I am Rod Hull Posted 24 October 2011 Posted 24 October 2011 Detentions, skipping off, detentions for not going to detentions....
Webbo Posted 24 October 2011 Posted 24 October 2011 Quiet, well behaved. Quite clever but too lazy to achieve anything.
Nick Posted 24 October 2011 Posted 24 October 2011 Quiet, well behaved. Quite clever but too lazy to achieve anything. Is that what Mark said when you applied for Mod?
Dr The Singh Posted 24 October 2011 Posted 24 October 2011 Is that what Mark said when you applied for Mod? Me and Nick used to hold hands at school!!
AoWW Posted 24 October 2011 Posted 24 October 2011 Me and Nick used to hold hands at school!! I hate to be the one to break it to you, but that wasn't Nick's hand you were holding under the desk!
Webbo Posted 24 October 2011 Posted 24 October 2011 Is that what Mark said when you applied for Mod? My application went down like Ricky Gervais at a Mencap benefit gig.
AoWW Posted 24 October 2011 Posted 24 October 2011 My application went down like Ricky Gervais at a Mencap benefit gig. It came in useful though... we were running short of loo roll.

Christoph Posted 24 October 2011 Posted 24 October 2011 Mates pissed around but I never really took part. Was always friendly with everybody and made no enemies. MAde sure I did my work when my friends would prat about. Came out with 3 A's and the rest B's, so looks like it worked. Remember kids, listen to your teachers

Remember kids, listen to your teachers I didn't get a single A However, it seems I'm still more successful than those who only came out with A's at school. Experience > GCSE's
Bugg Posted 24 October 2011 Posted 24 October 2011 Looking back on it.. I was a complete twat in school, no I'm not proud of it.
Rincewind Posted 24 October 2011 Posted 24 October 2011 I never had the chance to do GSCE's. I was not in the top two forms and in those days only the top forms had kids that took degrees. The rest were expected to go into apprentices or on the game. I did not fancy the latter I did an apprentice of sorts. Went to work on Abbey Park for about four months. When at school I was quiet and just did my best. They had promotion and demotion. I came top at a few subjects in the lower class (even RI not bad for an athiest in the making) but came about bottom in the higher class. Learned as much out of school than in it. I probably have changed and matured since leaving school and it wasnt the best place for me. I was quiet and never joined in with the others antics much. It seems such a long time ago yet only like yesterday. In the playground you never looked 45-50 years into the future yet I am now doing it in reverse
BoneDog Posted 24 October 2011 Posted 24 October 2011 I was pretty hilarious at school. Everyone was surprised that I didn't go on to be a stand up comedian or make sitcoms. I was in the top set for all subjects from year one to five but blew all my chances due to being sidetracked by girls, football, music and alcohol. Could have been a mainstream genius. I once got randomly smacked in the gob when I was in the first year by an older lad and I never understood why until I recently thought about it. It probably had something to do with the fact that I had drawn a Swastika on both cuffs of my shirt in biro. I had also drawn one of those tattoos of a Doc Martin boot hanging from a parachute on my arm. I think they were NF tattoos that I had learned from my older NF nextdoor neighbours who I looked up to, but I had no idea what it was all about back then! * I feel sorry for kids of today who don't know what it's like to see teachers regularly throwing blackboard chalk erasers at pupils. Or joining in fights. The discipline's gone I'm afraid. * As an aside, my NF neighbours were also my quite regular babysitters. Oh the scary evenings as a 9-11 year old! Weejie boards, glue-sniffing, fighting, fires and allsorts while they were supposed to be watching Big Trouble in Little China on video with me whilst eating Tutti Frutti ice cream. But I never told my Mum.

But I never told my Mum. I remember one of our teachers keeping the class behind for a good hour after school because one person wouldn't admit it was them who'd stolen the blackboard eraser or something. One lad was desperate for the toilet and asked for permission to be excused, but the teacher kept refusing him. He asked several times and was clearly busting to go but the teacher said no every time...so he punched the teacher in the stomach! I don't think anyone could blame him, really.
MikeyT Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 Much slimmer, shorter and would have tried to avoid conflict at all costs Now, I'm taller, bigger built and couldn't care less about answering someone back. Definitely an age thing where you get older and just think, **** it. Oh and of course I'm far better looking now.
Dr The Singh Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 I hate to be the one to break it to you, but that wasn't Nick's hand you were holding under the desk! It felt like a very small finger, like a cocktail sausage for midgets???? I miss those days when we used to hold hands and play kiss chase in the school park!!!!
General Smuts Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 Hugely overly competitive. Did track, field, cross-country, football, rugby, swimming and anything else going. Was immensely fit. Bit too immature to give a shit about girls, being fashionable or popular though. Had a good group of friends I'm still in touch with but, apart from when playing sport, had little to do with the 'cool' kids. This until I grew a fringe and learnt to skateboard then I got all (1 - ugly as sin but a bit of a slapper) the chicks.
ScouseFox Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 Fucking boss. In with the popular lads who liked a laugh, too busy being funny and taking the piss for many girls to be interested though. The ones with a decent sense of humour and could take a joke were good mates though. The ones who couldn't, those constantly moody, always offended birds (about 99% of the species) weren't my biggest fans, to say the least. In terms of work and stuff, immensely bright but way too lazy. Predicted 9 A*s 2 As at GCSE, was told by one teacher in the last year before he retirement I was the brightest person she ever taught. Always took the "I passed without trying, why should I try harder and pass better" route though, still doing alright now. If college still counts as school it's pretty much the same now. I quite like how I am, I could care a bit more but be arsed.
ousefox Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 Exactly like Simon off the inbetweeners, so many similarities it's unreal. But a bit cleverer!

MAde sure I did my work when my friends would prat about. Came out with 3 A's and the rest B's, so looks like it worked. Remember kids, listen to your teachers At GCSE I never did any extra work and just chilled in lessons. 11 A's and two B's though
Guest BlueBrett Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 Anybody who's seen Ferris Bueller knows exactly what i was like at school . At least in my sunny remembrances. Really hope i don't grow up to marry a crow
Fox92 Posted 25 October 2011 Posted 25 October 2011 I was too laid back and lazy to achieve what was predicted. I did like to act stupid (like Frank Spencer), and I would always try and make people laugh (especially girls!!). I haven't changed much now either. In my last year of college, earlier this year, my lecterer said I am too laid back to take anything seriously. I have a big sense of humour though, and I always will, so I am always up for a laugh - I just like to make people laugh. Our school year was very talented though. In particular; Liam Palmer who is now a regular in the Sheffield Wednesday squad. Did anyone have awards when they left? We had several, and I got two - 'always happy', and 'best smile'

We had several, and I got two - 'always happy', and 'best smile' We had a surprising amount of people in our year at school who went on to success within the "entertainment" industry. One lad who i was in a band with went on to have a couple of top 40 singles and a top 20 album with Lo-Fidelity Allstars, another lad I was in a band with went on to be a West End stage actor and acted in "Jerry Springer: The Musical", one girl became a reporter from Channel 5, one girl presented a tv programme called "Restoration" with Griff Rhys Jones and yet another lad I was in a band with was a regular on the Jerry Sadowitz show, acted with Clare Grogan in a film and most recently has featured regularly on the Count Arthur Strong Show on Radio 4. Phew.
