If you are using Netscape or are bit befuddled about how to add people to the photo list then you can simply reply to this message and I will add these people to the Photo List at a later date for you.

 

For Example:

E36  Donny Hobstubnoodle

F9  Nice boy Bill Coat Wilson  

 

I’m sure you get the idea!

 

Dear All ( and especially ABN)

 

I have updated some of the names in the 67 photo. There are more faces that I recognise than names I remember but perhaps the grey matter will start to function once more. I cannot temember the name of the elderly master in the robe - but he was a damned good Maths teacher.

 

Biggles

Wonderful, well done Biggles,

 

It is also good to put your name to a face that I remember. You have probably doubled the mumber of named Pre-Historic Old Qunatockians (and if that phrase catches on I suggest it gets shortned ).

 

Glad you also revealed the fact that you had changes names slightly on one of your postings, cos you had me thinking you had it right and I had it wrong.

 

Funny the little things that stick in your mind - do you rememeber Avi burning his fingers? Walking round the school for a few days using condoms to keep the bandages on? Lots of people, including teachers doing double-takes on that one.

 

I have lots more to say, comments to make on your postings, and things to say on other threads, including 'Peaster's Flat', but am also short on time.

 

It could be an idea to agree and post a time for a chat in the chat room? Subject - The Early Days?

 

Regards

 

Allen 

 

PHOQuers - I can see the reunion now,  us having a dam good chat, all the youngsters asking each other   'Who are those PHOQuers over there?'

 

I cannot remember the 5th form strike. I came back in the autumn term of 67 with the idea of retaking a few O levels (got 6 should have got 9 but was a lazy git). Thought it would be a doddle however, during the first week I was persuaded to leave and go to college for a couple of A levels, however, the college persuaded me to join an undersubscribed OND a business studies course, I had two years of fun at college,  but it was a bad choice of course, for me, at any rate.

Allen, I have a feeling there will be a few more pupils from the Quantock Dark ages at the reunion. There are a few of us from the 70's and I have recently heard from Andy Hale that Gerald Vince and Pete Heelis are out there in the fringes and will hopefulyl appear on these pages soon. They were very early 70's if not late 60's pupils.

Sean,

 

I do hope you are right and a few more sixties/early 70s people make themselves known.

 

In the 60's we really had a rediculous amount of freedom, pupils from the 90s might find many of our stories completely unbelievable, and we might feel we have less in common with these 'jonny come lately's'.

 

However, reading the thread 'seriously' I reckon we all have a very great deal in common, and the Quanny experience has, I am sure, left its mark on us all.
