Your Weirdest TeacherThe strangest teacher at my school used to practice his lessons at night. We'd watch through the classroom windows as he did his entire lesson, complete with questions to the class and telling off misbehaving students.
Were your teachers as strange? Of course they were...

Piano ManWe tortured all our secondary school teachers - we got our first one fired, our second one developed diabetes and the third died of alcoholism. In 4 years! Thats pretty good going.
None got it as bad as The Lurch, and strange Frankensteinian cross between a young Patrick Moore and.... well, and Frankenstein. A mad glazed stare pierced the room from under massive black perma-cocked eyebrows.
And we tortured the FUCK out of him. Throwing keyboards around playing 'Reggae Demo Number 2' at bowel-emptying volumes... we were evil incarnate.
When the lesson reached this chaotic frenzied peak of what we thought was unbridled creativity (but what the police would call wanton terrorism) he sat behind his piano, staring at the ceiling, playing some classical piece, probably repeating some calming mantra that his therapist taught him under his breath.
Then I saw him a few weeks ago busking at Angel tube station. He plays the violin. Look out for him - thats The Lurch.
And boy did I ever feel guilty. I almost went and apologised.
