double dare was a class programme. they don't make them like that anymore!!! i always thought peter simon was cute...you can now catch him on bid up tv!!! hooray!!

He he.

My mate was on a quiz show on Nickleodeon once and they were through to the last round. When asked a question the opposition didn't know the answer but someone from their school shouted it out from the crowd so they had to stop filming and explain the rules again. To my mates disgust, when they started fliming again the opposition were asked the same question and, surprise surprise, got it right! The camera then pans over to my mate shaking his head looking well pissed off.

I went to Hampden Park! Left in 1987 though so probably before you. I was captain of our winning Top of The Form house team but wasn't selected for the School Team which went on Radio (Radio Brighton I think). Made up for it by winning Channel 5's 100% 3 times in the late 90's though.

Friston - won the football competition every year I was there. I score 12 goals in 4 games once (Poaching from Tobi Hutchinson and Wayne Agg). Tobi scored less than me and went on to play County League and still does I believe. I went over 10 years before playing again. (Where did it all go wrong? )

I never got on Hartbeat (or Take Hart as it was in my day) but used to play a game with my sister as to whose age whould come up most. Bit of a cad old Tony - always surrounded himself with lots of young girl art students in his latter TV days. Whatever happened to Mr Bennett?

There were some wonderful teachers at Hampden Park. The best guy was my Head of House - John Thomas! (Not kidding). There ws Mr Bodie the RE teacher who calimed to have had tea with Jesus and ridden an astral escalator and had Angel Cakes. He left to become a vicar! Hippy Hillman, the biology teacher. Miss Lynn, the music teacher who was called 'Wooden tit' when my mum went there and still was when I was there. Barry Cobill, the world's smallest PE Teacher. Mr Pearson, the science teacher who hated me and resented my Chemistry O Level pass.

Mrs Freshney - the French teacher. All I remember was coming up with a compilation of her best bits. The past partciple of the pluperfect, indirect auxillery tense. I didn't (and still don't) know what these are in English - how the hell was I supposed to understand them in French?

Mr Allen - always reminded me of Mr Withit from the Spectrum and C64 game Skooldaze. Miss Rann and Miss Williams who always had rumours surrounding their friendship. Mr Barlow, who knew my dad and kept mentioning him in class, much to my embarrassment. Mrs Dalloway - the dragon cooking teacher. Mr Ponsonby who looked like Willy Wonka in his plum jacket. Miss Rannie - the student teacher we sent to a nervous breakdown. Mrs Braznell the Art Teacher. Mr McMath - who took maths! And Mr Clements, the headmaster.

Happy days!

(Everyone else who didn't go to Hampden Park bored yet? )

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.
