Awesome teachers
Teachers have been getting a right kicking recently and it's not fair. So, let's hear it for the teachers who've inspired you, made you laugh, or helped you to make massive explosions in the chemistry lab. (Thanks to Godwin's Lawyer for the suggestion)

Twisty (baw_bag's one reminded me of this)
Quite a sound teacher, taught us Geography and why not to become a teacher when you grow up, just because of the amount of crap thrown your way. He did play on it a bit though and seemed to allow the nutters and gobshites to vent at him for a bit, rather than going chair-throwing berserk like some other teachers in the school (I am NOT exaggerating that, one teacher introduced himself by hurling a plastic chair through a filing cabinet, I shit you not).
The only problem with him was he actually got embarrased a few times due to the insults. Considering we were in the 13-15 catergory the plethora of insults were quite imaginative from us. One such classic was from Stu, during a quiet "Read this chapter about ox-bow lakes or some other shite that won't help you get that IT job" moment.
He asks Twisty "You've got a kid haven't you sir?"
Twisty rather guardedly and already smirking slightly said "Yes..2 actually."
"How old?"
"16 and 4."
"So....did your oldest...um...ever hear what you two were upto then?"
Awkward pause while Twisty takes this in.
"No."
"Well to be honest, you can't be doing it right then."
Oh dear, fell right into that one didn't you. In fairness he laughed harder than the rest of us and agreed he had a point there, good times :D

What are the chances he took that one home with him and used it on someone else?
