I farted in the lift. If you smelled something funny, Chico, it was me.

I hope you haven't been at the lamb and mint crisps.

Looks like CMJ might have got it right in the Times this morning. He described Threaded, Chico and the like as “Vulgar”.

A few years ago I read a book about the history of British public schools - Sounds incredibly boring, but was actually quite interesting (although I don't think I ever finished it).

Anyway, Dr Keate ( http://www.etoncollege.com/eton.asp?di=317 ), Eton College HM in the early 19th century, used to birch any boy he felt was too precociously religious, on the grounds that an excess of religious fervour in youth would lead to dogmatism in adulthood.

He once birched a whole group of boys for loitering, ignoring their pleas, only afterwards finding out they had been waiting for confirmation class!

You mean the Dragon School in Oxford? Nah, but my brother was at Summerfields, quite near, and I gather there was some rivalry between them.

I also had weetabix, but I'm saving the latter for tonight. Gives me something to look forward to

What the hell are you doing crapping on the ceiling of the lavatory?

I've got a feeling I just answered my own question there...
