NIGHT WEAR
The best ever answer to a question on a lady's nightwear came from the divine Marily Monroe (remember her, chaps?) She was asked by a male interviewer, who was trying to be clever and upstage this dumb blonde, "Tell me, Miss Monroe, what do you wear in bed?" She stared at him soulfully, op...

Reference adlops' A-Z can I offer a new one? M Music. A work containing sounds and melodies in a pleasing and meaningful combination, and which excludes all other forms defined in this Glossary.

TIMES OF LONG AGO
...but I clearly remember Corks who had a healthy thirst. ] ....and not only for beer and wine, according to accounts prevalent at the time of his (sudden) departure. Another tack entirely.

PULLIN/WHITFIELD
Rex, I agree that your keyboard theory is the most likely explanation and am relieved to learn that my memory was not playing me false. I also tend to agree with John Knight that the chap with the dog-collar in the Barnes B pic is probably said chap. As I recall, he went in for "Popish" tr...

REV PULLIN
Possible, but unlikely. One Assistant Chaplain I recall was an Australian named Whitfield, who was responsible for Confirmation classes in about 1953-3.Ajarn Philip wrote:No doubt Rex will respond with the dates soon, but in the meantime, is it possible he was Assistant Chaplain in your time?

PORTRAIT
Thanks for clarifying the abbrevIations. I had already interpreted SG as Senior Grecian, but had thought that SM meant Senior Master.
