in Latin Mythology in grammar school asked the teacher what use would this subject be when I left school - she went quite mental and said "what do you keep in that curly head of yours" Didn't answer my question - the actual answer to my question is that Latin Mythology is good when it comes to crossword puzzles and quizzes

DET. Can't get over that. Salt!! If I was the priest in your confessional, no chance ;-)

Fond of saying I was naughty at school, but apart from itching powder down very pretty Carol Baggotts neck, can't think of much.

When I was in school army cadets, we went on manoevres to Sennybridge and Eppynt mountains. We had 25 pounders (weight of the bullet or shell). Six guns, and I was setting sights on our gun. Somehow I was 15 degrees out.

Fire!!!!! 6 shells whistled towards the target on the hillside about a mile away across a small valley. Five landed within about 50 yards of target. The sixth was about 300 yards to the left, remarkably close to some sheep peacefully grazing.

I painted stones white the rest of the week :-( :-( :-(

We had a teacher who was a right B STEWARD, Tought enginering Drawing etc.thought he would get us to de coke and repair his motorbike,bits disappeared and he never did find them or get it to work again. :-D :-D :-D Ps. we hid them in the Toilet Cysterns.

i got in touble for putting my pet toad in linda a**es mouth
cause i didnt like her

i carried that toad everywhere for a couple of years
very fond of it it i was :-D :-D

I'm enjoying these confessions, there are certainly some rogues amongat you!
In 1992/3, I did O level Geology along with my daughter while she was in sixth form. This entailed going on a field course to North Yorkshire, and the teacher was pleased to have a responsible adult to help keep the teenagers in check. Not a chance! I thoroughly enjoyed joining in the escapades , such as hiding the keys to the mini bus, and buying booze for the 16/17 year olds at the pub. :-D

When it was my turn to fill the inkwells on a friday after school hours in our class (can anyone remember having those in our desks?), I had seen to most of them, but then dropped the large bottle of ink on the lovely parquet floor..ink everywhere..I panicked, scarpered without even trying to clean up...boy, did I get into truble on the monday afterwards!!!!!! It was an accident, but even so, I should have at least tried to get the ink off the floor.I felt guilty and silly for a very long time.The large stain could never be removed...hmmmm.

The old school inkwells made for a few pranks at our school. I remember flicking our loaded nibs at the Math's teachers jacket while he had his back to us!

Other than waggin for a fag I guess I was pretty good except that I had a large family and lots of cousins so some teachers refused to have me in their classes.

On camping trip in Wales once we managed to "lose" the teachers (not a good idea in the dark) we found a short cut over a field and got chased by a bull except the next day we discovered it weren't a bull just a calf but it was far away and looked bigger.

I did snog a teacher once but that's a whole other thread!

I hated French Lesson's so my friends and I would get sticky plasters and try and stick them on Mr Johnstone's jacket as he walked up and down the classroom just to make us giggle ( small things LOL) ...... :-D :-D

Also a boy and I burned our initials underneath the lab table with a bunson burner :-0

Sad to say I was a very good little boy when I was at school, but I took every excuse I could to get to stay off sick. I thought it would be a good plan when mum left me with the thermometer in my mouth to warm it up a bit with some tea , Opps scratch one thermometer and a bead of mercury swimming in the saucer!

Shortly after leaving school part of my apprenticeship was the session with resussi-ann the practice dummy. We had a full size one not just head and shoulders.
We swapped her for one of the lads under the sheet and the instructor almost had need of our skills when she sat up.
Strangely he didn't find it as funny as we did :-0

Have fun,
Mayfield

I took a stink bomb to school and in a break opened my hand to show my friends. One of the boys hit my hand up in the air and we all fell about laughing about the awful pong.
Needless to say a prefect reported me and I was sent to the headmaster.
I remember him being a very short man who had his desk on a sort of stage thingy, so he could look down on me. I got detention :-( :-(

We went the pictures to see Kes
and i sat behind the english teacher
i sneakly lit a fag and some how set his long hair on fire HAHA
how funny our class found that :-D :-D

in grammar school, friend and I were washing paint pots outside art class when we looked through th window into the boys maths class and started making faces - maths teacher spotted us and gave us lines which I remember to this day - over sixty years later

"flirtation is a distracton which cannot be tolerated in my adolescent state" :-( :-(
