    Another one from a posh school methinks. You could compare 'war stories' with Gary (Stryder), who got beaten the most by the prefects, how you went on with the 'cream cracker challenge' (was that even a thing? I feel a bit nauseated just typing this)

    I don't think I could have coped with getting battered just for putting an apostrophe in t'wrong place
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
    Speakers: Zu Omen Def, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables

    T'other system:
    Echo Dot, Amptastic Mini One,Arcam A75 integrated, Celestion 5's, BK XLS-200 DF

    A/V:
    LG 55" OLED, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL Storm sub

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.

    The tutors...... wore gowns and mortar boards and were second in command to the 6th year prefects who had absolute power! Yearlings were treated to many “trials”, how many times your head could be flushed in the pan without crying being only one of many.

    Apostrophe’s in wrong place lead to being forced to smoke a whole cigarette behind the bike sheds.

    Ahh, those were the days.

    The Masters at my school also wore gowns, but the only time we got a beating was if we made a mistake in our Latin or Greek homework.

    I can’t remember my punishment when caught smashing up the desks, chairs etc and throwing them all out of an open window........in defence? the school was moving that day from an old Manor House into a purpose built brand new school.

    I reckon hydrogen powered cars is the way to go...

    I'd have an electric car tomorrow but I have no way of charging it... anyone without a garage or driveway simply cannot charge an electric car...

    If they can perfect how they extract hydrogen then that'd be a simple way of gettting zero emission cars on the road
