So assuming you had to be "1 in 1000" to get there.... <br /><br />But even that was not enough to get any special attention: the headmaster was a rugby player, which explains a bit. <br /><br />Curiously, none of my old classmates seem to have achieved anything much, either. So then you have to wonder what was the point of even having such a school. <br /><br />No doubt if I had excelled at rugby I would have attracted far more attention.Jaraparillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06336314539987735082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093949.post-41884143035130861212009-10-23T12:03:19.172+10:002009-10-23T12:03:19.172+10:00There were 100,000 kids in your school?
