On the stage
Too shy to ever appear on stage myself, I still hung around theatres like a bad smell when I was younger - lighting and set design were what I was good at.
Backstage we'd attempt to sabotage every production - us lighting geeks would wind up the sound man by putting the remote "pause" button for his reel-to-reel tape machine on his chair, so when he sat down it'd start running, ruining his cues. Actors would do scenes out of order to make our lives hell. It was great and I don't know why I don't still do it.

Bunch of Cunts
I was in many a musical back in 6th Form (mainly cause I wanted to piece the English teacher that directed them!). Final year we did that soppy piece of 50's shite, Grease. Me and my best mate both thought we were the dog's bollocks and expected to get the top parts. I ended up getting Sonny and my mate got Kenickie, the lucky swine!
Now imagine the BIGGEST cunt on the earth; the one that brought his guitar into the common room and played Bohemian rhapsody, singing at full volume all of the parts. The man was prick beyond measure.
Come rehearsals it is announced who sandra D was, a hottie with the best rack ever. And the lucky sod that got to get off with her and cop a feel 4 nights in a row.... The Prick! That was it, half the cast threatened to leave but we're talked around by bribes of extra credit. Me and my mate where told that if we left we'd pretty much have our privelages taken away from us for the rest of our A levels. Cunts!
Anyway the play was disasterous. I was left on the stage numurous times, improvising with some idiotic year 10 (although for every line I improved he'd come back with, "Ya, fosure") waiting for the PRICK to appear from the wings. Anyway, short story long my mate is now banging sandra dee and we ripped apart greased lightning on the last night. Oh and knocking the prick off the end of the stage in the finale was a complete accident.....
