Fans of the Curse of St Custards may wish to pause here.

I know - your mention of it on the Tom Lehrer thread was how I knew to look for this thread. Your DD sounds fab.

JNHJABS - 'sfine. I confess it's a year at least since I re-read my disintegrating copy of How To Be Topp, but the longer I spend attending parents' evenings, the more I think of St Custard's!

I was inspired to start this thread by an interesting Ronald Searle connection on the Tom Lehrer thread. As I said there, my daughter is Nigel Molesworth reborn as a girl!

Loving that website, MadBad. Am a slightly lapsed fan, ie, haven't read them for ages, but really should re-read.

DS has a touch of the Fotherington-Thomases about him occasionally - tends to skip rather a lot, and address inanimate objects.
