Dear Foz,
I think I am frightened of women. Last week I went to a fifth form dance, and for some reason, it seemed to me that almost all the girls were wearing nappies. Now every girl I meet seems to be under eleven years old. Perhaps I am going senile, or merely hallucinating, but nevertheless, the next fifth form dance I go to, I am taking my walking stick to fend off the hordes of pre-pubescent infants. I am an artist, but am not on L.S.D.

Dear A.S.,
Dear Foz,
I am running out of rules to enforce. I have copies of all the school rules as far back as 1903, but I have almost exhausted them now. Were rule books printed before 1903, and if so, could you tell me where I could get copies? Do you know if throwing non-christians to the lions for not bowing their heads in chapel is O.K. by the head?

Dear A.H.,
Dear Foz,
Why is nobody showing interest in my plans for taking the whole school on a rugby tour of the solar system? Is it unreasonable for me to expect the parents to sell their houses and go bankrupt, after all I have done for their sons' rugby skills. At a mere 14,000,600 pounds per head, it seemed a bargain. Ungrateful, apathetic lot, I'll have them all spanked.

Dear A.R.,
SOME YORKIST INFO !!
