Brian,
Ahh - just found your email - specific replies....
No - don't remember Ian Whapshott - but Gillian White - now - was she the dark
haired (well formed) lady that used to hang around with a smaller, busty, blonde
(Julie??) and a tall guy - Kaz?? - the three of them used to come into the old
School Hall at lunch times and dance to the record player we had there - before
we graduated to the Common Room in the Main Building.
All the best,
MC

And all that!
Couldn't stand being stuck on that little steamy island of yours for long, but if you're living like a Raj, then maybe.
Just thought of another name from the past, remember Ian Whapshott, tall spindly guy also in Art. And Gillian White, best tits in the class, had all our tostesterones working overtime that girl. God knows where she is today;-)
Get Burrell to E me, sort of remember him, dark hair, medium height.
Hopefully we will be in Queensland soon, when the house is sold, so that's a little bit closer for that reunion. Maybe PNG or Bali would be a good place for it.
Will certainly keep in touch, what do you do in Singapore BTW, it's nothing but commerce there isn't it apart from separating money away from Tourists.
Here's a couple of Images:- Me & Wife, then just Me underwater, I do a lot of Scuba and this was taken by a American friend of mine when he visited us in Sydney. He's a Screen Writer and travels a lot around the World, Drew Wong's the name.
Regards
Brian

Ha-ha!! What a good coincidence.
Do you remember Mick Woodman at all?? There?s been quite a lot of emailing between myself and a few guys in my class (Martin Coker, Alan Britt, Mick Burrell, Clive Giblin, Paul Tucker) and Mick joined in ? we don?t remember him ? he says he was in the Art dept ? so maybe he?ll ring a bell with you??
I?m roughly in your neck of the woods ? currently living in Singapore after the last 7 years in Hong Kong.
Been down to Oz a few times ? and now with you and Martin Cocker there ? maybe there?s an Asian reunion in the offing.
Stay in touch? by the way ? most of the emailing, memories, some pictures are in my web-site ? see below, I?ll add your mail and piccie if that?s OK?? Looks a good plot to have bought, surely Speight and his boys cannot continue to bugger up paradise??

Used to get on the train with Rodney Coker and another kid called Bennett. Hung around with Ian Pitwell, Pat Etheridge, Dianne Batley and a few others that I can't recall, except Burrell.
Did the Commercial Art Course, Worked at BBDO, O&M, DPBS then Emigrated to Australia, now residing in Sydney and avbout to move up to Queensland where it's warmer in the winter.
Bought some land in Fiji as a retirement plot, but George Speight has screwed that idea up. Nice too, have a look at the attachment, might still go if things improve over there.
See Ya's
Brian

Brian,
I may be getting confused, but - were you in the Art School - used to travel from West Drayton, by rail??
If so, I'm Mike Curley, used to travel by rail from Hayes, with a few others - Mark Wilson, Bill Hanstock - we were all in the Commercial School.
