ned Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 I liked rounders, i did the whole trick of hitting someone in the face with a swing of the bat and my friend did the whole trick of getting the bat flung into his face from an over enthusiastic runner! Rounders was great! Bean bags for bases People say school was the best days of your lives and i always laughed but i'd love to go back and have a game of rounders I'm not sure how the Giants are doing in their division, Ned, but they play the 'Skins tomorrow night so that should be a good game to watch! Probably only see the highlights during the week
ned Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 It's basically baseball using a miniature cricket bat and a tennis ball
Rawr Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 I remember those bean bags! In P.E sometimes in primary school, everyone would rush in and whatever you grabbed from the storage room, you were left with for the lesson. Guess who ended up with the beanbag numerous times? Oh the fun!
ned Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Yep, and there was the fastest kid in your class with the only flippin basketball
Rawr Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 The amount of times i turned around to see a giant orange basketball come flying up to meet my face was terrible!
ned Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Bean bags were easier to steal than basketballs though, not that i ever did
Rawr Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 I'm kinda annoyed i didn't steal any bean bags now.
ned Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 You didn't do it? You must be in the minority. "What is this?" "Nothing mum, just something i bought with my pocket money" "Why has it got Ebrington written on it in permanent marker?" "That's it's name. duh"
Rawr Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 I should have stole loads of stuff because my high school was bulldozed the year i left it was so terrible
ned Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Lucky, most kids get to burn their tie, you got to watch your school being bulldozed. Someone stole all the the glass from the school greenhouse when i was in third year, he was an instant legend. David Robson, i will never forget that
Rawr Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Stole all the glass? How'd he manage that There was this one guy in my school, he'd go into the back of the canteen and steal us all a can haha. He also stole
ned Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 I don't know how the hell he done it but i will never forget the assembly where the headmaster told us about theft and then after school old Davy took us to the shed in what used to be a mechanics behind the school and there was dozens of panes of glass Serious legend.
Rawr Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 No no, from HIS mum's purse We didn't even know until a teacher came two days later and asked us whether we knew anything about him having any strange money on him haha. And LOL hording glass, that's a great idea!
ned Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 I should get in touch with him and go and look in that shed to see if the glass is still there The shed is still there, i pass it on my way to work
Rawr Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 I wonder if he made a greenhouse from it or something productive? I don't know how this relates to watching anything, i am watching memories of high school randomness in my head right now
ned Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Yeah, as much as i hated it, school rocked. Nothing will ever beat the day i told one of my teachers to ''go hmmm himself" 3 weeks detention and a note home to my ma but well worth it, that man was a bully
Rawr Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Haha! Well this absolutely stuck up, arrogant and bullying art teacher stood over a little jerk in the school front car park, who'd just been beat up himself for once and was moaning, and he goes 'Serves you right you little ****!!' and walks off LOL
Rawr Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 School holidays? I remember in primary school (which was actually a really good school) we went to... Scarborough!! And then my only holiday in high school was to Calais in France, what a dump we stayed in All the other kids in other schools got to go to Paris or Rome, or the rich kids to California and Iceland, i got Scarborough and Calais in youth hostels!
ned Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 I was "lucky" enough that i got to go to Guernsey every summer for 8 years with a weekend in France ,which involved staying at a hotel near the docks so we didn't miss the boat back.
Rawr Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 I love the convenience present in school holidays
