I was both a day boy (GAY boy!) and a boarder.
You miss out on a lot of quite important socialisation as a day pupil. Important decisions and plans tended to be made during the evening activities, prep and after lights out - also adventures.

Alt: went to see the White Lies last night. They weren't nearly as good as they were earlier in the year at their secret gig, and their drummer needs replacing - was slowing down and speeding up all over the shop. His technique's good, but his timing and tempo are atrocious.

White Lies (Don't Do It)

No - that's White LiNes (Don't Do It) by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. That was a rap record from the early 1980s.
White Lies are something of a generic rock band, very much in the vein of Ultravox and a little like some of the early Depeche Mode stuff.

DUH.

White Lies aren't very good.
This is your problem.

They're certainly no Coldplay, but I like their studio work.
But honestly - their drummer is terrible - to the point that everyone around me was making that sort of cringy, well-this-is-embarrassing face at points.

A band is only ever as good as their drummer
