  1.  

    55555 I've just had time to catch up with my fellow posters' misspent youths. I was the same, a victim of three all male schools, 2 boarding. I wasn't bad, just rebellious which meant I was asked to leave from two of them, Better for the record than being expelled, I just 'left'. The suffocating atmosphere of boarding schools got to me and my friends and trouble followed.

    I though I had left it all behind until a few years ago my mother phoned from England and just said:

    ' So was it you?'

    'Was I what mother?'

    ' That Stephen Fry you went to school with has written his autobiography, he mentioned you and two of your friends by surname and said one of you introduced him to marijuana, so was it you?'

    Thanks Stephen for dropping me in it all these years later. I've probably been written out of the will now to be replaced by the cats' home. My mother had always suspected I was prone to experimentation in my youth and now Fry was adding fuel to the fire. The cad, the rotter!

    Tut Tut,  Brilliant, I've always liked Fry, I like him

    more now. Please let your mother know that I

    have a cat at home in the UK.

    I think I'll go and have a smoke in the bogs now.

    Funny thing was I can remember I had already a figure in my head for a new left hand silencer, bars, clutch lever, fairing panel and indicator unit before I hit the road.

    The broken thumb and pinky and cost of new helmet were later thoughts. ????????

    My only thought was of losing my date with Becky

    as  I disappeared  down into the dark, watery,

    murky underworld of the village pond.

     Hells duck.

    It's the point where going around a bend with bike as far over as you know it will go and you realise the bend is getting tighter. Choice, drop the bike or hope the ditch on the outside has no concrete or steel sticky up bits and the road is free of traffic coming the other way.

    However, the word Hell is not likely to be the word you usually use.

    I see, so, The angle of no return = the universal 'F' factor.

  4. I must say, I envy you lot, I was an only child, sent to a

    boys only school, can you imagine.  All I knew about

    females was from exciting biology textbooks, to me

    they were a fascinating, alluring enigmas. and have

    remained so to this day.

    The height of my academic achievement occurred when

    the geography teacher left the classroom, I felt the

    desire to swing on the world globe thing hanging from

    the ceiling. Amid the cheers of delight, the bloody thing

    busted in two at the equator and sent me sprawling on

    the floor in front of teach as he entered the room,

    an awkward moment followed abruptly by the cane.

    So, I learn from that, that stupidity is good fun.

    You're turn bannork.

    Bunter was a favourite in the 50s.
