"Relaxation" Sessions. Yeah Right. DNP admitted to me that these sessions were cunning covers for "I've got a hangover / I can't put up with twenty screaming thirteen year olds running around my theatre."

Just like Dr Dillow sticking on a Blackadder video P1 on a Saturday.

That's so sad. But I guess I'd rather go out with a bang than fade away. He was certainly one of the teachers at CH that made my time there more than worthwhile. He was a gem of a man. Comedy French idioms like "Not tonight, I'm washing my hair" will be with me for ever. And those Ice Axe ...

So which members of staff inspired you most whilst you were at CH? Or who do you remember most for what they taught you? good or bad; academic or otherwise?

"Power to the end of the phrase."

"Eyes, Teeth & Tits"

When I first arrived at CH - I hated the Brangwyns. I can't say that they're my favourite painting style - but I grew more fond of them over the years. They weren't a very good evangelistic tool to me. Although in the years subsequent I've had those "Ah - that's what that picture was about!&quo...

And? I don't see them posting here...

I went to So'ton Uni.
Am happy to comment - halls of residence, areas of town to avoid, decent (student) pubs, recipes for Juicy Lucys (a Southampton Cocktail special), et c.
