Loved PE when we played football, rounders or hockey.

Despised PE and would do a little cry sometimes if it was rugby, bleep tests, cross country or pretty much anything else

Luckily it was football most weeks.

(His surname was actually just Oakes but his name was Mike so people used to call him Moakesy)

I got one after school detention. it was for not telling a cover teacher in the room next door that some kids in our room were throwing paper around, while they were unsupervised. I was busy trying to work out how to play Karma Police on the piano with some friends. I was pretty unhappy with this decision, but did spend it trying to work out how to play Karma police on the guitar.

(bit of a nerdy poll but heard way too many people sneer at how easy GCSEs were. found them absolutely awful - learning 11 subjects in no depth at all is really difficult, especially if a bunch of the compulsory subjects are totally impossible to you - whereas A-level lets you do just the subjects you want to, and learn in more depth)

I had to organise ours because I was head boy. Was a pain in the arse. Held it at Barons in Swansea, the place where they piss on the dancefloor in Twin Town.

we did do a term of Spanish and had an option to do Japanese at lunch time / after school (in hindsight i would have liked to have done this, but playing football vs doing work when you’re like 13 is an easy choice), but French otherwise.

My worst and/or stupidest punishments were the result of the following:

  1. Gave the people’s elbow to Eddie during his reign as 24/7 champ (this rule was that he could be pinned at any time of any day and he would no longer be champ, as such he was regularly attacked when walking to and from lessons etc) and broke his rib two days before his family was due to move countries, this delayed that move.

  2. Tom said “it smells like bear shit” during a meditation session in which we were told to sit with our eyes closed and breathe and were guided on a walk through a forest and into a cave. The (justified) laughter resulted in us being kept behind after school and we all missed our bus and had to be driven home by the teacher who then had to explain to my incredulous Father why he was trying to do meditation with a class of year 8s

  3. Me and Dan disparaged Prince Charles in some way during a lesson, as a result the teacher in question split us into the separate halves of our year group so we were no longer in any lessons together for the rest of our schooling.

my grades had started to drop by the time I did A-Levels, primarily from too much fun, but also from GSCEs being an absolute piece of piss for the most part.

Enjoyed the IB and everything about 6th form more than GCSEs
