I used to get picked on slot as a kid so to circumvent the abuse I made my self useful and started my own little business.

I used to sell N64 emulators for £10 with a £2 installation fee after that game ROMs would cost 50p each. I also sold cigarettes for 50p each, a ten pack of sovereign would cost £2 so I'd double my money. Used to steal porn mags and donuts to sell as well. The teachers always tried to bust me but I'd rent someones locker for a month always changing where my stash was. I'd like to say that I am an upstanding member of society now though!

Previously the abuse I received was harsh though resulting in me being hospitalised with serious injuries three times had my house bricked lots. It drove me down a dark path that took a while to recover from mentally but amusingly that path I was sent down led me to some of the people I hold most dear in this world. Through great adversity greatness is made

My secondary school was rough as..

Only 1 T.V, and it was kept behind a cage.

We had an openly perverted gym teacher and his office stank (as did he) of Whiskey, with walls covered in page 3 girls. We called him Manny McHardon. Complaints about him were never dealt with..

We had fights almost daily, many using weapons, and one guy in particular wore a long coat that when spread open fully had displays of some top weapons for either sale or lease.

We had an icecream van that came onto school grounds at break and lunch times, to sell all kinds, drink, drugs, fags.. Whatever.

We even had our very own resident glue sniffer that sat outside Home Economics every day and was never moved along. He was left there sniffing glue, day in, day out..

Did I get an education? Academic, yes, but in life? Without Doubt!

It is against the law now to draw with chalk on foot paths i ay shocking no wonder children don't want to go and play out side.

whilst on Barcelona we noticed murals painted on walls near to play grounds , seem the encourage the youths and others to do it.

I think it`s caused by too much Calcium in the dogs diet. Kids around here do chalk on pavement .,it`s nice to see them .

I look after my 2 grandsons, 6 and 4, twice a week, i let them run riot with chalk on my pathways in the back garden, they draw Hopscotch, usually a big NHS rainbow and the Planets!. I hate it when it rains and washes all that away.

Mr.Paperclip. I wish our worlds weren't so stationery. I think we'd fit hand in glove actually if we ever got together.

I would of course normally officially recognise this quality post with a "like" Yaris, but as I am a challenger to your crown, hard cheese!

It wasn't really white Dardii. You are under a misapprehension. You know you often see imperfections in road surfaces nowadays that have white paint sprayed over them to mark their location for future remedial action? Well, the "white" dog poo was a forerunner of this now common practise. Every Council in the land had a "Dog Poo Spraying Operative" whose job it was to similarly mark the locations of dog-poo for future bagging. But alas local government cutbacks in the 1980s put paid to these important roles. It was a sh** job anyway apparently.

I can`t remember all but i do know that the "chalk" we used to create a hopscotch plan wasn`t blackboard chalk.It was more like a pummice stone which might be mistaken for dog poo ?.

How apt for premium notepaper! I hope it's been minuted too. I used to take minutes of meetings but i was always puzzled why they took me hours!
