Tony I was at Forest Hill Boys from 1995-2000. In answer to your question, yes, we did encourage each other to learn. This attitude was enforced by our Irish headmaster who took an enormous interest in our academic well being as well as any personal issues we may have. His door was always open. My first two years were mired by the incompetence of our then headmaster Graham Agnew who didn't really take much interest in us and was more interested in writing about his charity expeditions although in fairness I and many others thought he was a good man none the less. When Mr Walsh took charge rigid and fierce discipline took hold. Trouble makers were often man handled from the class. Rudeness to a female member of staff whether she be a teacher or dinner lady meant weekend detention (cleaning the playground on a saturday morning). This was because being a boys school any desent towards a female staff's authority had to be nipped in the bud. A slap upside the head wasn't uncommon and if you were caught fouling on the sports field the games teacher would land a studded boot on your foot or leg. The parents would tolerate mild physical chastisement because they knew what a rowdy bunch we could be. However, a serious breach of trust would be reported to the Police and School board. This only happened once when I was there. I enjoyed my time there although the school I went to has since been re-developed to the extent that I no longer recognize it any more. Jah Lush wrote; "Was Mr George an English teacher? If so, I remember him. He was great. I made a point of going to his lessons because he made things interesting. I'd start to write poetry/lyrics and he would greatly encourage me. Lovely man." The same applies to me Jah. My English teacher Mr Bevan got me onto the school magazine/circular and would allow me to write my articles under a pseudonym, which on occasion would get him into grief after I'd mercilessly rip into the fashion sense of the P.E staff.

More a feeling of irrational confusion/frustration. Is there really any point in watching the first installment of Waking The Dead? A crime is committed and Boyd tries his best not to punch a female colleague in the face. The second installment pretty well sums up what happened in the first episode in the space of about a minute and a half and the rest is well worth watching. Am I missing something here?

Yeah I got a copy yesterday. I haven't read it yet but there's something about Brixton having it's own currency.

Oh and some contractors will offer a local school the chance to leave a time capsule in a deep foundation pad in a galvanised steel pod. There's one in the foundations of the new build going on outside Victoria station where the old Abford house used to be.

I don't know about any Miriam Horwood but I usually leave a letter laminated in plastic in a place I know will be sealed for many years to come. In the new nursing quarters that have been built for the new St Thomas's hospital is a half bottle of Scotch (cheap) with a letter addressed to the next person who tears down the stud walling it says," You will find his when I'm an elderly man or even dead. My name is XXXXXXXX XXXXXX. Have a drink on me". I'm not the only person to do it but I think it's nice to leave a message that'll cross time after I'm gone. I copied this gesture from the jokers that pioneered the idea by leaving a bottle of wine or scotch in one of the Dinosaurs in Crystal Palace park with a letter addressed to the next maintenance crew. I think Miriam has/had a healthy sense of humour, whoever she is or was. Leave her be.

Oh I see. I'm picked on for being the youngest again am I? Well at least I've never used pre-decimal currency at duty free!!

Oh very funny you lot, ha ha. I was only little and I used to see them on the T.V before Lovejoy. I'd never been abroad either so it looked very exciting at the time.

I know it wasn't free, but does anyone remember back in the early 90's the tabloids would carry an offer that would allow you a ferry crossing for ?1.

You'd probably get a telling off from the Daily Telegraph.

What do you expect Quids. You can only bleed so much out of a stone. That's why Murdoch hasn't touched it.

Buy the Mail on Sunday for the Dan Brown extract and nick the DVD from the Independant. Can't get clearer than that Rosie. If you feel guilty about stealing from the Independent then not to worry because the Mail on Sunday don't.

Quids, we all know you as a modest and fresh faced chap. http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Money/Pix/pictures/2008/11/11/loadsamoney460x276.jpg

I wish she'd fall on hard facts rather than pursue my defamation.

Well look what we have here! And trying to lead the men of East Dulwich on too... http://images.npg.org.uk/264_325/7/9/mw67579.jpg If D.M is as 'glossy' as she makes out then I'm Pip. Really D.M, what great expectations I once had of you.

Let's see now, soon D.M will be flirting with the notion that LibertyFlush would be engaged in acts of mutual ...er... admiration. I just wish that this middle aged woman would confine her fantasies to the privacy of her bathroom from now on. The grabby desperation of an old witch are not really for me...

"Indeed BBW, if you must use a blow up doll, why do you insist on using it in public?" The only thing I know of that is full of hot air and withers and shrinks under a bit of heat is you D.M.

There wont be any flirting between me and something I know nothing of. I don't know what I've done to deserve this but I've got nothing to do with it.

Anyway, back to the subject at hand. Rework of the Mitchell Brothers 'Routine Check' done by J.M.E and Skepta.

"Maybe them terrrrrrists are on to something." Or Mike Flowers.

"And if they didn't? Someone else would." Although I agree with you Sean regarding the argument Diazie is addressing I can't help but agree with her on this;

Sorry for bringing this up again but after what I saw on BBC South East last night. Lads, check out weather girl Nazaneen Ghaffar. http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.geocities.com/cbnazaneenghaffar/nazaneen_290808_004.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.geocities.com/cbnazaneenghaffar/nazaneenghaffar7.html&usg=__PGFX-q2OdM9dtItzXbT-TJQbB54=&h=596&w=861&sz=54&hl=en&start=5&um=1&tbnid=C82sfzfyIwyyTM:&tbnh=100&tbnw=145&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dnazaneen%2Bghaffar%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1

No but I know that Forest Hill Boys School could teach a few of the kids at Kingsdale a thing or two.

Reynolds house all day every day!!!
