| The many
different forms of punishment, I think at some
time in my career I was it with so many different
blunt instruments that I lost count - from Joes
slipper to Des Roberts stick. |
| Hitting the
headmaster RS Briggs with a
snowball.Unfortunately he saw me do it!! |
| Pirates with
Bill Gornall, |
| Joe Kirk
playing his version of 'African Waltz' on the
(tenor ?) saxophone. |
| Getting crushed
each day between the woodwork room and the main
building as 300 older boys rushed through that
narrow passage towards the dining room. |
| Wonderful
mixture of erudite and historical references by
Spud Heywood as well as good dirty jokes |
| Winning the
Merseyside Sheild 5 - 2 against The Collegiate at
Penny Lane |
| The dramatic
performances, particularly A Man For All Seasons. |
| I well remember
an English class with the formidable Charlie
Middlehurst! My writing when producing some of my
wonderful! essays was fairly good - apart from
the letter "s" which I tended to write
more like an inverted "v". The said Mr.
Middlehurst warned me on two or three occasions
but finally ran out of patience and advised that
he was going to set me some lines to try to help
me improve. I wasn't really bothered by this -
after all lines were a regular punishment - but
was a bit surprised to find I would only have to
do twenty five of them as opposed to the normal
50 or 100. Surprised that is until I saw the line
Charlie had set me!! It was "The word
"possesses", possesses more
"s"s than any other word possesses
except for "uselessness" which
possesses as many "s"s as possesses
possesses"!! I had no more problems with my
"s"s after this! |
| Do you remember
Mr Pinell ( aka Pinhead) the Chemistry master
with the glass eye which was not properly aligned
and no-one knew whixh it was. He had the knack of
(apparently) looking in one direction, then
pointing in another whilst saying "You boy -
no no - you boy - over there" |
