Not the only electronica fan as well as all the goth stuff I was into depeche mode. Me and tim ended up doing the music for a senior chapel when we used to have to do little plays and managed to play black celebration & blaphemous rumours along with the Smiths unhappy b'day, aptly enough given t...

I must have been a contemporary of your brother as I was in LHA from 85-89 I would have said I was one of the more hassled people (I would suspect Reuben might remember that me, veggie & a guy called pinhead got the worst of it at our time in LHA) but I didn't find it that terrible. I think the ...

But he still has waist lenght hair and wears mainly black.

I was his best man last June when he got married (and he was mine 11 years back)

Funny how spending any time in EJW's domain then was seen as wacky, whereas now I 'happily' :? spend more than that in front of a PC every day, and I am not even a techie. "Wacky" is certainly one of the kinder words I've heard... :wink: Shame we didn't all become Bill Gates -style softwa...

that is why they moved it indoors after 2 years Actually fairly sure it was the uncertainty of the British weather that forced it (or at least kept it) inside. The PA company wouldn't let us use their kit outside unless we could guarantee to keep it dry and we couldn't get any extra cash to pay for...

Which is why they used to hold the end of year "rock" concert there when it first started. Accoustically it was great. From a control of pupils point of view it was an unmitigated disaster with all the leavers openly smoking drinking which led to non-leavers joining in - that is why they m...

I think the cabinet is acting as a faraday cage

Well, in the good old days (well when I lived at CH) CHE used to run a lot of things on site, and there was PGL (boo hiss) and Greek dancers and weddings and conferences and all sorts keeping the place busy... however, since the demise, I don't think much happens in the holidays now... As i used to...

well I knew what I meant but cricket was never of any interest to me - waste of a perfectly good summers afternoon. In fact i remember a non cupties match against Peele (I think) where we were all threatened will various dire consequences as it was obvious we had agreed they were going to win before...

As i have worked in IT recruitment in Reading since 93 and now part own a recruitment agency I am also happy to give advice on either IT careers or recruitment Long and short of it being - if your uni offers work placements and they look relevant to your interests do it the extra year before you gra...

He had another daughter called Kate and son Joe who is the founder of wormwood who do the cricket bats.

I ended up at CH becuse of Mrs Sillett who was deputy head at my primary school in Slinfold (near Billingshurst where they now live)

2 years in a row (le & uf) I had him for French, he taught we so well that 1/2 way through the year I went up a set and got Mr Hayley who then failed to teach me more so I went back down the following year And the dog used to sit in the classroom and fart - and it smelt when it rained. However h...

Mr Cudlipp - oh how the mighty have fallen - 2 budding actors: i was a blood cell in Bodyworks and I seem to remember something along the lines of GCSE Drama... now reduced to IT analysts. Thanks to all who've added to this thread - us kids (thanks Tim) were chuffed to read wot you said bout our da...

compared with all thecopses outside LH you didn't have many trees near Col

I remeber for week afterwards climbing over branched to smoke in the copse - gave them a great excuse to flatten it

Actually the new block end of the classics block got damaged as well in the storm (I think Mr Martin's classroom) it had a tarp over it for weeks. I think I have a black & White phot of torkington's Saab I'll try and find it (as well as the preceeding 2 years of lhb photos to yours and the lha o...
