Urgh my Pancreas (you need to get that looked at)

Oh, thank goodness, and 'Hello'.

I thought that you must be diabetic.

I can't believe you have a trike
I'm thinking of getting a cheap argos bike that folds because there is absolutely no space here.

my PDC teacher broke the key to his car in the lock this morning and so had to cycle into school on his lime green mini fold up bike! and considering he's a 6ft 2 blokey with THE loudest voice ever, seeing him hurtling towards me shouting "MOVE FOR GOD'S SAKE!" has to have been one of the funniest things i've seen this week!

will add you right away! never fear!

oh and josh... my friend beckie says she's your BIGGEST fan... she has the DVD and everything. She almost died when i said i had you on facebook

[Eruresto]

I did something very shameful when I read that.
I giggled - he sounds just like Dr. Herbert!

To everyone on here over 30, you've just gotta love'em.

[Eruresto]

Just to say, Phoebus is fold up!

I always take a real mug and a real teabag to breakfast, as not only do the plastic mugs not do tea justice, the tea you get out of the machines is decaffinated, instant rubbish.

Plastic cups? Would never have happened in my day Things must have changed We had urns at the back of the dining hall - I assume these have been changed for machines.

Didn't we have those institution green, melamine, picnic type mugs (and plates come to that) for meals? Everything tastes odd from those receptacles. RIP urns. Imagine the chaos with a machine - it's Terminator all over again.

Well, to catch a bit on this thread, my typical weekend on my grecians was thus:

lessons on Saturday morning followed by band and then band parade and then lunch.
In the afternoon, I may have gone into town, or watched cricket or rugby (no way I could play it) or be ayt Music School. In the evening, it was generally a disco which I would go to, hate, go to the Grecians' club - have a beer, come back and then have lots of coffee and tea in my study (one of only 3 downstairs left in the whole school at the time and therefore girls were allowed in) with friends whilst they decided that 1 7 year old probably shouldn't listen to Genesis...

Sunday, got up for breakfast (I ALWAYS got up for breakfast - we had a bit of breakfast club thing going on...), then choir practice followed by chapel (if it was full school in the morning...) By the way Josh, I take umbrage at you saying Shine Jesus Shine is 'tunage'... it's not...

Sunday lunch then followed, probably followed by some Scout instructing in the afternoon - then back to the house for a piece of toast followed by a coffee and then onto tea... Then I might do some work!!

Oh, and you may well be able to inherit a bike at CH if you are lucky enough!

What is this "Shine Jesus Shine?"

[Eruresto]

Yeah, I'm looking for a worthy heir to have Phoebus...or I might just keep him if nobody is available. I love your breakfast club, by the way!

And when Mr. Bawtree is hammering it out on the organ, SJS is definitely a tune.

[MKM]

What is this "Shine Jesus Shine?"

It's a worship song by Graham Kendrick. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gr5Y63bDNNg
I like the chorus, but the words of the verses don't quite fit the tune (IMHO).

What does tunage mean? Does it mean you like it, or dislike it?

I'm afraid SJS is an abomination, as are countless other dollops that the C of E seem determined to call "music".

[midget]

What's with "Worship songs"? Why not proper hymns? I must admit that I once upset a nun by sauing that having been brought up at CH on CofE hymns, I thought most Catholic hymns were very uninspired.

i like the idea of the breakfast club too... did anyone ever go as far to (and i quote) "blaze up" and do some ultra-cool 80s dance-moves to Simple Minds?
i am somewhat doubtful
they have a breakfast club thing at my current school, it's lovely, i can have a cup of tea and a croissant whist i'm on prefect duty!

from what everyone's saying it sounds like there's a disco every weekend... am i correct?

and thankyou still to everyone for all your info so far, it's been a great help!

Deeply, deeply did I regret at Sunday School that book of choruses called "Golden Bells"! Did anyone else have to suffer from this selection of choruses to which we had also to perform "actions"? Or was the Golden Bells Hymnal a South London Evangelical speciality?

Do you want a Pilot?
Signal then to Jesus!
Do you want a Pilot?
Bid Him come aboard!
For He will safely guide
Across the ocean wide
Until we reach at last
The Heav'nly Harbour!!!

Several hundred of this sort of thing, sung with actions and slightly out-of-tune piano!
