A spasmodic and unofficial blog about the former pupils and staff of CHRIST'S HOSPITAL
THE AUTHOR
An informal snap of Trongon relaxing at home
About Me
- TRONGON CHARSLEY
- was appointed to the staff of Christ's Hospital in 1552, in the important post of Coal Keeper. Four and a half centuries later, he continues to dole out grimy black lumps of this and that from time to time…

TAIO CRUZ, OLD BLUE?
HOUSEY VOICE
It scares me that we seem to be putting a lot more focus into league tables and results; that's not what this school's about. It's about giving people a chance and they do come right in the end. CH does create rogues, but loveable ones.

MANIFESTO
The main aim of this blog is to draw attention to a wide range of Old Blues and other CH people whose activities feature on the web. It seldom digests and summarises - it merely links to the raw material with an explanatory word or two in the hope that others will run with the ball. Every CH-related website, magazine and organisation is invited to plunder it ruthlessly.

The "Older Posts" link at the foot of the main page doesn't always work properly. If you use it to make your way through this blog, you may not see everything. The best way to read the whole of Houseyblog is to use the month-by-month links on the sidebar.

The publishers name about four of David McKie's eccentric subjects; Col A when he was there (and especially his year) would supply sufficient eccentrics to fill the rest of his book and make a good start on the sequel.
