The perils of children & goldfish!!

twasn't always thus. My yoot in West London was anything but exotic. The most exotic thing in Chiswick is the park around Chiswick House and that was 'apparently' the regular haunt of a flasher ('the Green Man') never seen but much speculated about by us kiddies from 1979-85.

Nowadays I live on a New Cross estate with a Janet Street-Porter dead ringer. Now that is exotic

ooh! tasty :lol:

on the subject of flashers, I remember a couple of incidents when I was younger, there would be reports of one in the area, we would get a note from school warning us not to go home alone, go in groups or preferably get picked up by parents. The excitement around school and the rumours circulating with everyone claiming

"i've seen him"

Great days :lol:

When I was a nipper, there was a guy who would ride around the town in a shirt, jacket & tie but no trousers.

Rumours that had circulated for many years he was allergic to material on his legs were quashed when he was sent away for sexual assault on a minor....:eek:


It was funny as fcuk to see a guy in half a suit getting constant verbal abuse from schookids as he cycled past.

Quite creepy though...

:lol: & :eek: at the same time.

Our flasher was reputed to sit on a park bench which was on the route to and from school for most of us wearing nought but a tribly strumming his willy like a guitar. neither myself or anyone I know actually witnessed it, it was always a a freinds brother or friend of a friend who saw him. :lol:

continuing the theme of school hysteria, when I was in secondary school, about 13, a group of travellers plotted up on some wasteland at the far end of then playing fields. when we did cross country in pe we would run right by where they were. The story was that during the 5th year girls cross country lesson one morning, one of the back markers got picked off by a couple of them and was molested. No one could say who she was, but it "definately happened". Now to this day I dont know if it was true, but by lunchtime, I would say half the male population of the school from 3rd yr up was tooled up and heading over there! there was a bit of a stand off and everyone was eventually dispersed. After that we were banned from going outside at lunchtimes, but then every evening for the next fornight there would be gangs going over there scrapping with them and their kids. School would be rife next morning with greatly exaggerated tales of heroism of older pupils, 10 against one etc until they eventually moved on. was someone actually attacked in the first place? to this day I have no idea.
 
Mr Perkins at my school >> 100% nonce

I alluded to this on the official school page on farcebook last year and within days received a stern email back from the school coolly asking me to "reconsider" what I had written. Fearing they might pit Peter Carter-Ruck's team of libel specialists against lil ol me, I backed down and deleted wall comments. He was still a nonce though (Mr Perkins not Mr Carter-Ruck)
 
We need a school stories / rumours / legends thread...

there were no legends at my school, just 850 c**ts, all congregated in the same place, every Mon-Fri for SEVEN years.
 
I was in Primary 3 I think when a girl in my class told the teacher that she had seen a man walking through the field on the other side of the school fence with a gun. Crying and wailing that he had pointed it at her:eek:

Cue 30 petrified kids and calls for Mr Gilles the headmaster to find and punish whoever this was - obviously he was just as good as police;)

The teacher quizzed her, as did we at interval but she maintained it was true and was traumatised. By the afternoon the headmaster came down and begun a heavy talk about how they were dealing with it and how we should be careful, our parents would be informed etc etc, until the hysterics began again, the girl admitted it was all a lie and fled from class:lol:

She never seemed to get true friendships back after that and I think was probably relieved when she was taken out 6 months later and sent to private school:lol:
 
Stole a lamb once on a school field trip.

Hid it under my jumper and decided I was going to rear it with a friend in her back garden.

We convinced ourselves her mum would've been into it (and she possibly would bless her - I loved that woman!)

...the bubble burst when the lamb started baa-ing (after the bus had set off I might add) while the register was being taken.

They turned the bus around, I had to apologise to the farmer for stealing his lamb and my punishment was to stand in front of the staff room every lunch time for two weeks. :cry:

Still haven't got my lamb. :lol:
 
...and I acknowledge that there's a very tenuous link between paedophiles, gunmen, goldfish and lambs so this is officially me on one of my tangents once again! :lol:

tea spitting moment, then the tale got better and better ;):lol: (or should that be tail :oops:)
 
stealing a sheep is a trully heinous thing to do :x

there's medieval penalties for that which have never been repealed.

technically, I think Robder could still be executed under English Law.

R. I. P. Gwen :(

She finally did her last backflip sometime last night between my boy going to bed and me going to turn his light out at 11pm!

I had to carry the tank downstairs last night and remove the fish. This morning when he woke, Shelley told him I had taken gewn back to the pet shop because she had been poorly in the night and the shop had the proper medicine to make her better!

Complained to the petshop who said they will replace her free of charge once we establish that Ben is going to be ok!
