Just watched Mean Machine, starring ex footballer Vinny Jones, on the box. Jason Flemyng, an Old Blue I understand, played a cameo as one of the commentators on the match between the Cons and the Guards.

Vinny and Jason also appeared together in Lock, Stock And two Smoking Barrels and Snatch.

There is a programme about Beethoven next week (Friday) on BBC2 involving Charles Hazelwood, another Old Blue apparently.

Sorry if all this is old news!

Indeed he is - and probably one our highest profile famous Old Blues at the moment?:-

Twas on the tele last night. I better film than I thought it was going to be.

The two commentators in question certainly knew how to use the 'F' word !!

It's no big deal but I just wondered why the first part of my post relating to Mean Machine got chopped. I don't recall swearing or anything!:-)

It was a quirk of the automatic word censors that went wrong - now corrected!

Spot the dodgy word in "Just watched" and you'll work out what it was - took me a minute to spot it!

If you read this month's Empire magazine, on page 44 you'll see Leo Gregory who was on my year at CH, who is starring as Rolling Stone Bryan Jones in Stoned, premiering at the Cannes Film Festival. Not bad for someone kicked out for being a troublemaker, eh? Fair play to him.

It took me a couple of minutes before I SNATCHed it out of thin air !

Si D'Arcy seems to pop up all over the place. Think his professional la-dih-dah acting name is James D'Arcy.

I'm sure I saw him in Master and Commander.

I also belive Jonny Boston is doing pretty well on the Jazz circuit at present.

Rather proud to say that he's my cousin. Although the thought chiefly makes me question WTF am I doing in advertising???

Ah yes... I find it rather easy and it pays well.

But is it what I want to do? Let me put it this way. The most inspirational figure I met at CH was Mr Hargraves (English). Very much the 'Oh Captain my Captain' figure and uncompromising to the last. Well, I'll know when I'm doing the right job when I'm no longer ashamed to meet him again and tell him what I do.

Now all I've got to do is DO it (darn that catch).

BTW... hearty greetings to you all. Julian: fantastic job getting this site together and many thanks for your on-going effort in keeping it running. Apologies for taking awhile to post. Fatherhood, slackness and probably above-average ADD keep me forever disorganised.

Ahhh. I remember Mr 'Grevious Bodily' Hargreaves. We never did see eye to eye and I remember flicking ink on one of his suits only to be amazed at the speed that I was dragged into Osram's office to be accused of the attack. "Turner", he lisped, "only you would be so stewpid as to flick ink on a master when evewybody knows you are the ownly pupil to use TURQUOISE INK!".

Mr Hargreaves, I apologise unreservedly.

I remember Charles as well, carrying off 'The Golden Baton' during a school concert where Mid A sang 'Moonlight' rather splendidly (if I say so myself!). I'm sure we were in some lessons together but as he was an ex-Maine-A-er I think we kept apart...

As for Jason, we shared many a lesson together in set 7 (out of 6).

Here's a picture of us getting hammered...
