Dr Sean Mason was a star - excellent chap, really inspired me to be an engineer through his personal enthusiasm for physics, and his willingness to talk about science off-topic. Had many conversations about quantum physics in my Deps/Grecians. John Stilwell - cracking chap, have loads to thank him ...

Was he still doing "relaxation sessions" after 1992??

What a skive - most people fell asleep, and it was a really great to chill-out in double Drama at 4.30pm on a Friday afternoon!

One thing I would suggest though is that you are careful to avoid turning it into a forum for setling scores! I see no evidence of this but if it is used as a Bash CH (no harm in constructive criticism!) site then it will come under some pressure I completely agree with this, and will be moderating...

From what I call tell, Lousey does seem to be a fairly typical school boy/girl publication! Extreme views, not necessarily at all fair, but deemed amusing. I'd probably also suggest that anyone who's getting attention in it, probably means they're making a difference of some sort... Lousey authors:-...

Ian, Thanks for the info, and for coming on to put the record straight. I'm really keen that there's sensible dialog on this one, and hence thanks for your views and explaining where we are, and what to expect! Something that I do feel has been lacking recently, and hence some of the potential ill-...

indeed, which is why most of our generation don't see 'bombing the sh1t out of something' as the ultimate solution to the worlds problems.
We don't?? I thought that was exactly our problem?

Go for it, sounds great. One question for discussion:- Is being an Old Blue enough of a common thread to get people to want to meet up? Old Blues Day: common thread that we spent 7 years there, and nice to see the old place again. Other than that though, isn't it more of the activities that bring pe...

Found this after a quick google:- "keep cave" - keep a look-out, keep watch. Cave in Latin means beware (as in cave canem, beware of the dog), and until recently children used it as Stalky does. from http://www.kipling.org.uk/rg_unsavoury_notes.htm keeping cave......well never said during ...

It always struck me as being a bit odd or o.t.t. when people took that aspect so seriously! But wasn't it interesting how much it mattered to you in the second form, and you looked forward to the privileges etc. of the next year? Something as simple as being able to turn around your gurdle, and the...
