    Well, today @ school, we celebrated St. Andrews day...

    We have some rather crazy traditions at Eton, and none is more-so thatn the wall game.... (my brother is playing in purple and white BTW)

    no. its basically a massive scrum called a 'bully' youve got to try and get the ball down to the opposenions end, then, they re-start the bully, and you effectivly have to pick up the ball, with two hands, and hold it up against the wall... once you've scored, you have a chace of kicking the ball towards the 'door' to score a 'proper goal'..

    no one has score a proper goal for nie on 100 years...

    more pics soon, photobucket is p**ing me off.

    i guess, Saturday afternoon is good fun though... we get some girls round and just chill out.

    Sunday involves lots of sleeping, and then i wake up and moan @ everyone on Monday..

    Awesome; love how you're all sitting on the wall.

    Is this an all boy boarding school? And do you have to wear a tuxedo every day?
