Monster Zero Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Ok, we played the Metallica cover version of Anti Nowhere leagues "So What", and Metallica's cover version of the Misfits' 'Last Caress'. You pedant.I was feeling anal about this as well. I quite like Metallica these days but I'm not really keen on their cover versions....

Kieran_imray Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Alas, poor Eric...The man was/presumably still is a fucking legend. Things done to him by my class include but are not limited to: putting a condom on his door handle, pelting him in the head with rubbers/coppers, pretending to go to sleep when he left to get his form book, hiding under the inexplicably high desks in the Tech Studies room when he left to get his form book, turning all the lights off and shutting the blinds, putting porn on his desk and one guy telling him the exam board could suck his dick. Nothing much truly rediculous happened in my time at Oldie, though I have heard rumours that on one 6th year muck up day (conveniently before I started) that live farm animals were released into the canteen. Can anyone on here confirm that? I've always thought it smelt strongly of bullshit. Any Mr Milton stories would also be welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoid Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 About the most 'insane' Westhill ever got was threatening to lock 1st years in the big lockers when they first got installed. Oh, and Recomio. Definitely not an insane school, though tormenting Rambo with subtle mockery was always great fun.But really, all the fun stuff in Westhill happened outside of school.Ahh, Mr Recomio, what a strange, strange man he is.For once we agree, the fun was to be had out of school....

calum Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Westhill Academy wasn't that bad. The spoiled little shits were irritating, but overall it was a non event really.Everyone knows the spoilt little shits were all Kingswells Gordon's rejects anyway About the most 'insane' Westhill ever got was threatening to lock 1st years in the big lockers when they first got installed. Oh, and Recomio. Definitely not an insane school, though tormenting Rambo with subtle mockery was always great fun.But really, all the fun stuff in Westhill happened outside of school.You're a fair few years older than me, right? It went downhill. Not "insane", just nae very enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 You're a fair few years older than me, right? It went downhill. Not "insane", just nae very enjoyable.Yep, in my time (and paranoid's, I'd guess!), the school was fine - but you could start to see the place becoming full of tossers with...let's see, the 1st years of 1999 was where it started to go really wrong - they were absolutely humourless dicks who spent the whole time thinking they were hard because they wore their hats backwards and because they smoked like big tough guys. If the name Eric Jack means anything to you, I'd blame that cunt for most of it. But most of them were just utter spoilt arseholes.Actually, no, I know what the most insane thing was. Safeway Dave. I still don't know why to this day that they put him on the front door when he got the piss absolutely ripped out of him on a daily basis by practically everyone :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoid Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Yeah, '95 - 2001 was when I was there.Safeway Dave, what a "schpechial" soul he was. He tried to make me queue with the little mutants when I was in 5th and 6th year. Chased me through the shop, right to the tills, because I walked past him into the shop.

Ross has described P.E and it sounds like a total blood bath, then again, I don't really know what the guys in my year got up to in P.E, but the girls were definitely, definitely very sheltered.

calum Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 I bet he was the one selling pot at break too. Next to all of his many atrocities, that would have to go down as mere hijinks. Or possibly tomfoolery.The best weed-related incident at school was when a kid had some stolen by a classmate, so put his hand up and demanded that the teacher tell the other lad to give him his drugs back. That boy was a real winner, needless to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloud Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I have a vague memory of this, but can't remember which one. Wasn't Mrs. Findlayson was it?She was fucking awful, I remeber her leaving the room once to talk to someone, then the door opening. Of course, someone threw a rubber at the door, only to plant Comrade Innes (so named because of his ridiculously communist assemblies) right in the head.She had absolutely no control though, and was diabolical at French - I remeber one class, she insisted that Chamonix was pronounced 'cham-on-NIX' (pronouncing the x as in English). Class record for being thrown out stood at 8 seconds, which was a hell of an achivement. I think it was almost obligatory for someone to be thrown out during every class with her, but her classes were bloody awful. I got a 3 in the end, no thanks to her.Actually, when you think about it, the teachers in Westhill were clearly more insane than the schoolkids.

The kids absolutely destroyed that poor woman. She used to run off into her cupboard for a greet when things got out of hand, which was basically every lesson.She also strongly resembled a turkey.

Jeanette Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Our yearbook when we were in 6th year got banned as we were selling it... Apparently it was just too close to the bone. Yes - there was lots of innuendo and some half naked 6th years in it, but it was all in the name of humour.Needless to say it's become quite memorable, at least for us and the best bit... the school had to fork out the rest of the bill to the publisher because we were relying to sales to pay it!!
