Dave Blower I would like to thank all the old boys and former Staff who so kindly loaned me a wealth of items and photo's recalling the there time spent at Goldings,especially Brian Archer a former print master who who chose his house along Goldings Lane,and then within weeks was told "Goldings is to close shortly" he didn't have time to move his furniture in? Many thanks Dave. 28 October 2007 Len & Chris Harpin | chrislen@talktalk.net | won Can any one put a name to the boy on the front page in cadet uniform with the Mace he was a kettle drum player when I was in the band I played THE BIG BASS DRUM Scoffer Howitt was our DRUM Major till I left in 1948 We won a competition at the Royal fingerinhole camp ,WE stayed in camp with the soldiers Pin Head the head master at the time was there in the COLONEL UNIFORM ALSO SKIPPER CULVER was our Captain so the boy on the front cover must have taken over drum major after I left. 26 October 2007 - Colnbrook Slough John Sansom(Sam) | john.sansom@tesco.net Carpenters Shop 1946 When I first started you were taught by a Mr Disney, known to us as "Pop"Dis This gentleman had a bad leg so had a special made up boot. When you had exasperated Mr Disney long enough you then went to the main Carpenters shop under Mr Howel(Pop) to us. Mr Bishop was in charge of the shop and Mr Tempest the Cabinet makers.The photo of the Army Cadet could be a chap called Noble, who was a printer and would still have been there. Scoffer Howett as Drum Major would probably know better than me John S 24 October 2007 - Hertford uxetenuzbes | nentubzes@stylebrand.com | zoo-polar-bears.m-ins.cn Another Dumb Blonde A young ventriloquist is touring the clubs and one night he's doing a show in a small club in a small town in Arkansas. With his dummy on his knee, he's going through his usual dumb blonde jokes when a blonde woman in the fourth row stands on her chair and starts shouting: ''I've heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes. What makes you think you can stereotype women that way? What does the color of a person's hair have to do with her worth as a human being? It's guys like you who keep women like me from being respected at work and in the community and from reaching our full potential as a person, because you and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against, not only blondes, but women in general...and all in the name of humor!'' The ventriloquist is embarrassed and begins to apologize, when the blonde yells, ''You stay out of this, mister! I'm talking to that little jerk on your knee! 23 October 2007 - Philippines Alan Dearman E-Mail from Richard Harries. | petitions.pm.gov.uk/Damehood/ Petula Clark brought happiness to many former Barnardo children as she visited Barkingside many times in her early days. I'm sure you are aware that I am one of those who were involved in the Snowman record and Radio recordings and have had the pleasure of meeting her on a number of occasions. I think it would be nice to put this petition on our site, what do you think? Regards ALAN I have been trying to contact people who may be interested in a petition asking the Government to make Petula a Dame. I attach below what I have been sending out. Please would you consider signing it yourself, and forward it on to anyone who you might feel would be interested. Mick Smith-Kerr whose piece is below yours seems likely (you apparently have his email address) and perhaps any Goldings or Barnados message boards? I think it best that you decide if this is appropriate! I am trying to contact those who may be interested. Petula Clark is one of the most venerated of British female vocalists she is now 74 years old and still touring, writing and recording. There is a Downing Street online petition asking the British Government to make her a Dame. Please can you consider signing and pass the link on to anyone else who may be interested. I feel this is a very worthy cause. Thanks Richard Harries 17 October 2007 Webmaster comments   A link will be added on the links page for anyone who may want to sign the petition in the mean time, please click on the web link at the top of the message. <<< 1 923 924 925 926 927 928 929 930 931 932 933 934 935 936 937 938 939 940 941 942 943 1157 >>> 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 -
