  1. whats happened to all the ex pats? is every one on holiday?
  2. well what a few days of absolutely fantastic weather, and more to come.went to blakeney and then on to wells next the sea today just for a run out and a couple of pints and some lunch in the ark royal tavern at wells, it makes our old school seem to be even more of a dark distant past. never mind the thing on my mind at the moment is what do we do tomorrow?well richard it will soon be wednesday at the nelson and l am really looking forward to the meeting , will you be bringing the wife ? l will be with mine so l think it will be drinks and food before the train back home cheers back on later
  3. cheers for the response richard , l have known my spanish friend for 30 years but lost contact with him until recently when he popped up on facebook ,just shows the power of the web. l can only hope that they have caught him in time for some succesful treatment. back on tomorrow taking the wife to a really pleasant spot tonight,l dont know if you might have heard of the Dales country park richard? its at upper sheringham and is quite nice seeyou later.
  4. sorry for not being around for a few days but some bad news came from a friend in spain ,He has already had bowel problems and he had some more tests and they have found two more tumors so what with that news l have been a bit sidetracked but l will be getting back on a bit later cheers
  5. :) l usually get to the nelson about 3 30 4 00, will it be a rolled up copy of the daily mirror or a carnation worn in the lapel? .l dont know about you richard but l look at a photo of me when l was 18 and l dont even recognise myself so it is going to a bit of a task for any body else!
  6. hi richard l sypathyse with you , mr glasby took me for maths also, we used to get theorems to learn for homework, the next lesson we would be sat in class and he would hand paper to everyone and we would write what you had learned perfectly or else. well on a lighter note, l see you are based in norwich,l will be in norwich on october the 5th to go for my two monthly injections .if you would like to meet up let me know and we can arrange a time , l always finish my day in norwich by going to the nelson hotel.
  7. hi once again richard, l have browsed over the photos,once more and can't see anyone l remember. my last year was 4b and l left in july 1960, l got special permission to leave at 15 because l had managed to get myself an apprenticeship with captain boyd-rochford ,the queens trainer for her flat race horses at newmarket. l was quite a good rider back in those days.after l left all the apprentice jockeys went on strike for better conditions in there lodgings and more money,the point being that this gave me time to rethink about leaving the comfort of my home and family,the family and comfort came out a clear winner,if you can pardon the pun.this resulted in me spending the summer of 1960 going riding at the stables where l had learnt to ride ,going to show jump meetings before my dad said son time for work,and l got a job at sanderson brothers and newbold as an apprentice universal grinder.any thats enough for one night about my exciting life,some of the future chapters are equally as thrilling as the first one.watch this space for more to come
  8. l dont know if l wasa target for the cane fanatics but my list of caners is as follows,mr furness,mr lupton ,mr pashley, mr glasby( behind the blackboard). can any one remember the punishment book on display on a desk in the hall?it had derek dooley in the pages for all to see.do you remember at break time all the teachers having coffee at a table in the hall ? one of the girls who helped to serve up was a girl called jean or june burdon, a memmorable girl, quite well endowed, another was audrey knowles, also well endowed , does this say anything about our teachers?well l think this quote contains food for thought
  9. great to see all this activity ,by the way,unfortunately its 9 05,wine time a nice glass or two of red back on tommorow
  10. hello to every one on the site,l dont remember grafton 57 ,l think l must have been a year ahead.but l remember mr pashley and getting the stick for talking in his french class that he taught when he first came as a teacher.Richard mr clark taught geography with quite an effect if you got the wrong side of his bunsen burner rubber hose!
  11. hi richard l remembered another teacher who came to owler lane in the year l was leaving his name was mr anderson, l dont know if you remember him? l cant acctually thik what he taught us , could you ? if you know of him.
  12. hi richard and alzymer well we seem to have all got our old memory boxes activated,l was sat thinking tonight and l remembered a teacher called miss/mrs needham she taught us history in the classroom next to mr clarke.how did you ,richard come to be in norfolk?l went a long journey via working all over the country,marriage three kids divorce remarriage three step kids several exchanges off location and finally total karma in norfolk my final festing place.l will try to scan threw you photos some more later , great to hear from you both ,keep in touch.
  13. l had a closer look at the photos and recognised mr harrison he taught me commerce and book keeping,l will have to see if l can dowload them and blow them up in some way. do you remember gary cutts,lionel clarke ,peter cutts.they were all names from my form.
  14. :roll:hi richard,l posted a message last night but it seems to have got lost in the atmos. l dont seem to recognise any one in the photos but it is a long time ago,l see you have landed in norfolk as me and my family have,keep up the contact as it does seem to jog the oldd memory box.
