Posted on Fri, 21 Feb 2025
You've conjured so many vivid memories Turlough. Was Foxwood an all boys school? Only no girls were mentioned.
The turmoil of cross country running sounded horrendous. I hated all sports at school. The teachers were proper dictaters, just...

Posted on Thu, 20 Feb 2025
Spencer seems to be in better control of the situation than Vanessa, even though he's been tampered with.
Can't wait to find out more about Cedric, he seems a bit eccentric, which makes the story more tense, not knowing how he might act...

Posted on Mon, 17 Feb 2025
Hi Rhiannon, It was so interesting to read your school life history. It seems you moved around a lot, it must have been unsettling, but I suppose you were used to it.

After everything that's happened, with all the twists and turns in your story Phil, it's been such a great pleasure to read.

Hi Turlough,

Hi Turlough,
I have to say that our school could be wild too. I was in the lowest of the lowest classes all my school life, because I was a slow learner. Many of the boys ended up on the bad side of the law, because of their antics. ...
