Any idiot can deal with a crisis. It takes a genius to cope with everyday life.

Yes, I managed to have a chat with him too. It's been a long time since he tried to get my Latin up to Oxford standard.cj wrote:JED seems to have discovered the elixir for eternal youth. Or parsing Latin verbs puts the ageing process into reverse.
It's nice to know that he still says "yes" about once every second while you're talking to him. Some things never change!

On my screen, this comes up as 'Topic Reply Notification - I bum'. Quite appropriate for a public school.

I've only ever heard of him referred to as 'Rocker', well after my leaving CH, so I think it must be quite a 'new' thing.cj wrote:And why the moniker 'Rocker' for Mr Rae?

Bizarrely a friend knows Emily Cummings .. Through this friend we have met at numerous social occasions over the last couple of years ... Neither of us realised that we were in the same year and many of the same classes at C.H.
Only a month or so ago did the penny drop...

As far as I'm aware he's living in Scotland, and is involved with the Caledonian Society of Blues.Scone Lover wrote:And for that matter what happened to Revd Atkinson after 1978. He was my housemaster when I was in Mid B. It would seem that there were big changes after I left
Kerren will know for sure - she was due to be speaking at their Founder's Day do yesterday.
Nick Jones took over from I.A. in Mid B - his style was rather different, to say the least!
