The recipe for my mexican layer dip is ancient chinese secret.... Nyuck!
Frijoles on the bottom, home-made guac with Tapatio next, sour cream, fresh jalapeno & tomato salsa over that, with a thick layer of jack 'n cheddar cheese, topped with chopped green onion, diced chillies and olives. You can substitute tomatio tomatos with serranos if you wanna make people cry.
Now, for the beer... Modelo Negro is a nice dark mexican beer, but if you like something a bit lighter, try Dos Equis Amber.
Martians can't handle the hot stuff!

It was a Northern grammar school - all of the disadvantages of boarding school without any of the potential benefits of the old boy network. Mind you, at least sodomy was optional as opposed to compulsory.
10 years of rugby, cold showers and discipline - you've no idea what you missed!

Thank's to 10 Woodbines, a quart of Woodpecker cider and some greeny-brown crumbly substance that was probably the most expensive vegitable stock cube ever purchased by three school boys in the history of 'my bruva's mate can get some ov tha good stuff' - I have no idea what I missed either

Nothing wrong with a good southern comprehensive school education - never did me no harm & there was no risk of the head boy forcing a hot muffin on me from behind, either.
The only risk I seem to remember was passing the staff room window if 'Psycho' Freeman (PE teacher) was in a bad mood, in which case you'd get bellowed at for no apparent reason & forced to sort the school goats into alphabetical order, or some such pointless task.  At least the off license next to the nearest pub was not adverse to selling Watneys Party Sevens to clearly underage boys in school uniforms

I also had the pleasure of explaining to my son that the substance that he had bought was easily prepared from the items in my kitchen cupboard.

I also had a teacher at Grammar called Freeman. His nickname was "Fritz". I guess that sums up his caring nature and personality!

Freeman must be a very common name for teachers.
My Deputy Headmaster was called Freeman. We nicknamed him Blinky as he was extremely shortsighted. After he retired he was replaced by Mr Fyffe who was obviously nicknamed Bananas.

I had a history teacher called Mr Bland (William Norman Bland if I remember rightly). Bland by name, bland by nature.

apologies for bringing the tone of the Shed conversation even lower than when Jim's in the presiding chair, but my euphemism appears to have been misinterpreted by mischievous persons with malice aforethought...
 the bending over was of course, a reference to our dear old friend, Mr Whippy...
Kanes I Have Known
'Old Faithful'
Whippy, no ferrule, 'palm-tree' ends. Can be thrown for dogs to fetch in holidays. 
The 'Nonpliant' or 'Rigid'
With silencer attachment to drown victims cries. 
'Creaker' or split-seam
For use by 'hurt-me-more-than-it-hurts-you' kaners. 
The first weapon he can lay his hands on. 
The 'Caber'
Scotch-type for senior boys. 
'Specialist'
The hair-fine specialists kane for marksmen. Fitted with telescopic sights and range finder. |

We could get a good sit-com school together here:
Psycho Freeman (PE) Bananas Fyffe (Deputy Head) Mr Pratt (Deputy Head #2) Ms Ruff (PE) Ms callas (PE) Blinky Freeman (Deputy Head - ret.) Mr Bland (History) Face it - the Education Minister is Ed Balls (sadly, he was never a teacher) & we could install our very own Peter as Head Of English (and 'colouring in') It would be 'Please Sir' all over again... Vicky & Rachel could wear their school uniforms...

^ I should also add my old history teacher, Mr Shorthouse.
I once knew of a Miss Gotobed - sadly not a teacher.

We had a maths teacher who was rather fond of using the board compasses for caning purposes.
Although corporal punishment hadn't been outlawed (I'm not sure about capital punishment  ) it was very unusual, aside from the maths teacher I mentioned. Come to think of it, he was perhaps a bit too keen on it. Fortunately for him, the News of the World was more interested in vicars and scoutmasters in those days.Edited by Syzygy - January 13 2009 at 06:42 |
