RE: tickles, and dr bailey
i had a science teacher called dr bailey too. she was a completely fucking useless bint. a majority of the girls in my class delighted in insulting her red boots, which she wore every day. for 3 years.

she wasnt particularly good (read: at all), and i vividly remember going to her class one day, and discovering that we had a 'temporary stand in' teacher, as dr bailey was off ill
as he said that, we saw her being escorted off site by the local filth, having turned up paraletic that morning. apparently theres more of an entertaining backstory to it, but its far too late to remember it fully

turns out temporary teacher bloke was to be permanant teacher bloke, and was possibly the best science teacher ever, due to his blatant disregard of safety rules ("dont wear the goggles if you dont want to, the ones at this schoo are shit, and are probably more dangerous than the watery acid") and wanton pyromania ("morning class, today we'll be playing with hydrogen and bunsen burners")

and as for dr bailey, i heard she topped herself few years back. dunno if its the same teacher though, she taught at st johns in epping until 1997/8
