Re: first day of term for second formers

Can I also add my best wishes to all starting their new adventure today (parents as well as children) - I never knew my mother was panicking that much 29 years ago - but then I am male....... :lol:

.....and on the Apprentice tonight......

For those of you who watch the compulsive Sugar hagiography show with the jumped up TV wannabes claiming to be business men, a real businessman and Old Blue turned up tonight - Rob Harwood-Matthews, President of TBWA London, and Mid A House Captain 88-89.

He has not changed much

Re: Picture in the Times ? Housey

So who is going to send a letter to the Times to point out using an uncopyrighted work that is more than a century old is not a great illustration of a modern Psychoanalytical Study? :?

I have no personal knowledge of this gentlemen, but one of my staff passed a Telegraph cutting of his obit to me today as he knew I was an Old Blue, and we get an honourable mention - link below http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/military-obituaries/army-obituaries/8444071/Lieutenant-General...
