Seems I completely got my years wrong. Originally I lived in an area which had middle schools, then we moved to an area that had just junior and senior. I’m actually 1989 (I think).

Gosh everyone’s bailing on me. It’s like school, all over again!

How often did they tell you to Move Your Feet?

Lol it was like 2002 then

I fucked that up as well. Sorry! We had middle schools in Oxford then, so I started year 5 in 1990, not year 7.

  • My school was a comprehensive
  • My school was a secondary modern
  • My school was a private school
  • My school was a grammar school
  • My school was a montessori or other such alternative
  • I did not go to school
  • I don’t know what type of school I went to

Enjoying watching 1990 crew crumble by the minute

Just a plain old secondary school

I think the difference is, if your area is a grammar area, it had grammars and secondary moderns. If it wasn’t, you went to a comprehensive. Or something

We’re getting old and losing our minds.

Whoops

MySpace and Bebo both dying has meant we’ve lost a lot of my teenage songwriting classics.

I started secondary school in 95 but was a year ahead of where I should have been because I was awesome/a massive fucking nerd. I like that I remember this not from actually just knowing, but that I remember that my username on the computers there started with 95.

also the only thing I represented my school in was maths, again because I was awesome/a massive fucking nerd.

My high school started in year 8 in 2000 so i was still in middle school in year 7, 1999

happy to see 2000 crew has shot to the top. good team coming together.

played so so much music in both secondary school and 6th form

was in a band called the racing snakes, we were named after the dildo you could buy in the men’s toilets of the railway inn, winchester

was also in a band with former DiSer Tom Whyman, to help me learn the tunes he gave me a copy of the CD which featured possibly my favourite bit of onstage chat ever

“this next song’s about the English Flag, it’s called… English Flag”

also played in the county brass band, we won the national championships :sunglasses:

I grew up in Somerset. Lived in Yeovil but a lot of my friends were from surrounding villages so drank in pubs at quite a young age.

I do remember a few times drinking in the same pub as a group of teachers and having that realisation that they’re just regular folk too.
