NoooâŚyou know how youâre like a loud nob with all your school pals but then itâs parents evening and youâre there with your mum and you walk past your mate and just react like that

Loved it, used to go take my sister to kumon at my school in the evening once a week and explore while she studied
Those open evenings in big school where they get the bunsen burners out

Once at a parents evening me and this lad, letâs call him Harry, went down a corridor we shouldnât have and got caught on camera and bollocked by the head of year the next day
What a fucking buzz that was

Yes!! Volunteered at one and did a demo which included electrocution with a lemon and demonstrating breathing with a breathing tube and cow lungs
Definitely not a buzz for me. Hated them.
Our school had sports hall that various local cricket teams used in the evening. My mateâs dad used to play for one, so weâd go along and train with them. One night in 1997 i was in our school as we finished and right up there in the sky above our school was Hale fucking Bopp. Best moment of my life

Some people in my year broke into a prefab and slept there overnight after our debs ball (dunno what the UK equivalent is, itâs like prom). They claimed they banged and smoked weed in there too so we all knew how 
they were. Got expelled with two months of final year left but I think in name only and they still did the exams.
Something about early Hanson lyrics needing work.

Meeting your friends parents at the school for the first time and getting that âoh, so THIS is that weird kidâ look while they talked to your parents.
Used to have Xmas fairs at school when I was a kid. Seemed really exciting at the time but was really just a load of trestle tables with cakes and bric-a-brac on them.
I remember one of my friends bought the bottom bit off a Ghostbusters Fire Station for 50p and was bragging about it at school the next day

Used to smoke on the roof during school plays. Was âhelpingâ with sound and lighting.
Smokings not cool kids, climbing roofs absolutely is.
My Dad once bumped into someone who went to school with my uncle at my parents evening once, he hadnât seen them in probably 25 years at that point. That had a weird atmosphere.

Always got roped into helping out in science on open evenings. It was either setting fire to different things in the chemistry lab to show off different coloured flames or fucking about with a miniature steam engine for physics. Great fun.
At parentsâ evening in like year 9 I was walking solemnly along with my furious parents when I heard somebody yell my name, turn round and the girl I really fancied came sauntering down the corridor going âoreet dude?â, punched me gamely on the arm and carried on walking. On her own, donât know where her parents were or what she was up to. Made me feel completely mortified. I think my sheepishness really lightened the mood with my parents.
My dad brought this up to Her Indoors once as evidence that Iâve always have a thing for girls who seem like they could batter me. Only time Iâve ever felt he remotely understood me.
