at number 3, s1ut. That one still makes my eyes water. She dumped me after the trip too. Then got mad at me when I was in someone else's room on the Holland trip. That poster in Germany was a seminal moment though. It was like the scenes in Pulp Fiction where people open the case. There was just a collection of boys stopped dead on the stairs, their face's reflecting a golden glow. The internet has totally removed moments like that though. I bet teenage boys have probably seen a million girl parts by the time they're 14 now.

1. Being locked out of double chemistry (the day went double chemistry, double free, double biology). So i went down to the school hall to shoot some hoops, but ended up running around with a sword after finding out that there was an History classes' Medieval excursion type thing. Best spent $10 at school. Though if that hadn't of happened, I'd have ended up at the pool (which leads me to the 2nd one). 2. The pool across the road from my year 11 and 12 school. I should mention that two thirds of the 400 odd people in my year where female...much fun was had there. The pools that is. Yes, yes there was. 3. Going on a skiing excursion and coming down with Chicken Pox :moop: About half a dozen others contracted it after that, and it spread to the girls school too that was associated with mine

1. 2nd year art class held in a normal classroom, the art room was next door the rooms were connected via a sort of walk in storage cupboard, we were told to collect equipment from the art room via the storage cupboard. Cue 29 of 30 12 year olds all trying to get through the same door at once, the teacher had left the room briefly, all of a sudden there was a shout of "DUCK" as the remaining pupil ran across a line of desks and attempted to leap over the heads of the mass of pupils in an attempt to get to the pain brushes first. Suffice to say the loony attempting the leap cracked his head on the top of the door frame and all but knocked himself out, much to the hilarity of everyone else, the teacher had returned as the leap started and commented on the pupil lacking the abilities of a budgie. The pupil is still known to this day as budgie.
2. weekly games day at school, aged about 14, playing rugby as a winger, I broke through the defence and ran 75 yards with a teacher known as Goofy trailing behind me for the entire run, touching down at the end I turned and threw the ball towards my pursuer saying nice try but hard luck sir, except he wasn't ready and the ball hit him smack in the face. I shouldn't laugh but it still brings a smile to my face seeing a his nose dribbling blood and his goofy teeth protruding also covered with blood. Thankfully he was one of the decent ones and saw the funny side of it.
3. 6th form geography field trip to The Trossacks, we stayed in a youth hostel in the middle of nowhere. Someone put pine needles inside one of the teachers pillows, howls of laughter from the dormitories followed the scream of pain from the teachers sleeping quarters. Mind the exercise the next day was an absolute bastard as we were sent to do a population survey around one of the roughest estates in Stirling.

I don't remember school. but now I think on it: 1. Oh well, actually there was one time the hardest kid in school jumped off an embankment as I was walking past, pulled a knife and stabbed me in the stomach. It was one of those retractable blades, but I didn't know that...
2. I had a delightful classmate called Lummox, who had a syndrome, long before they were popular or Ritolin was available on tap. One glorious afternoon, he picked up one of those double-desk units and threw it at the History teacher. He ducked and it glanced off his forehead, but it was legend.
3. A teacher threatening us for using peashooters actually made a whole stick of chalk vanish into dust with his belt (not his trouser belt- his leather strap belt that they used to carry)- scared me witless for my entire school career.

I really can't think of any "out loud" moments. Most of the stuff I come up with is chite anyway, but nothing is standing out.

Pops got Cluedo for her birthday. We couldn't afford the posh franchised ones, so got the bog-standard one. It's been all "updated", which offended me and the wifely one. It's in a millionaires' beach house with a pool instead of a billiards room etc and the characters are all changed. No more Col Mustard, no, it's Jack Mustard, a top footballer.
Bah and a veritable HUMBUG.

To be fair, if you're making a coffin for Stu, adding enough room for half a dozen skinny dungaree-wearers isn't going to make that much difference.

I can't see Stu not being stuffed in there with as many games as he can possibly hold on to.

Trying to resurrect this, I spent ten minutes thinking of something I'd overheard. So that category is pish.
