  • Absolutely nobody came from my school, because it was a shithole

    Haha! Same. The only person on my school's wikipedia entry is an old mate of mine who self-published about 20 books in the Sharpe fan-fiction genre, and that's only there because he put it there himself, the mad bastard. I didn't even know he went to the same school as me.

    Plenty of creeps, paeds, weirdos etc amongst the teaching staff, obv. We used to get a double-decker bus laid on for us to go to school and we'd all go up to the top deck and swing from one side to the other in concert, to try to rock the bus and maybe tip it over. Don't think we ever managed it, though.

    The Modern Studies tutor was reported for feeling up some girls in his class, but didn't lose his job or anyting, he just had to keep his classroom door open at all times. For some reason when me and my three female schoolfriends moved from Livingston to Dundee, this guy ended up at one of our house parties. I still have no idea who invited him.

    On a related topic of practical physics experiments, one of our schoolboy drinking mates, who was in the year below us, made a hobby on drunken rambles home of deliberately exciting resonance in steel lamp posts in order to snap them off. He was also the one who failed to blag into the local night club by forgetting to work out in advance which year he would have to claim to have been born in to back up his claim to be over 18.

    At 15 I once handed my brother's driving license (old paper one with no photo) to the nightclub bouncer (who was my CDT teacher) and tried to keep a straight face. He looked at the license, looked at me, stifled a laugh but still let me in.

    I did this in an Oxford pub aged 15, and the landlord let me finish my pint of cider before booting me out
