To start a new term at the Chalet School?

[Vintagejazz]

Happy for this to be moved to Chat if posters agree but thought I'd start it here as this is where we've all been loitering without permission when we should be doing our housework homework.

So welcome to a new term everyone. Cases upstairs to the dormitories, form lists on the notice board. And you'll all be pleased to hear that even though we've moved to a different location, Joey has tracked us - -down moved in next door, so we'll still be seeing too much-- plenty of her

Joey is fat too. So fat she's considering medical remedies. So at least she joins in the fat party.

I have pushed burglars into fountains? Don't remember that! Well I have lots of transcripts to catch up on now thanks to library pre and her deputy.

Yes Joey gets fat and I get to stay slender and lovely (just wish I was in R.L).

Don't like the idea of joining a nunnary though. I think I will be a doctor and specialise in Munchausen's syndrome after experiencing it first hand after all of those years. Or I could be a pharmacist and develop antibiotics to combat TB.....Then they would have to invite me to the reunion (or at least let me open the Fete one year).

Sorry Robin but I think Joey and the school just lost interest in you after a while. I mean, I don't think I even heard Joey mention your name in latter years.

Right let's play who am I stand up class!!

I am a jolly sport and very lively.

I grew up abroad

I am named after an angel and have a twin

I won the prize all true chalet girls desire.

Ooh, someone else has read Jean of Storms. It's crap but fascinating. ISTR it was written as a newspaper serial which explains why the pace is so peculiar. But I do like the details of 1930s life in it.

I also wondered why Juliet wasn't allowed back for the reunion. As another adopted sister cast into the wilderness. And she only went to Ireland.

Or alternatively she is actually at the reunion, but not fat or given no plot.

Another WTF is Mary-Lou meeting Grizel for the first time in a decade, not even using her first name, and inviting her to come to stay with her for months on end. Grizel in return suggests the two of them go on a touring holiday together. Very random.

Yy Fair to Joey bloody rudeness to Simone just when she's on a high after inheriting a chateau and a business.

It's cold/white elephant/furniture is worm ridden and Jewell's are vile cheeky cow!!

Ooh, thebody, that's a tough one. Is it Gay Lambert? I can't think of anyone else with an angel name (I think Lucifer went to Malory Towers ). Don't know if Gay had a twin though; I've never got my hands on a copy of Gay from China...

What's the prize that all true Chalet girls desire? Is it a lovely doctor?

I think it's Gay as well.

Is the prize a lime green twin set?

Ha ha it is Gay my clever lambs. Go up top.

Her twin was michael a jolly school boy. The prize was the 'Margot Venable* prize for selflessness and true goodness blah blah.

Personally I would prefer a lime green twin set

Gay did have a twin brother. Definitely Gay.

I would have liked to hear more of Juliet. I remember Joey saying to her that she was "like a sister" when she wanted Juliet to talk to her. Long that lasted then.
I like to think thought that Juliet kept up with Madge, as a mother figure, and, as we hear very little from Madge other than occasionally turning up to open a sale or having another baby, we wouldn't hear of their meeting. Maybe Joey was jealous of their relationship?

And I've gone right the way through this thread and still can't see who to PM for the onedrop whatever. please someone put me out of my misery!

You may now sadly be too fat for that lime green twin set, Daisy, my lamb.

Gay has a twin, she tells Grandma about him on the train to Leeds. "Really it's Gabrielle Lambert but I'm always Gay. My twin, Michael and I were born on the feast of St Michael and All Angels."

fair you should get hold of it pronto, it has the fabulous Miss Bubb, who takes over as emergency headmistress and tries to take over the school :o

Miss Bubb! She has taken on mythical status in my mind. Kind of like a cross between Margaret Rutherford and Papa Lazarou.

I think instead of being a nun, I'll be a psychiatrist! That'll show Joey and her "understanding girls"

Thebody is Gay Lambert! I know everyone else said it first, but I only just logged on this morning. Why must I work for a living?

Okay, who am I?

I have grey eyes and blonde hair, skinned back from my face in a prim pigtail when you first see me.

I do not understand the schoolgirl code and think Learning is All.

I hate Joey yet secretly this is because I love her so much.

I cause a serious accident on an expedition.

Joey is fat. She says in Joey Goes To The Oberland 'if I have put on 10lbs in the last year or so, I'm not fat, whatever people say!' Sorry love, everyone else thinks you're fat. Someone says in one of the Island books that 'the woman looks a regular tub!' Although they all agree that she suits it. Personally, I don't think it's fat as much as it is 11-kids-tummy. Bet you really don't bounce back after 11...especially with all the featherbeds of cream.

Eustacia Benson

Who am I?

I'm related to an old girl
I'm considered a leader among my group of friends
I'm actually a very nasty bully but I get away with it every time

Jack Lambert!

Well done, Robin! Tophole.

Have just spent a happy 15 mins downloading every transcript I don't already have. The problem I was having earlier seems to be limited to the mobile site, but am on laptop now and it's working. Yay!

Too Eustacia my lamb a smug little prig?

Robin yes agree Too Jack lambert.

Loving this.

Who am I?

I have a beautiful face but a crippled body

I am much older than the usual new girl

I am an atheist until I get further maimed.

Naomi Elton!
