David Lammy was head boy at my school a few years back. He apparently got de-gowned for punching his best friend in the nose - apparently the friend got with his girlfriend! Well, that's the rumour, anyway - but his deputy definitely took over for him halfway through the year. :cool:

Thank you. I see - if we both had gap years at the same time, does that mean you're at uni now? What are you studying? :smile:

Yep, I'm at Sussex doing Geography. How's Leeds?

Possibly the Duke of Wellington, Viscount Castlereagh, a few politicians and the guy who invented the penalty kick. A mixed lot really
