"Brown" must be warned against the Pedant's Revolt !!
DS McNutt (Senior Classics Master and Ximines of the Times) wore no Hood in Chapel, rumour has it that HE had been Rusticated from Oxford (We know not why) but Oily Flecker had employed him because he was a brilliant scholar.

Would that have been 'Dulwich' Quest, so-called because he missed a penalty in the last minute against Dulwich which, if put over, would a) have secured the first victory against Duilwich since God was a boy, and, b) thereby won a case of champagne for the XV from Kit Aitken.Mid A 15 wrote:Welcome to the forum Brown!
Did your buddy Andrew Quest have an older brother called Steve?
Steve was my vintage and a bastion of the 1st XV and 1st X1.

Re: The Glorious seventies
Here's a classic shot of Fergus Brown c.1977. I remember him well, probably for all the wrong reasons.....Brown wrote: I also have absolutely no pictures of myself, so if anyone has any from this period, I'd love to get my hands on them.
I think this picture was taken shortly after he'd had his head sawn open so that the peanut could be removed. Took a while for his hair to grow back.

Sounded like a lot of the rules got relaxed when Miss Tucker got into the swing of headmistress. Still very strict in Oct 72 on long Sat when a group of us went by train to meet parents/friends at Liverpool St- we tried to put on make-up at the back-gate on the way out, but a member of staff spotted us and furiously told us : 'wipe that muck from your faces' . We were 16 after all for goodness sake!!Brown wrote:hi Midget. No, Andy didn't have a sister, but it could conceivably have been an aunt. Andy's mate Time Cuddeford's sister Becky was head girl in 79. Though I vividly remember some of the experiences when I visited (any red-blooded man would), I (understandably) can't recall too many of the girls' names.midget wrote: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.
