that was excellent!!

mr hillman was still there in my days. did you ever wind him up by singing god save our queen in science...worked a treat!
mrs freshney and mr barlow were an item were they not...well shared a car to work!!!
what about mr coffee?
mrs dalloway was a bitch and ended up skiving for months with stress. ms williams was surely a lezza as she used to wear shirts and big ties!!!
miss day was a real bitch and my form tutor! and mr pearson was the biggest arse ever and it was hilarious watching him trying to explain sex education in our biology lesson...imagine that!! :nono:

I was on the Radio One Roadshow Bits and Pieces with Peter Powell at Eastbourne in the mid eighties.

I think I got 7 out of 10 and came second.

Used to hate it when Peter Powell came. Live, from the Wish Tower slopes in Eastbourne, its - - - -- - Gary Davies!!!!!

Ooooooohhh Gary Davies, on your radio!

Steve Wright was best - but DLT was good as well. I must be getting old as when DLT was the last of the old school to be shown the door by Radio 1 was the time I stopped listening.

Mrs Holden told us about the birds and the bees. Mr Coffee was a top dude. He's still around, saving the planet. Transport 2000 I believe. I think I had Miss Day (not in the biblical sense!) - was she Maths?

Hippy Hillman used to threaten to throw stools at us. He always said he was off to get Mr Ashton and then we would follow him. He would go to the bottom of the stairs, count to 10 and come back up again. By which time, we would all have hidden behind the benches.

We also had a ginger lady PE Teacher who used to take us to golf at Willingdon Golf Club in the old red minibus. Can't remember her name - just lots of curly ginger hair.

I wonder if Mr Pearson still has Ollie and Morri - his Austin and Morris cars that looked 30 years old when I went to school. I think Miss Williams must have dined on carpets but it's strange that she took needlework - quite a feminine subject.

I was on a programme called Pebble Mill just after I was born.

They were doing a bit on the hospital I was in and as I was the smallest baby they put me on. I was in the bath and I had no clothes on. In fact, I was naked.

I was also on Soccer AM.

Ooooh! Ooooh! This is better than working! Pebble Mill was cool. Donny McLeod, Alan Titchmarsh et al. I'm still haunted by Paul Shane's pub singer crooning on one show. I always watched it at my nan's during school lunch hour as she lived close to the school. It was always followed by Choc-a-block, Pigeon Street or Bagpuss. Or Mr Benn or Fingerbobs. :clap2: :clap2:

I should do but can't. I only just saw the end of one the other day on some kids channel as I was flicking through. Amazing how everyone in the street was always outside - never in their house.

When Robbo scored his second goal against Man City in the 1983 F A Cup 4th round at the Beautiful Goldstone he ran straight over to where me and my mate Karl where standing beneath the lego stand, we were on MOTD but as John Bond got the old tin tack straight after the game, we were on just about every news and sport programme for days, two geeky schoolboys jumping about in Parkas ...................... sadly Karl died in 1997:(
