An interesting group photo
« on: November 01, 2005, 06:17:39 PM »


I recently stumbled upon this old photo, from a 1913 dinner in honor of HH Hilton.

From left to right: AC Croome, Sir George Riddell, HH Hilton, Horace Hutchinson, CK Hutchison, G. Menton, Emsley Carr, J Stuart Paton.

A lot of architectural brain power here. Croome appears to be holding a joint in his hand.

Looks like Geoff Childs there on the far right. (Ooops, I mean far left!)

I'm just left wondering what that G. Menton fellow is trying to do to C.K. Hutchinson.

Well, naturally. How do you think they got so smart?

"I'm just left wondering what that G. Menton fellow is trying to do to C.K. Hutchinson."

MikeC:

What do you mean you wonder? Isn't if obvious? Basically those upper crust Brits who were brought up early in boarding school life didn't miss an opportunity even if it was something as mundane as a photographer saying;

"Move in a bit closer together."

For Cecil's sake I hope he is a bad pick-pocket.

Do any of you guys happen to know the absolute worst thing anyone could do to one of those little upper crust Brit kids in boarding school?

A possible round at Woking if you're on the other side and a possible round at PVGC for anyone on this side who can answer that correctly before midnight tonight.

Thanks Brad - These days I'm quite proud of that moniker. I'll be a damn revolutionary pretty soon the way things are going. Then again I probably won't need to go that far since everyone on the right will be in jail pretty soon  ;D

Seems like Country Life influence more than architecture...

Dev Emmet was an early G. Menton fan.

I haven't a clue....but does it have anything to do with a 200 meters of fishing line, an industrial size container of Janitor-in-a-Drum, ballet slippers and stovepipe hat?

Coming from institutions who openly practice 'fagging', I hate to think what the worst thing is TEPaul. Didn't Prince George in Blackadder say they used to bend the first-year students over and use them as toast racks? Maybe it's that.

Tom MacWood, I hope you're not talking from personal experience with the fishing lines and all.

No, but I do walk with a pronounced limp. To my knowledge TE is the only one of this group who has attended boarding school. The closest I got was being whacked with a board by Sister Josephine at St. Agatha's.

When was the last time you attended a dinner party where someone was wearing spats?

Check out Hilton and Hutchinson.

I still think my answer is right -- but am waiting with 'bated breath to hear from Mr. Paul ... if he isn't too busy deleting his old posts!

Tom McWood.

Make it two.

Tom Paul,

Following on this line of discussion here is a story best told with a clipped British accent,

Two peers of the realm are having a Scotch in the Smoking Room of the House of Lords.

Pilkington-Smythe:  " I say old chap don't you think the attendance in the house is just appalling?"

Montmorency: "What makes you say that?"

PS: "Well take last week. The debate on Saving ther Badger was attending by no more than a couple of dozen Members. Whereas a week later, when taking up the Homosexual Consent Bill, the place was packed to the rafters. What do you make of that?

Montmorency;

"I daresay old man that there are very few badgers in the House of Lords."

As I mentioned earlier,it is better in the telling.

I say there Mr. Kelly, do tell old man, there couldn't have been much to say on the Gophers either.  Sir Boab, how do they pack them in so, there at the House of Lords?

TE
Other than having one's house cap thrown down the lav followed by ones barnet..I cannot recall too much that was expected from an incoming "new boy"


however I feel rather sure that some more sordid event is about to be unleashed in your next contribution to this thread.
