We are now getting phone spam at work. There is a company in Australia which keeps ringing (either Tim or Michael) and asking for one or other of us (not usually me which is strange because I usually answer the phone and I am the only full timer) and offer their services (whatever they are). One da...

between us we do have a very good memory of CH! I think we are all doing very VERY well!!!

I don't think anyone of us "Failed" on the presentation of the School Bible, I still have mine, which adorns the Bookcase, since I tend to use the NIV. The School version is interesting, in that it is the "Revised " not the beloved Authorised and contains the Apocrypha, -- wonde...

I went to Hertford on a double scholarship - one from West Sussex, the other from my 11+, I went to London, talked, waited, saw some people, can't really remember much of that event. I ended up chosing Hertford purely because it was as far away from home as I could possibly get - I had offers from a...

traditions such as those that have made CH need to be kept utterly. As a Hertford Girl, we sang the Votum (known to us as the Carmen as we had 1 verse less due to the bit about healthy males in the gymnasium!) At the end of term we would stand for grace, then were allowed to remove our pinnies and t...

Yes, to the extent that I am worried that my e-mail provider has blocked everything. Me too! I took to copying everything in and out to another email address, my laptop has never seen so little deleting!! I was staggered to read in the article (btw thanx for the post Kerren) that only 1 person resp...

My problem is worms (hold off a mo please JR, Prof U and Alan P5age!!), internet worms They get into my system and then mail loads of rubbish to everyone, they are not destructive and don't stay around for more than a week but my virus scanner won't pick them up as they don't do any damage........h...

In defence of JR, a similar thought crossed my mind (in a "carry-on....." fashion) :lol: MEN!!! :shock: why is it only you lot think the naughty things AND then type them up as well??? (sighs of disbelief, affected arm over forehead, eyes looking up at the ceiling!) Vonny, you just have a...

NEILL I think you're right about the size of the settles. Yes there were cupboards in the dayroom called lockers, doubtless because they didn't lock. It was a sign of increasing status as one moved from the bottom row (floor level) to the middle and then to the top. The Tuck Cupboard was (as you sa...

Wow - you boys really did get the good stuff!!! LOL ! ...and a rather small bedside table with a cupboard. A bedside table and a cupboard?? Eeeeeeeeeeeh by 'eck, you were reet lucky, we were so poor we 'ad to store our tuck in our unwashed socks... I would have preffered a settle to the round plast...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7725492.stm nope... but I guess my spam wasn't that high to begin with - although for some reason Canadian Tires are hounding me - I have never been to Canada, doubt I ever will, and being in the UK why do I need to know about their tyres (correct spelling!) Oh...

wow - it has taken me over an hour to skip a bit read a bit, skip a bit and read a bit to get to this page! Munch, your account was wonderful. I just hope that when I become the Devil incarnate of a M I L (son engaged...argh...no telling for taste!) I will live up to the title, and should DD get mar...

I swear it is due to having children that I have "senior" moments.... Mind you these days with google on line, or text to GOD you can get everything you need to know!

I bet Mary just KNEW the hymn!

When I read the title of this thread, I thought the subject matter might be slightly different ! Oh well......... As only you could JR!! Oh dear! Never been, would love to - but doubt I ever will. One of those things I guess! I quite enjoy the ferry to Ireland and back! It takes long enough to be a...
