Some of the naughtiest things I ever done at school
At Chorister School I once took The Sun in, and at the top of my voice said 'I would not mind a piece of that' on Page 3, my teacher chose that moment to walk in, I was only 10/11
For a laugh when I was 11/12 I phoned my mates mother and told her what I wanted to do to her, my mate was stood right behind me egging me on...
One day I wanted a bit of attention, so I decided to write about 50 fake suicide notes and left them around for people to find...I got the attention alright, it was not so good having to stand up in front of the whole school [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY]
I also learnt a lesson in trust, when Tony Blair was going through the process of becoming labour party leader in 1994, as Blair was educated at Choristers, naturally photographers were sniffing round now and again, this photographer called me and a couple of lads over and if we wanted our photo taken for the newspaper, naturally we all agreed and were photo'd running up the school drive, the headmaster went absolutely nuts with the photographer, the paper and us...
The photographer got it in the neck asking if it was ok to wander up to a school and take photos without permission, his boss got it in the neck as he should have had the decency to phone the school and ask about it, we got it in the neck for being too trusting, he told us he was from a paper and we believed him and I said to the head 'dont you think your making a mountain out of a molehill' which got him even madder when he said 'MOUNTAIN OUT OF A MOLEHILL...WE'D HAVE A PROBLEM THE SIZE OF RUDDY MOUNT EVEREST IF ANYTHING HAD HAPPENED'
Of course thinking about it now, I completely understand his concerns now, if that had happened today, there would have been merry hell asking random kids to have there photo taken
