Most of you will have absolutely no idea what I mean when I say (or type) Pancake Greaze. That's all part of the fun of being a student at Westminster School, one of the most stuck up schools in England.
The Greaze is also one of the most uncivilised 'practises' that can take part in a private school... Where the idea came from is beyond me...
Anyway, what is this Greaze that I'm on about?
A scramble for pancake
Quite simply 6 boys from each year (5 years), 30 boys, want to get as much of this special ancake that's been specially cooked and laced with horse hair (Don't ask)...
A special bar is put up in the main hall of the school, and the pancake has to go over the bar. Following the chef's attempt at throwing the pancake over the bar is the funniest, most violent display of students. Ever.
It's near enough impossible to explain, however I did find this picture on the web

The top pic of the two is basically what happens, although this pic is from 1947, it's just as violent and funny now..
I love my school (well... sorta)

T'is a bit of Westminster lingo....
to be 'up somewhere' is to be in that place..
I.e.
To be up rigauds = to be in rigauds (one of our 11 houses)

This truly is the most homosexual game ever, next to Football. Or Rugby. All those showers.
"My son John Colaclides, who was up Rigaud's in the 'seventies, sometimes lets me see The Elizabethan."
"Was up" was he now? In every possible sense of the word it seems.

I go to the establishment known as westminster as well, and i have to say that in a public school where most of our innermost, stonage like, hormonal and testosterone fuelled needs are quashed we need to have sumthing that we can release our sadistical tendencies in (as unfortunately we dont have rugby in our school) well put forward
By the way i heard that someone once was forced to eat the pancake and died from and inability to digest horse hair causing stomach overload...
i love trivia!!
