Bonsai; You are right, it is obvious. But what is becoming more and more apparent is that despite the protestations of a few that the governors, SEoS et all are becoming more transparent, they in fact appear to have absolutely no intentions of becoming so. The 'mystery 3rd governor' is no more than ...

Mike, all I can say is "Long may the dead bunnies live"

Yes - very much so.

My great-grandmother was there for a while - before she saw the light.

Mark Broadwith is, unfortunately, a New Zealander and the headmaster of the Ficino School in Auckland, New Zealand. Here's part of an article found in an "education advertising feature" in a local paper (The Aucklander) on 8 March 2006, under the title 'Unversality of spirit'. "Ficino School was est...

I have been following the various threads on this sight for quite some time now and of late it has become apparent to me that various parties from both sides of the fence have been doing their best to muddy the waters of reason. Here ar...

ADG: I agree that it is primarily the parents' job to instill self-discipline, (good) manners and a spirit of generosity in their children.

My wife thinks that's very funny.

But, being cat people ourselves we think that maybe you should remove that post just in case someone from the RSPCA sees it and has you up on cruelty charges!!!!!!!!!

I certainly dont remember any pastoral interest or care at St Vedast/James. Repression of emotion and problems was certainly encouraged. Any one with a problem was usually told they had too much of a sanskrit word (that had no obvious meaning). Does anyone know what the pastoral care at St James is...
