Tony,and Bob I tend agree with both your sentiments but lets just remember that this is a site for Goldings boys and staff to mull over and remember the fantastic time for most of us spent there.Life is about the have's and have not's.But how do we measure success? a large bank balance? or friends and family that are pleased you are part of there life.
One most personal thing that I wanted besides a way of earning a good standard of living thanks to Goldings was a family, which I think most of us missed in our early life.Good health?what price would you put on that one.
For you lads out there I wish all of you success but not in the material sense,because this can be a shallow success. As for Tony,well what can we say,or do other than support his situation,along with others no doubt.I just hope that this friendly disagreement does'nt upset our unique Goldings friendship,which not many other schools enjoy.On a lighter note to finish,I've got to go just heard the bugler sound "Come to the Cookhouse door" beetroot,cheese,and a cup of Grog,Sunday Tea..see ya Dave.

HI,BOB I WAS SINCERELY PLEASED TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR SUCCESS FOR THE 2ND TIME, AND HOW YOU PUT IT DOWN TO BARNARDOS.
BUT WHAT I OBJECT TO IS THE CALLOUS WAY YOU REFER TO LESS UNFORTUNATE BARNARDOS BOYS, AS THOSE WITH CHIPS ON THEIR SHOULDERS. WELL I'LL JOIN THEIR CLUB.
THEY WERE PROBABLY CAREER BARNARDOS BOYS!!
THE ONES WHO CAME IN STILL IN THEIR NAPPIES OR JUST OUT OF THEM LIKE ME,
YOUNG CHILDREN BECOMING EMOTIONALLY DISTURBED, PINING FOR THEIR MOTHERS NEEDING LOVE AND AFFECTION-AND WHAT DID BARNARDOS DO FOR ME AND THE OTHERS IN MY HOME, THEY EMPLOYED A PAEDOPHILE TO TAKE CARE OF US, AND MY GOD HE TOOK CARE OF HIM SELF. WHEN HE HAD FINISHED WITH ME I WAS TRAUMATISED, AND THATS HOW I ARRIVED AT GOLDINGS XXXXXX IN THE HEAD. I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY ME IT HAPPENED TO UNTIL I WENT TO MY 1ST GOLDINGS REUNION IN 2003,MY EXPERIENCE OF BARNARDOS WAS CERTAINLY NOT A RECIPE FOR SUCCESS.
BOB OF COURSE NONE OF THIS IS YOUR FAULT.BUT JUST BE A BIT MORE CONSIDERATE
FOR THOSE WHO SUFFERED AT THE HANDS OF BARNARDOS.
