to talk absolute twaddle in the dormitory until 12:30am every night, keeping everybody else awake. Nothing was sacrosanct: 1.I aways had my rugger boots and trainers...

Re: Puke Fight!

AMP- you were punched in the face repeatedly until the House Captain broke his wrist??? What??? Sounds like Nazi Germany or a Gulag rather than a school in Sussex in the 90s! Your face must have been a bl**dy mess by the time he broke his wrist. Not necessarily - it's quite easy to break one's wris...

Re: Puke Fight!

Why did life have to be so hard? The state of the kitchen didn't change, but the level of mindless vandalism was definitely lower when I got there, which I'm guessing would be around the time you left? Stuff went missing all the time but you'd usually get most of it back. In terms of clothing that ...

Re: Puke Fight!

Agree. The culture stunk. Definitely. From the time I started at CH, Pe. A had a pretty bad reputation, so much so that (years later) more than one guy on my year told me that when they found out it was going to be their senior house, they started crying. I was just glad I wasn't going to Th. A. Th...

Nope. Jim Endacott got that job and (IMO) he did a lot to change the culture of the house for the better. Agree. The culture stunk. Definitely. From the time I started at CH, Pe.

Re: Puke Fight!

Following on my earlier post today, in view of others’ comments on the use of bedboards, to my recollection those very few monitors who did beat (in the 40s & 50s) only used a girdle. ....only used a girdle...?? If i was to take a few strokes across the a*se, i think i'd rather take my chances ...

Re: Puke Fight!

Was Gladding Housemaster of PeA after Jeffers? Nope. Jim Endacott got that job and (IMO) he did a lot to change the culture of the house for the better. In my Grecians year, Howard Holdsworth took over from him and continued to improve things. There's only a few teachers from my time there I rememb...

Re: Puke Fight!

But when you say "completely lost it one night in his Grecian's year?"- was that on a Saturday night, by any chance...? Yep. Can't remember all the details but it involved booze and some other kid(s) getting a beating. Yes - that's the one - i remember seeing the after-effects - it was a ...

Re: Puke Fight!

There was one kid on your year group in Peele A who was complete nutcase. Unpredictable, and just a nasty piece of work... I assume you mean the guy who was (eventually) asked to leave because he completely lost it one night in his Grecian's year? The only surprise was that he lasted as long as he ...

Re: Puke Fight!

Gladding had absolutely outstanding apathy skills. To this day I have never met anyone who could give less of a damn. The greatest example of this would have been early one Sunday morning when Mr Gladding informed us that Daniel Smith had died. I can't imagine this would have been very easy for him...

Re: Puke Fight!

What on earth was a teacher (this Gladding creature) doing allowing it to happen? He should have been sacked and banned from ever having anything to do with kids; what a complete and utter tw@t. This is Tom Brown's schooldays stuff and utterly unacceptable. Gladding had absolutely outstanding apath...
