MORE on Keith Vaughan (PeA 21-29) in his centenary year: an absorbing one man show about him, Locked In, is being staged this month at Surgeon's Hall in Edinburgh, with the tagline "He broke his own heart. Now he will break yours." (Press release here.)
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…
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.
By all means email me, but please don't be offended if there's no direct reply.
Similarly, please forgive any failure to respond to comments.

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.
