skinhead

[Paul Simonon]

anyone remember me?

[Tony.London Suburbs]

If you were one of the 500 Chelsea skinheads chasing me at Boxhill Station in Surrey in Easter, 1968 then yes I bally well do M8.

You know what? I was too fast for you then and I still am 41 years later...speak to you in another 41 years time in 2050::o

[Jah Lush]

Weren't you in The Clash?

[RosieH]

I think I bought one of your paintings.

[PeckhamRose]

How's Mr Garfunkeloff?

[Santerme]

Did you go to the now sadly missing Tulse Hill School?

[daizie]

or Kingsdale :-S

[bigbadwolf]

Kingsdale?

Leave it out Daizie. There's only one school round these parts that makes the grade.

Forest Hill Boys School.

DON'T. WATCH. US!!!

[bigbadwolf]

Oh and incase a certain someone pipes up about Dulwich College. Forest Hill Boys used to own them in the under 17 Cadbury's Rugby cup. Except that one time.

[bigbadwolf]

Reynolds house all day every day!!!

[daizie]

Dont get me started on secondary education ..

Stay on topic.. do you know him ?

[bigbadwolf]

No but I know that Forest Hill Boys School could teach a few of the kids at Kingsdale a thing or two.

Bass player... weird

[HonaloochieB]

Simmo? Of course we remember you, and in the case of me and HonaloochieJr, love you dearly.

It's a matter of great puzzlement and vexation to us both that you're not in the top ten of those National Treasure lists.

I'd put you in the top five myself.

I went there and there's nothing sad to miss about it.

I respectfully disagree.

I went to a boarding school from 1969 to 1975 and then got the culture shock of my life as a member of Faraday House at Tulse Hill from '75 to '77.

A teacher from British Guyana called Mr George took pity on me as I was not really working to my potential.

I ended up with a place at Durham University, pretty much because of him.

I am still in touch with a few of the people from there and most of them have done really well for themselves.....

You manifest your own destiny, THS taught me that.

[Jah Lush]

Horses for courses. I was there between '69 and '74. It was a culture shock for me too after being brought up in leafy Dulwich Village. Got mugged on my first day. There were nearly 2,000 kids there when I was there, skinheads and rude boys and nearly all of us wanted to kill each other. It taught me to be street wise. I walked out in the end and told them to stick it up their arse. Never went back. It wasn't all bad though.

Was Mr George an English teacher? If so, I remember him. He was great. I made a point of going to his lessons because he made things interesting. I'd started to write poetry/lyrics and he would greatly encourage me. Lovely man.

[Santerme]

I learned survival skills quite quickly, but boarding school is a good preparation for that.

In fact both establishments set me up very well for my subsequent career.

It all seems a little surreal today thinking back, but it definitely was not for the faint hearted!

Mr George was an English teacher, he was one of the few there that actually made a difference.

I guess you were there for the Ali visit?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Do I remember you? I rather think you left a reminder!

That's 13 years' child support please - it was twins so make that double.

They will both be needing work experience later in the year - I can supply the plectrums (like I've supplied all their clothes, food, emotional and spiritual nurture).

Bastard.
