Terrible ParentingMy parents used to lock my brother, sister and I in the car while they went to the pub for a "quick one" after work. This quick one might last several hours, during which they would send bottles of Indian Tonic Water to us by way of refreshment.
On one particularly cold evening, bored stupid, we lit a small bonfire on the back seat of the car using the cigarette lighter and the contents of the glove box. We owe our lives to passing winos. (BTW: Please no more Maddie or Jesus gags, they've been done.)

Poor Math SkillsI was crap at math as a kid. My parents spent loads of money getting tutors and all that, but it didn't help. I was still crap at math, totally and utterly.
Then they had a brainwave and sent me to a Catholic school. My math improved beyond belief!
As soon as I saw that fellow nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't fucking about.
