School memory

I remember one time at lunch when a few of us were messing around with a friends bag. He was quite a bit shorter than the rest of us so we threw the bag onto a high ledge. It was all done in humour and everyone was having a laugh including him. He then came up behind me and tickled me on both sides. I thought it was quite strange but I turned around and lumped him one (not hard luckily - we were just messing around)... it turned out not to be him at all, but the headmaster who had tickled me and who I had punched!

I apologised and nothing came of it as I suspect the headmaster would have got into more trouble than I would!
 
One memory sticks for me! First day at high school and some lad took a dinner plate with beans on it, had one side out over the table edge and then whacked it hard lol. The beans went up and hit the ceiling, any that stuck to the tiles stayed there pretty much till our final year! This was 1986, the dinner hall also doubled as a gym and performance stage so the celing was a good height. I guess the janitor couldnt be arsed to build an access tower or whatever they had at the time hence why the beans stayed put.

Pretty sad that one of my clearest memories is of that event.
 
School was full of many lols for me really.

Cans of irn bru above doors that then fall on people, volleyed a small bottle of irn bru down a corridor that took out one of those long tube lights, a younger guy slammed a fire door back on me which I stopped with my leg....through the fire glass.

A mate swung from one of the bars of the ceiling as it had a missing tile then quite a lot of the roof actually fell.

My cousin managed to have total control of the RM network as the admin would use default passwords. Many softwares borrowed and all our mates having unlimited disc space and more privelages than teachers later he was up in front of the head teacher!

Literally too many moments to list on here but I'd do it again in a heartbeat :)


At primary school we went on a trip for a week or weekend to Winmarley Hall(or something like that). It ended up being all us Scottish folk outside the English people halls shouting and singing songs. The angled roof was covered in black rubber marks as we were doing backflips between two of the bunkbeds...
 
Oh yes, hanging out of the fire escape in the roof of the school coach when moving.

Tying several seatbelts together on the school coach and getting banned for two weeks.

Stealing about 10 cans of coke out of the refreshment area of a school coach.
 
Haha, just recalled a time when sitting in the sixth form common room playing the board game Risk. Three guys come running in the main enytrance with fire extinguishers blazing. Cue the whole room emptying out of the emergency exit stairwell extremely rapidly :D
 
You remember those little glass stink bombs?

well erm.... I sorta trod on one in the assembly hall :D

Rotten eggs ahoy :o
 
I managed to find the executable for the remote access client used by the school. We only had PCs within two rooms and teachers had to use them. When I could see that they were distracted I would mess about with their word document. Purposely misspell words then add them to the dictionary, stupid stuff like that. Hours of entertainment.
 
Just remembered an old IT memory from school. It must have been around 1986 and we had a bunch of Commodore Pet's on a very basic network. By printing CHR$(7) you could make a bell sound. I managed to send the commands remotely through the network and start playing a song on the computers around the room. The teacher got a bit cheesed off (probably because I'd managed to work out how to do it and he didn't know).

And yes he had a beard. Most maths and computing teachers did back then.

EDIT: Wow, that memory and the CHR$(7) command has been lodged at the back of my memory for years and this has been the first time it has surfaced.
 
Putting a cup of blue pop on top of a door, then the head master (with a white shirt) walking through it.

D'oh.
 
music exam

me and my mate had few months to come up with composition but as usual dg had thought lets look at girls and do nothing else :p

big day arrives my mate says weere screwed ! we havent got squat , what we going to do :D

we both have to play the piece to show we both know it

along comes our teacher okay then whats your piece called and can you play it please :eek: so i think go baby and just play some random bs which actually turns out well :p

but.... then my mate has to follow and replay my magical master piece :D

didnt go down well and he actually had to go in on every break for months to practice :p
 
Sitting in the gym doing a GCSE exam. It was a hot day so one of the teachers had opened the doors to let some air in. After about 20 mins I hear some tapping moving around the gym. I look around and a stray Labrador had wondered in and was sniffing at everyone. How the teachers didn't notice for 5 mins I'll never know

Another time we were out on the field playing softball. That game was clearly named for irony as the ball was about as hard as a rock. Anyway someone hit the ball and sent it flying straight in the direction of the teacher who was looking in the opposite direction. Everyone shouted him to warn him of the hard ball that was about to hit him when he turned and whack! It hit him right between the legs. He just fell to the ground and stayed there for about 10 mins
 
Year 6: Putting screensaver passwords on PC's with Win 3.11 that displayed scrolling marquees saying something stupid. They had to call in a technician to fix it..
Years 9-11: Playing Emulators in ICT, renamed the ROM's to .doc to hide from the admin :D Got to love stupid admins.

too many to note, but a few off the top of my head that I did with my mates:

setting fire to and breaking the toilet

smashing the fire alarm and school being evacuated

pouring curry sauce into the science teachers fishtank resulting in her evacuating the fish

hotboxing a cupboard

breaking into a staffroom through a window and taking alcohol from a fridge

winding the library ladies up and making them chase us around the book cases

mashing up potatoes intended for a science experiment and tipping them into some lads bag

setting fire to a pillow size bag of cotton wool during a science lesson, resulting in the teacher panicking and rushing for a bucket of sand

attaching electro magnets to a metal stool, turning them up past 'safe' levels, and the stool smoking

tying a kid to a netball post during break and leaving him there for an hour after everyone had gone inside


...yeh, i was naughty but it was seriously fun :D

when I was at school the teachers used to beat the pupils up. now its the other way round.

ahh the joys of Towneley High school in the early 80's.
 
Year 6 we went on a little weekend trip to some activity place, don't remember the name.

One of the activities was to follow some rope with a partner whilst blind folded or something. Anyways, I touched the girl in fronts bum 'accidentally', she turned around and slapped hard as she could and hit my mate not me. I laughed so much, doesn't seem that funny now but when you were 10/11. Good times :).

Secondary school was full of pranks, you always had that Go-to guy who would do anything just for the fun of it. We would get him to stand up in the middle of assemblies and say the stupidest things. Also whenever someone went out to go to the toilet.

Empty School bag -> Turn inside out -> Fill bag -> Zip it up

simple but awesome.
