Mr Bennett.
When Ian called you "Old Onion Head" and you went red in the face and nearly cried and demanded to know who told him about that and he said he didn't know what you were talking about, it was just a silly name he made up and you must have assumed that you had a such a ridiculous onion looking head for two schools to independently give you the same nickname?


You taught my friend Stuart at your previous school.

Unless
a) he had a head shaped like an onion
b) he could peel translucent layers off his face
or
c) you cried everytime you cut him,
"Old Onion Head" was a pretty crap nickname.

It really was.
I don't know why it bothered him so much.

One of our teachers was known among the pupils as "spud head"
He was completely raving bald, with a cleft chin and other indentations that reminded us of potato eyes.

Oh, and he was Irish.

(and a Christian Brother, though he acted neither Christian nor brotherly)
