Jennings and Darbishire

Product Information

The stories invented some vernacular language for the boys to use. In particular they coined the word "ozard". The post-war slang "wizard" generally meant "good" or "very good". "Ozard" derives from " Wizard of Oz" and was used to describe anything the boys disliked or dreaded. It was also used to describe the anger of Mr. Wilkins, which could be "ozard", "ozard squared" and occasionally "ozard cubed". You are over 18 years of age and where there may be age restrictions in place, you declare that you and all members of your party are of the appropriate age In the event that a date swap is offered, this will normally be agreed with a set timeframe to rebook and sometimes a credit against a future stay will be offered. The credit can only apply to a stay at the same space as originally booked. Dedication: "To David Davis, whose keen understanding of the youthful mind brings the characters of Linbury Court School to life so vividly on the air"

The situations that Jennings and Darbishire create are lovely, the caricatures are still fresh and there are plenty of jokes for the adults to enjoy... (kids that know latin would enjoy them too of course...) I totally loved the adventures of John Christopher Timothy Jennings when I was young, and on a recent reread this book managed a rare feat - rather than my jaded adult sensibilities seeing flaws I hadn't originally noticed, I actually found it funnier than on first reading.The prosecutor said Hunt was then arrested in a car in Osmaston Park Road, Derby, on May 13, 2021, and she too was found with 47 wraps of cocaine, cash and mobile phones which were analysed. Miss Slater said: "The phones of Miss Hunt and Mr Jennings demonstrate that they had both been involved in the supply of cocaine for the AT Line from at least December 1, 2020. To criticise Jennings for being irrelevant to the lives of most children is silly and patronising. The joy and purpose of fiction is to introduce us to worlds and ideas beyond our personal experience. Classic children’s novels like Robert Westall’s The Machine Gunners (wartime Tyneside) or Leon Garfield’s Smith (18th century London) inhabit worlds far removed from that of the modern child. As a group, we have an annual meeting (usually between 1 and 2 dozen attendees). In between, we hold occasional, smaller meetings live or via zoom.

Mr Arthur Jennings – Jennings's kindly and jovial uncle, who appears in 'Our Friend Jennings' and treats both Jennings and Darbishire to a memorable meal involving lots of baked beans in between courses, but is unfortunately too busy to stay long beyond that. After marrying his first wife, Sylvia Brown, he enrolled at University College London where he involved himself in Socialist and anti-war groups and he was later to become an active member of CND. Unfortunately at university he did not take a degree after failing Latin. In 1962 he met his second wife, Eileen Selby. They settled near Lewes where he continued to write and from where he also appeared in small (non-singing) roles at Glyndebourne.These two (Bhatti and Hussain) were in charge and they had management roles, they sent out mass marketing messages every day to 200 to 250 different numbers.
