I'm glad you picked up the tongue in cheek. I remember hearing, only 8 years or so after I left CH, that the 2 schools were to merge. I felt quite envious. I think it was Angela who said earlier that she was light years behind her contemporaries from "normal life" in terms of relationships...

Silk stockings and rugby thighs (oh, alright, just big thighs now) - I feel slightly nauseous. Where are the moderators when you need them? Angela, I'm not sure whether you're technically a Kentish Maid or a Maid of Kent, but you're clearly a bad, bad girl. What would Dot say? (You see? I've been lu...

Just as well there's no emoticon for fluttering eyelashes. (Oh, what have I said - there almost certainly is one somewhere!) Wheedle all you like, I'll never talk. (Unless you send me a Red Cross parcel to Thailand containing all my favourite goodies. Don't worry about the stockings, you can get tho...

Chris Read, yes, that was his name. Quiet (unlike Burr), but a good guy to have around the house (unli - oops, perhaps not). I think he used to tell us the occasional ghost story in the dorms, one of which was about a bloke with a wooden leg. I was in the lower dorm, and you could hear the thump of ...

Maybe when I know you better, Angela!

Ah the expat life!! I miss it now after 11 years back from Sarawak. I think Islamabad was one of the hardest postings for missing foods. I was in Islamabad 86-87. When I went back to the UK on leave I had to make sure I left enough space in my bags to bring back all sorts of weird and wonderful goo...

I'm a squit as far as this site is concerned, but, for the moment at least, a devotee (my doctor assures me this will pass, at least I think that's what he was talking about.) Somebody said earlier in this string (probably last year) that you have to read everything or you completely lose track, suc...

Angela, I'd appreciate your philosophical interpretation of Milk Tray. Here is a serious challenge. First I'll have to buy a box of Milk Tray, dob my way through it and make notes. Lovely to think that in Thailand you are thinking about Milk Tray! The list of things I miss is considerably shorter t...
