Two golden sandals

On the third day of Christmas, what Burr House gave to me:

Four suspended boys

On the fifth day of Christmas, what Burr House gave to me:

On the seventh day of Christmas, what Burr House gave to me:
Seven ugly tutors

On the eighth day of Christmas, what Burr House gave to me:

On the tenth day of Christmas, what Burr House gave to me:
Ten fit rowers rowing

On the eleventh day of Christmas, what Burr House gave to me:
Eleven horrible year nines (time for bed !)

On the twelfth day of Christmas, what Burr House gave to me:
Twelve greasy pizzas


If some of these references are obscure, so much the better. One of the founding Governors of the College, the late Peter Carter-Ruck, was an eminent libel lawyer, and the Burr House Blog has no wish to distract the law firm which carries his name from their sterling work protecting the reputations of their clients from less responsible organs.
