The Weird Kid In ClassThere was a kid in my class who stood up every day and told everyone he had new shoes. This went on for weeks, and we all thought him nuts. Then, one day, he stood up and told us a long story about why his family were moving to another part of the country, and how excited he was. The next thing we heard was that he'd died in a plane crash.
Let's hear about the weird kid in your class...

So it's not just me...Why do I get the feeling that this QOTW is just going to turn into the revelation, like Kirk Douglass in the crowd of slaves, that I'm the weird Kid, no, I'm The Weird Kid...
Yup, it was me. Not only was I the Weird Kid but I was also Gay... you see I was brought up in a small mining village. During the strike Daddy dear was a "pig" mmm that went down well with my school friends. I read books and listened to Radio 4, and in our village if you didn't have a smokers cough stubble and 3 kids by the age of 12 then you obviously liked it up the wrong 'un.
The crap thing was I didn't know that I was a figure of ridicule until I met an old school friend who said to me "I never liked the way you were bullied" Bullied? I hadn't noticed... thus proof that Nottinghamshire bullying standards are terribly low and should be addressed by government.
btw. Now I'm really well paid and work on the radio I can't wait for the re-union :-)
