lapal_fan Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Schools have a lot of problems without uniforms, such as bullying ("your clothes are shit") and identification if someone goes missing ("they were wearing the school blazer at this time").I didn't have to wear a blazer at my school, but the uniforms were okay, just a light blue shirt with a dark blue sweater. It's changed now but when I was there year 11's could wear black trousers, white polo neck (no logos) with a plain black jumper. Thought it was quite a good idea, but they've changed it now to everyone is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Looking back on my appalling fashion sense at the time, I only realise now what a blessed relief being made to wear a school uniform actually was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Loved primary school, didn't like secondary school too much. I kind of felt ignored by the teachers, because I was your bog standard, typical 'C' student. They seemed to be too busy with the clever kids and the naughty kids.But I'd love to do it again, I'd probably actually pay attention in lessons now.Interesting fact, in the 5 years at secondary school, I never went for a wee or a poo.

Stevo985 Posted September 11, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 11, 2015 I loved school.If I encountered a genie in a lamp and he gave me one wish, it would be to go back to year 7, and live my life from that point with the knowledge I have now.That would be awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poo maybe (I was the same, no idea how when I think about me these days) but no wee!? How?Probably because I never drank either. Didn't trust the water fountains and didn't have any money to buy a drink. I don't even think I took a drink to school with me.I do remember asking Rob182 if I could have a sip of his drink after PE once and it turned out to be ginger beer.Ginger beer is the worst drink on the planet and I'm still angry with him about it. Ginger beer! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginger beer!, No, but then I've never had whiskey or bourbon. I guess I'm not qualified enough to judge the worst drink in the world competition.All I know is, if I was dying of thirst in the desert, I'd sooner drink camel wee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be awesome. funny enough I said almost the same thing to someone yesterday .. I'm not American so didn't use the word " awesome " though and my art teacher who used to wear baggy tops , no bra and lean over you ..would definitely get it once Genie works his magic Edited September 11, 2015 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I still remember my first day at school. No trauma, quite enjoyed it. Day two was the problem, when it suddenly dawned on me that I had to keep doing it every day for years and years. I wasn't so keen then.Ha ha ha. Same here. A couple of days in I attached myself to the lamp post outside our house.There were tears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think going back to being 18 years old would be the best respawn point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now I have a vision of Call of Duty where little birth canals open up and armed soldiers burst from them. (Using video-game as metaphors for life is a double-edged sword.)

Rugeley Villa Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 opened a bottle of single malt scotch whiskey last night and just finished it, i say a bottle but it was one of those tiny bottles. was told to drink it neat as it was quite expensive and up scotland thats how they have it, anyway i was dreading it but to my surprise it was quite pleasant. drinking it in sips and not gulps is the way and after the initial shock of the first couple of mouthfuls i enjoyed it and i am now according to my missus a proper gentleman she likes men north of the border.
