Don't worry about not knowing anyone, there will be lots of us - and as already has been said in another thread, we all have a great deal in common becauase each of us spent formative years in the same environment.

 

If Biggles is unable to attend I shall not know anyone - shouldn't be a problem.

 

Staying in the school Saturday -  is that going to be wierd? I would not want to  abuse the hospitality big time, but are we really going to be goody goody and go to bed early? 

 

Regards

Allen 

I shouldn't think so for one second. I certainly will find it weird but also quite comforting in a strange way.

 

Nick.

Well done Mark you finally got your ass in gear and put something on the site. I'm a fine one to talk I've been absent for a while.

 

from

John Rose your big brother

Mark,

 

I remember you and your brother John.  I'm at E12 on the '75 photo.  I was known as 'Mouse' - I don't think too many people knew my real name...Mike Neale, brother of Tony (D19 on the '75 photo).  I'll be going to the mini-reunion and look forward to seeing you and your brother again.

 

The highlight of this photo has to be Sean's checked jacket - I think it was mainly beige/brown in colour Sean, wasn't it ?!

 

Regards, Mike (Mouse).

Mouse,

Is it possible that it was Sean that threw the punch at Ball,as he was excluded from his class for something?.

 

I would have loved to have seen his bloody Volvo on blocks,what a delightful image!!.

 

Nick.

Mouse,

 

Remember you too!!!!!

 

Looking forward to a memorable evening!!!!

 

Bagsy Blue Dorm!!!!

John,

 

When everybody knew me i was 5 inches shorter than you, oh cruel fate, now i'm 5 inches taller!!!!!

 

Looking forward to seeing you, STUMPY!!!

 

Your BIG Bro

Mouse, I certainly was a bit of a fashion icon then! You should have seen the shoes, I think we called them stacks or something in those days, you know with the raised heels etc. Peaster issued a new rule that you could not have more than a certain height of heel.  It was the kipper ties that really did it though. Unfortunately the jacket is long gone, probably some trendy tramp wearing it somewhere. Of course the other fashion accessory was the yellow moped!

Nick, not guilty me lud! The only person I ever remember thumping was Maurice Crockett after he smashed the Branston pickle jar on my head. I got close to twatting Anthony Gee once also but he was such a fit and strange little b***er that I was worried he might have sorted me out.

 

Sean

Sean,

I shared a room with Tony Gee.He was completely weird,an absolute ace at table tennis but completely boring and devoid of any redeeming character.

On one occasion,Si Wardle and myself,unscrewed the top of his wardrobe and removed all of his clothes leaving him only the y fronts he was wearing.God we laughed at his reaction.!!!.

 

Nick.

Sean, (and others that have worked hard to organise the reunion)

 

I know i said i would be able to make the reunion, and believe me nothing would have given me more pleasure. But i went through a huge operation on my back a year and a few months ago, and to put it in laymans (i know thats spelt incorrectly!!) terms they fucked up!!!!! So i'm a bit of a cripple at the moment!!!Basically i have to have another op. I have good days and bad days, and i wouldn't like to gamble on the day of the reunion i have a bad day!! Age might be making me sensible!!!!

 

Sorry to let you down, maybe next time!!!

 

Regards

 

Mark Rose

Mark,

 

So sorry that you will be unable to come along.However, I can sympathise with your problem,I too have to see a neuro-surgeon on March 18th and discuss my spine damage!!.

 

Nick.

Mark, sorry to hear this, I know how bad it is to be with back pain having had a year out of action with a slipped disc.

 

Lets hope you hake the next one.

 

Sean
