Retired Classics teacher, frustrated actor/director and even more frustrated golfer

@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 ❤️

@rgs_classics With you all the way! 🤩
Is it the Hotel Alcestis?

[Tim Clark @captainkorks]

@rgs_classics What’s the name of the hotel? I definitely recognise that view!

[Tim Clark @captainkorks]

@rgs_classics Although it seems everyone was at it!

@rgs_classics No carving your names on the columns, please - only Romantic Poets get away with that. Can you find it?

@RGSHWSport @rgshw @Eton_Fives 2/3 until c.1974??, took a number of us fledgling golfers under his wing and, memorably, entertained us as his guests at Ellesborough Golf Club. Lovely man - one of

@RGSHWSport @rgshw @Eton_Fives I spent so many hours on these courts (still two?) - Tim Clark, 1969 to 1976. Just introduced my wife to the game (unknown in northern climes!)
And, on another note, I was delighted to read that OW Ian Pattinson is the new captain of the R&A. Ian’s father, Reg, our deputy head 🧵

Just to put this out there with clarity: Robbie Gibb, who is responsible for turning the disgraced JC into a right-wing Pro-Netanyahu propaganda rag, is one of five people - including the Director General - on the @BBCNews editorial guidelines and standards committee. It’s on the BBC website.

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.

Hoping someone has come forward to claim this gorgeous boy?

@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.

@tillers2214 That’s lovely, Simon. She was quite a lady - had to be to produce you!

Interesting that this DfE guidance on identifying RAAC (Guardian 2/9/23) appears to have been published in August 2023. In plenty of time for the new school year then….

@iaincartergolf @BBCSport Apologies, Iain.
