Bag for balls wrote:I was generally good at most things, apart from History and Geography, I just had no interest in them. My two "school related big me up claim to fames" are thus.
1) I was the only person to get 100% in my 6th form mock Maths exam, and they had to extend the column on the results sheet, just for mine.
2) I am still the school 400 m record holder 12 years since leaving. I know this because they now have them on-line so I can check.
Was the maths, Pure, Applied or Statistics ?
My school record was for throwing a Black Forest Gateux 40 ft across the dining Hall and hitting the head of sixth form square on the face !
I was egged on by the History teacher sat next to me, and when the head of sixth form stood and shouted "get out" I looked and pointed at said History teacher, really very funny, well I thought so, not many of the students did though, as I think they had to cancel the rest of the evening.
Although my best recolection of this event was afterwards, when I had been castigated, and told to leave immediately, I helped the teacher clean up, and whilst damping cream from his suit asked him whether it was a good time to ask for my reference ! Classic
