It's good doing it on a Saturday night. I'm sure ours was on a Thursday night, and we were all due in on the Friday morning. Somewhat dampened the occasion...

I think Greenfield or Woodham were having one on Thursday at Redworth as I saw a bright pink Hummer limo in School Aycliffe.

Park View's is always a Friday night - I believe The Hermitage do their's on a Saturday.

Where do people even have them nowadays? Ours was at the George Washington. Back in 2002 like...

Park View North Lodge site is for Years 7 & 8, although we do have discos held in the hall.

Park View Church Chare site houses the Sixth Form, GCSE years and Year 9, and although we have a massive theatre, our gym takes up about a quarter of the actual school building, so with all the spotlights out and the DJ dragged in there's always a pretty good show.

Ours was at George Washington - very few went, no doubt influenced by the dry bar.
Several off licences and some disused railway lines saw the benefit instead!

Is that the Fencehouses Branch of the Disused Railway Appreciation Society

When did schools start holding proms, we never had one when I left school, unless we did and somebody obviously failed to tell me about it, which in my case is unsurprising as my head of year and deputy head hated me and tried for months to get me to transfer to a different school 😀

Also is the Proms like the American Ones with a Prom Queen and shit

Hahaha, no.
I hadn't been acquainted with Fencehouses at that point.

No idea when they started.
Ours certainly wasn't the first year group within our school to have one though.

Nope none of that nonsense. Although I dread to think about some of the goings on at our proms. :s

Park View have a Prom Queen for each tutor group (each year group is divided into 8 tutor groups, for example in Year 8 there are 8.1---8.8, and we are divided into 2 systems, Park and View, 8.1---8.4 being Park and 8.5---8.8 being View)

Who the hell came up with a system like that? Talk about over complicating a simple matter of getting everyone to a prom.

I probably wouldn't have given a toss if we had of had one, at that time I probably had less than 5 friends in the world...

I just remembered I embarrassed my head of year on my last day, A Newcastle Falcons player came to present our Record of Achievement, while I can't remember exactly, I think it was a young Jonny Wilkinson, though most tell me different...

Anyway it was my birthday and as I went to collect my Record, the head of year said "It's birthday today, happy birthday son" he held his hand out to shake mine and at the last second pulled my arm away and said "Don't think so, hypocrite" he had done everything he could to get the school to boot me, I was not prepared to shake the hand of a man who hated me...He was not amused as I did it in front of close to 500 people...If looks could kill I would have died on the spot.

Don't ask me - but when it's part of your day to day life you gradually just understand it.

I've tried many a time to talk to people who seem to have a bit of a 'dog in the fight' in regards to that type of thing, but then again I'm a couple of years off that yet

It would be so much easier to have 1 for Park and 1 for View - instead of turning it into a bloody pageant!

My schools year groups were split to 8 and they used the word EQUALIST, each year group had the same letter for tutor groups, so for example if you started Year 7 in 7A more often than not, you would be in that half of the year till you left

I was told a story by one of the older kids (a Sixth Former) and apparently, about 10 years ago, the school had just installed microphones etc.

Anyway, it was an awards evening, and as the head of year presented some special award to a kid who well, apparently was rather troubled, she picked it up and walked off without a thank you.

The microphones were attached to the wall in a socket and were on ready for use, and instead of a 'thank you', guess what she murmured

All of the speakers carried the sound around the entire building.

No idea if it's true or not, but anything can happen at Park View. Don't get me wrong it's a great school that offers opportunities to those who want them, but I can honestly imagine something like that happening

I am guessing something along the lines of Fuck Off, Fuck You, Get Fucked or something not so strong like Wanker/Tosser

I only typed into Google Images 'Old Gregg's' and look what I got!

I spent a good five minutes having some form of brain seizure before I finally decided Fozz was the guy to call upon

So would I and I certainly would not tell anybody if I burnt my junk...

So I did a search online for funny tabloid headlines and found a few...












Other headlines that made me laugh are

Freddie Star ate my hamster
Elton John removes dogs voice box
Super Caley Go Ballistic, Celtic are Atrocious
Wee Jimmy Krankie had sex with Panto horse (Which I find hilarious because I know a lady who looks like Jimmy Krankie)

Here's a few - all from The Sport - that have grabbed my attention over the years.





...and what are the odds?

I wonder if the bomber vanished when Lord Lucan And Elvis happened to stumble across it while hiding out with Adolf Hitler and there Pet Horse Shergar...

What I can say about the Daily Sport, it is full of shite, but they don't half come up with good shite, lol

What do you mean?

There's pictures and everything

The sub-headlines are pretty good too: 'horror hubby turns wife into coffee table'? I wonder if that is meant literally (in the sense that the husband is some sort of magician) or figuratively?

Just got back home now. Prom was at the Copthorne Hotel on the Quayside. Very nice place like. Was very funny seeing some of the teachers getting absolutely mortal.
