maybe I'm a jinx

Hi, Mandy, Sad all your schools have been knocked down. None of mine have, my first school, Star Lane, London, my niece goes to ( i went there 1970). My scond school, Abbotsford, Glasgow, my grandad went to in the 1920's. My 3rd school, Adelphi, Glasgow, my dad went to in the 1950's and Eastlea, London, my son went to as will my neice. Abbotsford is now flats and Adelphi a centre of some sort.

I'm not a "younger member"

Its got nothing to do with being a "younger member", in the olden days they built things to last

**Ged** · 07-26-2007

Ha ha, I asked for that didn't I.

I don't ever remember needing to shave at such a young age, it's funny how the mists of time cloud things over.

hi ged,
just got your 2nd book, where you mention your school,st.Greg's,and various teachers, specifically mr.Crowley, who's son i went to school with!Your image of him with the cane,and keys,in reception, was pretty terrifying, but he always seemed a nice enough guy, when i was at thier house, and i always thought it was amusing that his son couldn't tell the time

i went to the youth club a couple of times,(about '67,'68) but dont remember anyone's names, except pat gandy, for some reason, and a guy who's nickname was"beaky"! One memory i do have, is of the the girls in the youth club screaming in horror, when Robin Gibb,of the Bee Gees, started singing "massachusets" on "Top of the Pops", every time it was on

In the book, you mention that mr.Crowley had a brother/clone? Was this really his brother? I also remember the rover car well! Great book,must get volume 3.
steve.

Hiya wsteve55. Thanks for that. There was an Arthur Vincent Crowley and his younger bro. I only found out quite recently that Mr Crowley senior was apparently quite a rugby player in his day and played Rugby and won honours though i've not looked into it any further. His singing voice resounded all over the assembly hall - Christius Vinschit, Christius Renoit or something like that anyway - all latin to me.

One had a brown Rover, the other, the same model in white. They were alright really looking back, if you had little to do with them that is. I remember someone drawing mammary glands on the cover of my lyric book to Joseph & his technicolour dreamcoat which we were rehearsing and he spotted it. I got the cane for not snitching (it wasn't grassing then) on the little toerag that done it because I wouldn't snap my arrow bar in half. I later changed that porn into a face

.

Where did they live, was it a leafy suburb, I always imagined so.

Thank you Drone Pilot for that. I forgot I was in the same class as Gerard and Ged.

**wsteve55** · 07-28-2007

Hi ged,
you're right about the leafy suburb, Crosby actually, where as far as i know, he still lives, though things may have changed, as it must be 8/9 yrs since i saw him, and his 74th birthday was coming up!?! His lad became a butcher!!

I went to Northway Primary/Juniors and Highfield Senior's or Broadgreen is it called now?

I Guess they were ok

**jon_hall** · 08-17-2007

I went to Northway, however mine was in Maghull. Left Maghull at six and a half and followed my dads work round the country.

From leaving Maghull and turning seven, i was in my third different place in six months
