Back in the 60s and 70s
...there were no boring teachers. Some were bastards, some nutters, some geniuses.

Mr Singleton in primary school had lost an eye in a Lancaster, and would quell the class by threatening to lift the patch.

Father O'Reilly, who was open about his lack of vocation and who could play Black Dog only when pissed.

Sister Assumpta who had balls of steel. It was quite the thing at one point to leave porn on teachers desks; she didn't run out of the room but put it up on the OHP and invited the class to get them out and tug. No takers.

The Head, who caught me and a mate making homebrew in the darkroom. When it was ready, he locked it away and every Friday we went to his office where we would be permitted a bottle each: "Boys, alcohol is a divine gift, and moderation is the thanksgiving for it". He once suspended 2 sixth-years for shagging at a dance. The guy who was underneath got a week, the one on top 2 weeks. "Gentlemen, the ground was damp, and the young lady could have caught her death. If I haven't taught you morals, I will teach you manners."

And the nameless priest who came to give us a chat about alcoholism and told us that he knew he had a problem when he called the Archbishop of Valencia a "Franco-worshipping cocksucker" in front of the aforesaid Spanish general and mass-murderer. Standing ovation, in which the staff joined.
