Another eccentric teacher
Mr Law - art teacher (what else?) who never actually managed to teach us art, his lessons being long, monotone monologues on anything that happened to be on his mind.

He had a bizarre feud going on with the bloke who ran the bike shop in the village, and would often send pupils down to the shop on a letter-running errand.

"Duck," he droned to me one afternoon", "Take this message down to the bike shop. Be sure to wait for a reply."

I waited until I got out of the school gates before unfolding the piece of paper. There, written in Law's unmistakable copper-plate handwriting were the words "You're a bastard".

I was given, in return, an oil-stained scrap of paper. On it was scrawled "Up yours".

He subsequently grew a handlebar 'tache and is now The Edge out of U2*

ah, Bonar Law....
i clearly remember him having one of those self-same monologues on the shooting of Kodiak bears and the possibility of a misunderstanding of the weaponry needed due to the similarity of "kodiak" and "kodak".
the bike shop owner (hairy pete) was a miserable sod though....

I guess a story about Happy Harman the metalwork perv is in order..

Harman and his constant sly roll-ups and the enevitable nipple cripples?
Oddly he only ever went for the boys

My word, Mr Law
I had the misfortune to be taught by that very man (I am guessing you mean a school that oinks...)

only the boys?
He used to get very cuddly with Linda Nott though...

and yes, the school that oinks. And reeks of cabbages and/or sewers, depending on the wind direction.

Good grief
We're not ALL from the same school, are we?

God bless old Barmy Harmy, wherever he is now.

an ex-piggott B3ta support group or something? I feel the need for some catharsis...
