to think ALL choristers are POISED when it snows

[FolornHope]

to do the cliched " choristers playing snowball"? shot?

fakring nora
how represtative is this of your average kid.
its like those cringey documentaries where they say " they are just like other kids and like rock musci too"

cue embarrassed kid shuffling on with a guitar...

actually, all the choristers at my (cathedral) school were the cool rock and roll kids, and now have interesting wafty artsy meeedja jobs

DID THEY THROW SNOWBALLS?

Oh but they're so cuuute. And so pious. Nothing warms the cockles of my heart more than the sight of a kid in ruffles throwing a snowball. It's up there with whiskers on kittens.

admittedly, no. too uncool, and v. hard to do whilst having a surreptitious fag.

There was a picture of my DH when he was a chorister in the snow and one of them wore red wellies that had to be airbrushed into black ones

ROFL hassled
there wasa VERY funny kid on the news ? thu saying" wel there was a sign on my school gate saying "sorry closed for snow" well I am not sorry at all"
he was fat and about 11 an realll CUTE

i want a really rough hoody in a ruffle throwing a snowblal

its a journalistic cliche up there with abandoned teddy" and " blonde girls in vest tops getting 19 million a levels"

yy
only fruity girls go to Oxbridge as far as our local paper is concerned.
poor DH got the best A-level results for years at his school but didn't get in the paper cos he looks like Joe 90.

It's either fruity girls in vest tops or bespectacled sallow boys who are 12.

boys dont jump
its like the wedding photo of the hefty bride being held on her side by the spottty managers of the officers club

I thought you said poisoned

YANBU but they're probably being paid to do it. Most of the choristers I knew (both Dbrothers) were mouthy little monkeys.

I saw that kid
"I mean if I have to choose between snow and school I'm gonna choose snow!"
I always feel sorry for the poor local cameramen who have to go and FIND kids in snow
Like the local reporters who have to trawl the hospitals for the first babies of the new year.

wasnt he funny?! i loved him

There's a lovely photo on the Winchester Cathedral site advertising their ice rink.

Fantastic shot of choristers in robes ice- skating. I think it looks v charming and quintessentially British.

[sentimental]

no choristers here

oh polly
what is wrong with a couple of youths in nylon by a bus shelter?
surely more birtish?

atm in our local music shop there are two placards advertising two different local chorister albums

one they are in ruffles in choir stalls

the other they are in shorts, duffle coats and mortar boards in the snow

the latter look like utter plonkers. No dignity at all. Poor kids...
