Just him and his hellion crew larking about, no doubt, so naturally, as an honest, caring father I requested video evidence. You know, to properly gauge the facts of the incident. They said there wasn't any.
What's the point of Youtube and iPhones and Instagram and whatnot if they're all going miss important things like this :-(

I suppose it would have been quite a chilly sort of lake. Even so, there's no need to send him home, surely? I and a chum once fell into the fishpond in the quad whilst wrestling. We just got hauled before the beak, given a savage böllocking, a Saturday morning detention and were left to drip dry for the rest of the day.

We had a pond but wasn't allowed to go near it.
And this is in the middle of London.

Everyone's Milchbubis nowadays, I'm afraid.
Still, they break up today so the two or three members of staff charged with escorting him to the train were no doubt anxious to get to the pub and have done with it. Under the circs, any old excuse would do, I guess.

I ran around most of them at a fúcking cross country event the once. You cannot begin to guess how fúcking grim that was.

Naked wresting I assume, as a prelude to full on sodomy. It was that type of school wasn't it, we have established this before.

I see that and raise you a swimming pool, two sports halls, squash courts, 4 fives courts, an all-weather hockey pitch, tennis courts, six cricket pitches (converted to however many rugger pitches in winter) including one that is used for county matches - all of course with a full-time groundstaff.
One took it for granted at the time, but looking back it does seem faintly ridicules.
They have a zoo there now. It was opened by the Queen. :hehe:

Ours was run by Derren Brown's dad, who as far as I can tell wore swimming trunks all year round. Don't think I ever saw him in trousers.

I'm sure he must have worn trousers occasionally, but I have no memory of him other than in speedos. He was a burly, hairy sort of chap. Smoked cigars pretty much constantly and had a gold chain round his neck. It was very much the 1980s :hehe:

all this school sport going on, poisoning our youngsters during their most important formative years.
For example, the only sport German kids seem to do at school is some sort of calisthenics. Genius really.

All my school had was a sense of foreboding and undercurrent of impending violence.

Although he did assure me my son wouldn't get 'bummed', as such. :-|

One of them gave a talk at this school recently, as it happens. Not his school precisely, a neighbouring one and his lot just edged their way in.
Apparently the chap and/or the group hails from those parts.
