School!

[Ant]

I have to admit, I thought school was a right laugh (purely for the comedy me and my group of mates used to come up with to amuse ourselves) - it would have been so much better if all the knobs would have fcucked off.

What funny stories you got from school - I'm sure there are absolutely loads on here. One of the funniest for me was the guy had one of the jackets where the arms could be zipped off - everyday without fail we used to unzip them and hide them at some part of the school leaving him to walk around looking like a right knob in a sleeveless jacket I'm sure his mum used to make him wear!!

I reckon there was 6 types of school kid

Type 1 - Complete SWOT, spotty, dull, lifeless and often picked on
Type 2 - Clever (as good as type 1s in most cases) but actually has a laugh, a life and is seen as quite "cool"
Type 3 - Middle of the road intelligence, always up for a laugh and usually well behaved (with the odd exception)
Type 4 - Thick but well behaved
Type 5 - Thick but a complete to55er
Type 6 - Complete no-hoper - the type where you know they will be in prison by the time they are 21

I reckon I was a type 2, good at what I did but had a right laugh in the process.

Anyone got funny stories or significant things you remember?

And where the fook can you buy pink custard from? :confused:

I think i'm a number 3 but we had plenty of 6's at my school

I was a type 1 at first, but as for being picked on I put up with it for a while and then laid out a kid that was supposed to be "well ard". My friends said it took two teachers to drag me off him but I didn't remember too much about it. After that I became a type 2 :)

Was a type 2, too. I knew a type 1 who never told anyone he had a black belt in karate. Someone started on him and he lashed out, much to everyone's surprise. Not sure how I could have kept that sort of secret to myself if I had a black belt at 14!

You've missed out two types...
-the one who's good at everything but also captain of the rugby, cricket and football squad/team.
-the one who's shit at everything but good at sport

no, i was neither of them... always been shit at sports... well, sports usually played in schools (maybe I should start a school where cricket, football and rugby are banned but you get a choice of doing various martial arts, a number of extreme sports or motorsport!)

Yeh, that's true. The only sport I used to enjoy was either Athletics or Football. All the rest were crap and a waste of time. Did anyone used to go swimming with school? Was anyone elses school like ours where you had approximately 20minutes in the water before it was time to get changed and back to school. What a waste!! Still, I've done my survival and can probably tread water for eternity!!

You sure you've not made up type 2 to fit a nice image of your over-positive hopeful percieved self-image around? You haven't? Right, then I'm a type 2 as well :D

Mmmmmm... we had a lot of rugby lads in our school - usually brightish, attractive to a certain sort of girl for no apparant reason, nice on their own, ******s as a group :)

I can never work out how 13yr old girls who are porky to say the least, have various items of jewually/metal attached to all external parts of the body and their every other word is 'innit' get up the duff!

Maybe cos there legs open at 4pm everyday :rolleyes:

Don't think I fell into any category. Pretty much middle of the road intelligence wise but I absolutely hated the place. To this day it makes me shiver to go past it.

My problems were all self inflicted however. In our school you were banded according to ability so if you were in the top band for one subject you were in the top band for them all if you see what I mean.

I was in the top band in the 1st and second year and that meant we had to do German as well as French. I absolutley hate German, not just because I didn't have a flair for languages (loved French) but because the teacher, was an overtlly effeminate poof called Tranter (name not changed, to incriminate the guilty) who like nothing better than to humiliate me publicly because I was lousy at German.

At the end of the 2nd year we had an exam in which we hade to write a composition in Geman about whatever we wanted. I had total brainfade so decided to write a letter from a Mr A Hitler to his best pall Mr Goebels. I thought it was quite good but Tranter disagreed and wanted me gassed. I was thrown out of German, which meant I had to go into band 3 (cos they were the only band that didn't do German) with all the tossers, lunatics and crims. Hated it after that, skived off as often as possible and left without qualifications.

Then went to college where I got my qualis and of to uni thereafter. College and Uni were great. School was shit.

Kept meself largely to myself, had a group of mates, went into 6th on a scholarship, and was headboy.
god knows what catagory that makes me.

Oh and the only kid to wear a duffel coat and a conscientious objection to the school rules that meant we had to wear exactly that. A few of the staff got the irony, so they weren't all bad.
