Neither I'm afraid Quids. I did get awarded the George Cross on a technicality though.

You'll be shocked to know that I was even a Prefect Quids. I was also on the inter-house Rugby and Cricket teams, never made it to the school teams though...far too clever for my own good.

Nunhead = The local p...y camp

"Did you go to a public school?" Are you taking the piss Horsebox? When on earth would a public school have a bogman in charge! Bloody cheek!

No Horsebox...he was the wolf in sheeps clothing, make no mistake.

Forest hill = Beverly hills

He called me by my first name. He remembers all of his flock past and present and he even asked after my brothers. When he was sworn in as headmaster when I was 13 he openly cried on stage but the school thought nothing less of him and the applause was literally deafening. He wouldn't run away from me and whenever I bump into him I still feel as though I'm in uniform.

Mick - I agree entirely. School should be a place where the teachers are in charge and not having to constantly compromise with it's pupils. When I was at school (I left secondary in 2000) it went like this; "Sir/Miss I need to leave school at lunchtime to go home." "Do you have a note from your parents or any consent from a member of staff to leave the school grounds?" "No." "Then you will remain on the school grounds until it's time to go home." I know I slag off the Irish a tiny bit but I count myself lucky to have had a strict but fair/decent Irish headmaster who knew when I was up to something. Peter Walsh, Forest hill boys. He's retired but I'll never forget him and I saw him in Forest hill last month and I still called him Sir.

It's a sad story isn't it Mick Mac. Todays state schools just seem to be a stable of wasters for Jeremy Kyle. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Bring back the c...!

Dulwich Village = Southwark riviera

Need a glass of water? There's a tap for that. Tired? There's a nap for that. Forgot your anniversary? There's a slap for that. Got anymore iphone app gags? There's a slow sardonic clap for that.

In his Swiss Army phone.

At last, now I can have my say. HAL9000. Whatever they were doing, next time you see someone or a group of people brandishing an offensive weapon/s and vandalising wheelie bins or street furniture call the Police immediately and notify them of the offenders whereabouts instead of telling a load of people who's adresses you don't know on an internet forum. It's a bit like saying; "I've just seen some bloke holding a gun to someones head, what should I do?"

Thank you Huguenot. I'm sure either Pam Ayres or Ogden Nash would be proud that some are still carrying the torch.

Now I'm old and feeble and my pilot light is out. What used to be my sex appeal is now my water spout. Twas a time, when of it's own accord from my trousers would it spring. But now I have a part time job to find the bloody thing. I used to be embarressed to make the thing behave. For every single morning it would stand and watch me shave. Alas old age approaches it sure gives me the blues, to see it hang it's withered head and watch me tie my shoes.

What? I'm only trying to change the tone of this thread. Quite civil after being called 'ageist scum' (there's no dash by the way PR) if you ask me.

Yeah, come on you lot...leave them alone.

"I was on telly last night. Nowt to do with swine flu though" "Are you looking for some hot velvet aged 60 to 70 in your area? Just text 'septuagenarian' to this number and you'll be hooked up with a wrinkly in your area. Why wait for tomorrow when you can have the past now."

Why has the forum gone from a blue and white background to beige and white, was it something I said or is it just my P.C?

I reckon that by about 2050 A.D Apple inc will have achieved world domination with Steve Jobs as head of the new world order with Bill Gates as his bitch. I reckon Mockney has been enlightened or paid off and has his place confirmed amongst the new ruling body. Don't say I didn't warn you. I'll probably be banned after posting this. See you on the other side.

Forest hill cars have vehicles with roof racks.

Oooohhhhh Moos, why must you single me out...I'm only a youngster after all. I don't think I could possibly deal with your sugar coated, cloak and dagger tactics. I'm far more suited to open warfare. Be gentle with me Moos.

I know! I wonder if the photographer was 'shooting from the hip'. It can bring out a very mixed reaction.

Are you two going to continue to gang up on me?
