Old Tiffinians

Our old Tiffinan dinner was yesterday! The "oxbridge" reunion consisting of many of the current Cambridge and Oxford students from Tiffin and some teachers all went out for a posh meal at St Johns. I had the pleasure of sitting next to Mr C, Mr S and opposite Miss K (sp?) - It was quite a good meal, though Mr S is famedly boring, Mr C hates Cambridge and Miss K teaches music and doesn't know me. Nevermind! For some reason we had a great silver cup in the middle of the table, which Mr C proceeded to present to all the current Oxford students telling them they "were great". Hehe.

The menu was good with the exception of the "smoked" salmon start which had unfortunately been extensively salted instead of smoked. We had Aberdeen Angus steak for main, followed by a sumptuous orange tart to finish, all with wine througout and port to finish. I got a chance to speak to Mr Epstein and Mr King, and to say Hi in passing to the new headmaster - hurrah! Look at me network! Afterwards we all went to the Maypole where I found out that Mr Thompson now writes scripts for the BBC and saw Mr T saunter round drunkenly.

Mostly though, i chatted to Boycie, Geoff, Joe, Chris and Thabo - excellent stuff :)

I've omitted the names of current teachers so as not to excite any violence or suage.
