sunday Night rollcall and TV....
yeah yeah ... I went to a boarding school. Sedbergh... and the home of "Pepperpot"... the best 'Shroom picking area known to man.

Sunday Night rollcall was usually executed as the TV was muted in an Ad-Break. Bert and I had been picking shrooms and making a crude 'Shroom soup.

We'd overdone it, and the then-prevalent Guiness Ad (with Louis Armstrong singing "we've got all the time in the world") came on with the zoom-in sequence that went Guiness Glass, Bubbles, Bubble, Universe, Solar System, Earth, UK, Cloud, Town, flat, Windowsill, guiness glass, bubbles - etc.... No Volume, but a very big screen and lots of whizzing pictures. We'd underestimated the shrooms strength, and we were sucked in.... Tripping off our tits.

We were rushing through spaaaace. and falling through the sky.... and shiiiit we're gomnna hit the earth... ARRRRRGHHHHHHHH

*sigh*

Apparently we weren't *imagining* that we were screaming, and we were infact gripping the arms of our seats and shaking violently and screaming at the tops of our lungs as we tried tried to escape our plunge towards earth.... While Mr Smith was stood there saying "Humpty? Humpty... are you ok? What's up with Bert and Humpty?"

School Trips? yeah... they can be a nightmare. :o(
