James Loader (BGS staff 1972-1979)
James taught English at BGS before leaving to teach in Orpington, Kent. He retired from teaching due to ill health in 1995 and later did some freelance writing and editing. James worked for some time for Time Magazine, editing the copy, which he found has its similarities to teaching English (plenty of "red ink" I suppose). He has had some articles published in the magazine, a selection of which can be found by following the links below.

He was involved in the launch of a new magazine of photojournalism called "ei8ht". The magazine was launched in April 2002, and was initially available by subscription only. ei8ht grew out of a prize-winning Web magazine called "foto8". The magazine consists mostly of photo stories and also has some text-based articles. It is essential reading for anyone interested in photography or politics, airing stories that do not make it to the mainstream media. Get details of subscribing to ei8ht from the foto8 Web site. |
The Loader (Intellectualus Teacherus Loaderius)
(taken from the Bostonian 1976)
The Loader lives in a strange house like a flat. It wears clothes of the very best, cast off material. It has a strange cry which is very distinct, it goes: "Naah Shattup".
It likes to play the piano and often likes to creep into a school play. During the day it goes around with other members of its society, but often goes into crowded rooms with small humans in them. It gets mad with these humans very easily.
During the mating season it grows a moustache. The physiognomy is very peculiar with bristles around its chin. One of these Loaders has been born in captivity. It is a very clean animal which washes every morning.
It has a strange way of eating. It sits around looking at its food, then it will suddenly eat it all at once. It likes to exercise its legs and when it sits on a table its legs start swinging.

James Loader used Paul Simon lyrics in his English lessons, and taught me Classical History in my first year, which was the only year I could take it. I went on holiday to, I think, Yugoslavia in 1976, and who should be stopping in the same hotel?
