For some reason, the famous past of interhouse games has sprung into my mind. I am sure the class of 90 will recall the even games we used to participate in around the fields and halls of quantock. The situation at the time seemed a little unfair with coledridge having more and seemingly better players at most events. I am not sure who selected the teams but i'm glad I was not a member of the Fleming team that was consistently beaten 68-0 at rugby.

What is more amusing is the events that used to be played and the rivalry between the sides. I remeber in the first year losing a deciding match in snooker to neil dunn in the room next to the tv + fire where the stench of dog filled the air and the the rank & file waited for the tuck shop to open and your fifty pence to be spent. Other interhouse events included chess, unihoc as well as the normal sports of course. I remember blakey being alright at cross country although phil muir seemed to have a rocket up his ass and could go around twice before anyone else had got up that massive hill, was it stony path or someting. I  also recall paul galley and one other mischevious sole heading across that camp ground and cutting a good 10 minutes off the run. You always were a clever one.

I am suprised we did not have interhouse darts or something similar although I am sure some of you can remember some intresting tales.
