@rgs_classics I hope Mrs Hill will continue the fine tradition of teacher performance at Epidavros - my Richard III is probably still talked about to this day (and not in a good way!!!😂😂)
@rgs_classics Hope the snow doesn’t mean the Pythian Stade has to be cancelled - although to be fair we were never there in February! Delphi remains one of my favourite places on Planet Earth ❤️
@RGSHWSport@rgshw@Eton_Fives 3/3 many of my teachers at RGS remembered fondly - John Samways, Ian Wilson, Steve Gamester, Roy Page, David Flinders, Jon Mitchell, Phil and Viv Ferris et al.

Minutes of the last meeting show they discussed complaints about Israel/Gaza. Quite apart from the fact he is not remotely impartial on the Middle East, how can the owner of a paper with such poor journalistic standards have a role over the BBC’s?
Robbie Gibb gets to censor the BBC's Middle East coverage. He needs to resign today.

@sarajcox Fred. Black cat with ‘Nivenesque’ white shirt-front. The eponymous cat-burglar - once left a paw-print in my mum’s trifle on one of his frequent pantry-raids. Never forgotten.
