redrocks Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Just reading up on the star of my Avatar on Wikipedia:Hugo Weaving was born in Nigeria to parents Wallace and Anne. He spent his childhood in South Africa and then moved to the UK in his teens. Whilst in England he attended the prestigious academically selective boarding school, Queen Elizabeth's Hospital, commonly known as QEH school in Bristol. He arrived in Australia in 1976 and attended Sydney's Knox Grammar School. Weaving then graduated from NIDA in 1981.So, did anyone here go to school with him???

Guest Ron Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Simon Mann off of 5 Live also went to QEH. And someone (who's name I can't remember) who pretty much masterminded the rescue operation during 7/7 last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 So, did anyone here go to school with him??? No, but i was Best Man for a bloke who did, and long time pals with several others. None of them come on this Forum, but one or two lapsed but occasional City fans amongst them. I think it's fair to say they were more than a bit surprised by his success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to say why but it's a fair enough reason not to tbh But as a teacher doesn't he have an obligation not to hold a grudge against me?

Yep!! Agreed with your point, it is a little unfair. It also takes the fun out of rugby a degree for those who arent particularly good. Still, success is enjoyable and you have to bear in mind the money they get paid by bath rfc tu do just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PE teacher didn't really like me when i was there and I never quite figured out why (I was very into athletics, so it's not like I wasn't interested or keen).

Wardie Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 I went to Qeh, left in 2004 at the end of my GCSE's, so Ron would of been there when i was there (I'm guessing ) Mr Bateson was a funny bloke a fair bit of the time, but then he did get in major shafts quite a bit.
