Captain Hook, Darth Vadar and Blofeld send their apologies.


My old college is not evil, ok? There's nothing remotely evil about it. Look, here's a picture of the canteen. 



Well, ok, bad example. But even if it does on occasion, quite by accident, give off an ever so slightly Slytherin-y air, let's be clear that it is in fact a blameless and upstanding academic institution, and it's definitely not plotting anything. 

No matter whom it may choose to invite to its alumni meet-ups.

In other news, Kevin and I have been at the Sunday Papers again.

…Yeah, I know I did something similar to this before. But I thought the addition of The Master made it worth revisiting.

I think I can see a ghost float around.

Whatever you do, do not put your name in any kind of globet.

Nope, neither the picture nor the note look sinister. Not at all. And the elderly guy sitting in a large swiveling high-backed armchair wearing a black cape and a mask, petting a white Persian cat is completely harmless, I tell you.

Surely that picture's just a still from Porterhouse Blue...?

Rob said...

Oh John! For some reason pouring tea out of the wrapped teapot tickled me this morning. Brilliant!

Tealin said...

I would definitely watch that episode of ... whatever show it ended up being.

It certainly was worth revisiting, and getting that as well as a new Sunday Papers has me feeling spoiled. Thank you!

As a Valencian, I'm afraid I must say that your college IS evil.

I'm afraid the Cambridge Tab disagrees: http://cambridge.tab.co.uk/2014/06/02/which-harry-potter-character-is-your-college/
St John's is definitely Voldemort.
(Long live Ron Weasley & Pembroke!)

Such a shame Margarita couldn't make it.

Unfortunately, John, Jas Hook was an Oxford boy.

Moony said...

Of course nothing is being plotted. Plotting is for those weaklings who come from the pages of perspicacity. Otherwise known as a land Out There, which requires a towel and a ride to reach. Humans seem to prefer the shoot and dive method of rising action.

Though, on that notation, that does rather eschew the Master (being an alien) but Professor Moriarty is safe. After all, Earth is an untouchable masterpiece of taxidermied sheep, also know as humans (even if they are diabolical intellectuals).

Hey, that's the Hall at John's! We used to sneak in for lunch. Food was nicer than at Catz.

Of course it's not St John's, it's Peterhouse. Google it ...

As the two previous comments from my fellow Valencians show, Peterhouse is, by general consensus, evil.

The Cambridge sorting hat clearly made an error in your case, however.

Lucy said...

Haha, I'm envious. If I get the grades, the college I'm going to in September has alumni of Rachel Weisz, Andrew Marr and Stephen Hawking. Not quite as evil as yours!

Love it - if you want to see a huge host of honours board villains look at those at Eton around the time Ian Fleming was there - you'll see most of the Bond baddies represented. Henry Blofeld tells us as well that Ernst Stavros Blofeld is named after his elder brother. Scaramanga was in my house, it seems.

Of course, you'd see a heap of future prime ministers too (most of whom were clearly a bad sort but were made infamous in reality rather than fiction).

Woah, I want to go to your school. James Moriarty? The deal is SEALED.

I am happy with posts like this and thank you for giving us via info.

I remember the dining hall was kept deliberately dim so we couldn't see how bad the food was. And that the soup came in 3 varieties - grey, brown, brown-with-bits-in.
