no bullshit.here are some 'things' that kids did 'for a laugh' in my school.
There was...the kid who set fire to a girl's heavily-sprayed head with a miniature flamethrower made out of a can of bug spray.
There was Danny D, who put a knife between my knuckles 'for a laugh',almost setting me back considerably on my way to grade four piano.
Kudos to Tom B, who put his head through a wire-reinforced window 'for a laugh' and just missed cutting his face off.He's now a mountain-climber,a job that presumably doesn't require much brainpower.
Dear old Lee M threw a can of deodorant onto a camp-fire,removing most of his face...
And the kid who pissed down the stairwell from the top floor in between lessons,and was carried off screaming and never seen again...and the kid who lit a joint in a maths class because it 'helped him concentrate',who was led off sobbing and never seen in school again. He later appeared at the school gates and tried to sell me a pound (!) of resin.I was twelve.
My school days were not fun.They were grimy and shitty,and nostalgia makes things seem better,like watching a shit program with bad reception.
Special mention should go to my father,who is a kind, gentle, compassionate and utterly responsible soul, who was expelled from Fettes at fourteen for ,in the words of the police report, 'manufacturing high-grade explosives with intent and then using said articles to destroy a water closet.'. He then ran away to Australia, but that's another story,children....

Well....
I like this simply because I used to work in an office overlooking Fettes College and I now live in Australia.

Fettes eh?
And it gets a clicky from me too...largely because I was expelled from Fettes myself. I remember particularly fondly the article in The Sun headlined "Eight Expelled In Toff School Drug Shock" that I read on the train homeward.
