So was Martin Long of CPFC2010 but not in Ireland.
He has never regaled any nasty experiences he has had with them to me.Perhaps he never had any.

we used to call him D-emon.
bully.

Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

I will refrain from naming the guilty institution but PM me if you recognise any of the following.

- Woodwork master who walked about with a bendy pointy stick and suddenly whacked you on the arse with it with no warning and for no reason.

- Headmaster with a PhD in mediaeval German who would summon the sixth-form German classes to his office at break and bombard them with questions about German grammar which were sufficiently esoteric as to be classed as bizarre, e.g. wot is the imperfect subjunk of kennen, eh?

- Science teacher who would know instantly if someone wasn't paying 100% attention whereupon a chunk of chalk would come flying across the room and hit the boy on the hooter, followed by the advice that "you may be out of reach but you're not out of range".

- Another science teacher whose experiments with magnesium ribbon and potassium dichromate negated the need for fire alarm tests.

- No such thing as football.

- A few masters who would try to take lessons whilst pissed out of their skulls.

- Peripetetic music tutors who would fail to notice if you went a whole term without turning up to their lessons and would then write a cheerful report about how well you were doing.

- Prefects with the powers to punish you on any made-up charge they liked by making you change into PE kit at the end of the day and then making you run round and round the playing fields for half an hour in the pissing rain.

- An RE teacher who confiscated a pack of playing cards with filthy pictures on them and who was subsequently seen "examining" them clandestinely in the storeroom after the lesson.

You will definitely recognise the place if you were ever summoned to a lunchtime bollocking and punished with "the school flag not being flown for three days" for having shown a visiting American school choir the kind of appreciation such an act would legitimately expect.

^^^^ In spite of every science bench having huge scorch marks across it , from the Bunsen burner taps being lit when no burner was attached,....

we didn't need fire drill, because the lab was made of asbestos,...and wood. One of them would kill us.

I disengage, I turn the page.

6 years after leaving school, I was doing manual work with a homosexual.
He took a phone call from his latest 'date', who it transpired was my ex-PE teacher. The one who watched the boys get really clean in the showers.
