Thanks Sursum for the brief info on the spadgie history...BTW, who first noticed that you guys looked like sparrows? Surely, must've been some Paulite. Hahahah Never knew the meaning of spadgie but always thought it was something derogatory until today. Now, I've been enlightened. Yeah, there had been a thread some month earlier with a pic of Gyane with some buddies at NP. And reading your post, it all makes sense now as to where Paras' anitics come from. Haahaha Back in our days, we were told by a teacher that both the Royals of Nepal and Bhutan first approached St. Paul's but withdrew their application once they learned that they'd have no privileges and they'd just be another conformed school-kid: Even until the mid 90s, Paulites had to wear the same brand shoes, clothes tailored at the same outfitter in town, hands behind the back whenever seniors approached and the whole what have yous. And for these Royals to be in the same strata as other Nep and Bhutanese kids and respect seniors instead of them doing it?? Atrocious. More importantly, they'd have to attend Chapel everyday. Hell, these kids were gods back home, how on earth could they pray to Another God (God's son...LOL)? Too much for them to handle so they chose the other fine school, NP. That was the word that was in SP those days. I guess we'll never know what the truth is. Also, is the momo restaurant by your main gate still open (the one in the back alley)? I remember during an interschool athletics meet where I and a few of the locals went to the joint and got drunk (knocked out) before heading back to school. Hahahahaa Good ol memories.
