So it was not to be. Just training. Not travelling to Rome. I guess Jones and Co. wanted to measure his progress.

Welcome back to the England squad after a year out with serious injuries. Shows what grit and determination can achieve.
Housey!

And, with grade predictions of 9 A*s, 1 A and 1 B, do I even stand a chance of getting in?

Best advice?

Be interested. Be yourself

Page 25 of the Sunday Telegraph today - Allam on tough times at CH, "Eton for paupers" Hi Ruth. Interesting article. We took the GE to The Globe to see him as Prospero about 6 years ago. He came down the following week to chat with the whole year group in the theatre about the play and it...

The comments were paraphrased from factual information from the police and from the school, and were added and edited by me. Of course there may be other unreported cases, either because there are those who do not wish to come forward, do not wish to make formal allegations to the police, or sadly ...

Hello Brown. You mention Andy Quest. Did he have a sister at Hertford? I remember the name Barbara Quest, but nothing else about her, except she was there in the late 1940s. hi Midget. No, Andy didn't have a sister, but it could conceivably have been an aunt. Andy's mate Time Cuddeford's sister Bec...

Or the afternoon where I caught the first half of Hawkwind's seminal "In Search Of Space" album at Lamb A, and then heard the rest of it about 20 minutes later, playing on someone else's hi-fi in Mid A. Amazing! And through friends playing me their records, I became a fan of Captain Beefh...

Certainly was. Tough opposition forwards; tough conditions. Acquitted himself well. Suspect the Aussie won't pick him for next Saturday's bigger match v Ireland

Howard, No. I think you are thinking of my younger brother, Peter Martin. He was at Macaulay for a year or two before CH. [My father taught there, at Macaulay, formerly known as Clapham Parochial, for many years. Did he not often give you a lift to school about a hundred years ago ?] You are, of co...

Chris of Macaulay?

One of the things I like about this forum is the way topics are allowed to veer off track, however I can't help feeling we've had this conversation about charity status numerous times on other threads over the last decade and more. Does anyone know how much Roger Allam's parents paid towards his fe...

Well, when he was there - it was.
