• Yup in primary school we had a school nurse who watched us shower and “checked” us to make sure we were clean.

    Aged 11 we had game of football during PE with a teacher who had reportedly been a welsh rugby international. Apparently we needed to be shown how a proper man kicked, so he tried to score a goal from the opposite end of the field. Unfortunately his aim was shit and he hammered the ball full power into the side of my head and knocked me out.

    Also aged 11 we played a house rugby tournament with boys aged 11-13. I was a pretty late developer and didn’t hit puberty properly till my late teens... on the opposite team was a 6ft 13 yr old who was already shaving regularly. He ran straight over the top of me leaving me in a crumpled heap prompting the gap year student to tell me to “get up and stop being such a fucking pussy”. I got up and played two more games... it wasn’t until over a week later that anyone thought to take me to hospital where it turned out I had a broken collar bone.

    At secondary school we were front page of the sun when the head boy was found to be sleeping with the boarding house matron. IIRC she got the sack and he was offered the opportunity to stay if he gave up the relationship. Of course he thought it was 4lyf so he was promptly expelled too but she dumped him and sold her story to the sun a week later. The day it came out all the older boys went into town and bought up the entire stock of newspapers and then sold them to younger kids for a tidy profit.

  • One of the last things to happen at school was someone jumping at me on the bus home. Heard a pop, collar bone had snapped. Didn't stop him laying into me punching that arm.

    Also, some time before that, a guy was giving me shit so I swung the cricket bat I was holding in his direction. Thought I hit his arm, I'd hit his face. He deserved it.

    The boarders would sit in a room together and wank over porn. Pretty sure a number of them helped each other out, but it wasn't gay or something. Glad I wasn't a boarder.
