Talking of inter-school fights we had a comp opposite us who liked to try it on occasionally by 'invading' our playing fields. Usually there was some long range taunting and everyone went home. They were wary of getting too close to some of the rugby monsters we had hanging around having quickly learnt that private school doesn't equal wimpy toffs.
On one occasion a certain rather impulsive and over enthusiastic individual (later expelled for kicking away the stick of an elderly gent at the local train station) decided that a message needed to be sent. Without any encouragement he lobbed a half brick a good 40 yards which, surprisingly, connected with its target who, unsurprisingly, hit the deck like a sack of spuds.
Ambulance was called once everyone present (about 50 spectators) had agreed to keep quiet and scarper. Brick lobber was baffled that he didn't get any plaudits for this and was thereafter ostracised as a 'nutter' and began a slow death spiral of stupid stunts that ended with the stick kicking incident.
