By and large, MC, our teachers were a benign bunch. As I said, they’d mostly only clock you for misbehaving or being stupid. And the maxim that you always remember your best teachers certainly holds true foe me.

Certainly worth reading - for the reminders of when schooldays weren't always the best days of your life. At my own fondly
remembered Wiltshire school, we were taught English (after a
fashion...it was more like a meeting/chat) by a teacher who was a
member of a prominent rugby team from just across the border in
Somerset. Thankfully, he had none of the sadistic tendencies
mentioned in this blog - perhaps because his level of the sport
was professional and more demanding. And he was also fond of the sister of one of our classmates...so they said!!

I wasn’t a pleasant player, Brian.
It was worth it to see his face after he got up, Izzy. I made sure he knew it was me.

That's an unusual piece for you John - but I wouldn't mind betting it helped scratch an itch that you've had for a long time.

Revenge is sweet and we all look back to school days and wish we'd acted differently in certain situations.

I'm glad you managed to put the boot in. 2 of my favourite films are Gladiator and Die Hard - does that say something about me? ?
