Posted on my Facebook page today:
"I was just reminiscing with Moira about my school days. When elevated from the 5th year to the 6th, it went to some peoples' heads as they began addressing teachers by their Christian names and sitting in armchairs swilling coffee outside the common room in the sun. This annoyed me and a friend of mine (who is present here among us) so much that he booted a football into the back of the head of one of these offenders, just as he raised his cup to his stupid lips. It was a long shot and gauged perfectly; we laughed so.
This same friend was also once caught by the Deputy Head (Mr "Ray-gun" Ray) inscribing the legend "Williams is a wanker" into the library wall one lunchtime. He got the slipper, detention and a couple of hundred lines for that.
Happy days!"
