the union flag

My memories of a similar classroom scene. I used to put a pin in the welt of my shoe. Stretch my leg out and jab It in the buttock of a chum 2 desks down in the opposite aisle. He used to jump up with a shout and this young female teacher we had used to ask him what was wrong. And you know he would never snitch on me, that’s what I call the loyalty of the creed. He. Even got. The stick at times for it but always kept mum about the cause. The same bloke is living here in Sydney , As came out here after leaving School with his family have been in communication a few years ago, but never face to face, so don’t know what his reaction today would be. Don’t think I”ll try it. Cheers JS.....

JS he never snitched on you as he knew the Cane was a better bet than a real caning from you after School behind the Bicycle Sheds . LOL
cHEERS

He was a pal Vernon his sister was a friend of my sister as well . Years ago just after the shah of Persia was deposed, I was being transferred from a tanker up the Gulf to another one in Oz. After a week getting out of Tehran landed in Sydney airport to change flights for Newcastle nsw. I had lost track of the change of time zones , and called up his sister on the phone , as my sister had giving me her phone number. So blithely at 5 in the morning rang her up.a bloke answered and I asked to speak to Mary. This gruff agitated male voice said what do you want to speak to Mary for. I spotted a clock in the vestibule and saw the time and my mistake so quickly put the phone down. I may of been the cause of a matrimonial hiccup. Another reason about not being inclined to meet her brother face to face. Cheers JS

You think that venturing into North Wales was scary, I only had to cycle from our village two miles to another one and they used to pelt us with rocks, and my aunty lived there, independence was alive and well. I have forgotten the curse of the Dragon, so Cappy can sleep safe in his bed.

There was a movie some years back, 'The girl with the Drag on Tattoo'
Why she dragged it on is a mystery, may have been related to Mary with the 'leg', but certainly not from Wales.

Once asked what was the best thing to come out of Wales she said the freeway.

hi john sabourn
i did laugh out lound with that one, maybe because of the thought of the pc brigade, they would have us all locked away now, for not obeying their ten commandments, But unlike your well thought out use for a drawing pin, a bit like the assassin in the james bond movie a german dwarf type if i can remember, Alas though the kid sitting behind me once attacked me with a iron bar, ( left no lasting damage though ) and went on to be a murderer, red lead ted might know of him as he was living in seaforth at the time, everybody else in the class was as nutty as him, including the teacher whom was captured by the japs, and he hated them and boy did he used to say so.
thats why i always think of my old school with fond memories.

hi des
its nice to hear from someone whom is not looking through rose coloured glasses and especially anybody from a ethnic back ground whom takes offence at the very thought that their nation or people could ever be in the wrong.
but your observation of the next village is no more remarkable as a concept to me as it is true to you.
crossing the river to the wirral and then into north wales was bandit country to us as kids, not only did the welsh hate us but they would not even speak to us, and only spoke in welsh , but we knew what they where saying as sometimes its hard to disguise both when the spoken word is uttered and the look on their faces, but hey i bare no grudges as went across there and took our chances, and it was great to get out of the sh** hole we came from
