Alan Dearman | alan.dearman@ntlworld.com Hi Dave, I will be attending the Reunion with Margaret, Dave Barlow & his wife dawn. 4 in total and will be in Hertford for the entire weekend so will require 4 meals. Can we settle up with you on the day as last year? Let me know if this is a problem. 23 August 2009 - Nottingham Dave Hello Terry is this the write up you remember if it is I'll send you the rest by email unless you already have the Goldonian in question. FACT AND FANCY A short while ago, in company with twenty of our junior boys, I had the interesting experience of seeing a film in the making. We watched for over four hours the efforts to film a scene which would, so we were told, take less than one minute when eventually it is shown upon the silver screen. This tiny part of the film story depicted the final stage of a marriage service, the newly married couple emerging from the vestry, turning to bow to the altar and walking arm in arm down the aisle, followed by the officiating priests and the congregation, of whom our lads formed a part. The proceedings were all very confusing at first, but gradually we were able to sort out what some of the dozens of men and women around us were doing. There were the Director and Assistant Director, the principal players or film stars, the stand-ins, the camera men, the wardrobe master' and mistress, make-up men, sound effects men, and a score of electricians, carpenters and scene shifters. The rest is far to long to copy onto the page. Welcome to the site, It's so nice to read your memories of Goldings Oh by the way do you remember Billy Knight, or his 2 other brothers from your era at Goldings? keep in touch,Dave 21 August 2009 Terry Davies 1953 -1956 | Lossalmos@hotmail.com I was an "extra" in the film "The Green Scarf", it was shot over two days at Shepperton Studios. Rev Corbett recorded the event in The Goldonian- Autumn 1954 We were not paid but a radiogram was installed in the Headmasters' office as a token reward. Halliwell's film review posts it as "a plodding courtroom drama" It has never been shown on television or made available as a DVD, even as a give away in the Mail on Sunday. 21 August 2009 - Norfolk England Ernie Andrews The next pandemic I went to a dinner party last night, where I and other guests enjoyed copious amounts of alcohol. I awoke this morning not feeling well, with what could be described as flu-like symptoms; headache, nausea, chills, sore eyes, etc. From the results of some initial testing, I have unfortunately tested positive for what experts are now calling Wine Flu. This debilitating condition is very serious - and it appears this is not an isolated case. Reports are flooding in from all around the country of others diagnosed with Wine Flu. To anyone that starts to exhibit the aforementioned tell-tale signs, experts are recommending a cup of tea and a bit of a lie down. However, should your condition worsen, you should immediately hire a DVD and take some Nurofen (Nurofen seems to be the only drug available that has been proven to help combat this unusual type of flu). Others are reporting a McDonald's Happy Meal can also help in some cases. If not, then further application of the original liquid, in similar quantities to the original dose, has been shown to do the trick. Wine Flu does not need to be life threatening and, if treated early, can be eradicated within a 24-48 hour period. Cheers! NOTE If you find you are complaining a lot, it may be that it has mutated into Whine Flu. This is particularly common in men and can quickly spread to their partners where the symptoms are detected as a serious case of eye-rolling. 21 August 2009 <<< 1 738 739 740 741 742 743 744 745 746 747 748 749 750 751 752 753 754 755 756 757 758 1149 >>> You can search this guestbook by: Message : - Name : - All : Please type some text: - Guest book sponsored by PC Home Help (01922) 626 366 - http://www.pchomehelp.net -
