I just logged on for the first time this year. God you lot are getting boring, all these messages are boring the g***ds off me! (Prize for the first one to figure out the blanks). What happened to all that Quantock spirit, where are the stories of daring deeds and Quantock folklore? Even Laurie is beginning to sounds distinctly pedestrian these days. From now on all messages should include at least one of the following topics: - Serious drunkeness - Apple pied beds - Receiving corporal punishment - Getting caught in the "First & Last" - Sabotaging teachers' cars - Smokers' corner - Making Mr Homes throw a wobbler - Streaking across the sports field - Pupil's romantic adventures with young matrons - Scrumping apples - Various affairs with the McWilliam girls at Marsh Mills (yes I admit it) We certainly knew how to live in our day, we had it all. So lets get back to a bit of real Quantock culture and forget all this mamby pamby stuff! Sean |

Its been a while since I visited the site, glad to see the same old names cropping up. Also great to see some more names from the 70's appearing like Shaun Hext, Paul Gibbens, David Christmas and Rafael etc all of whom I remember well. Sorry I didnt make the reunion this year, I had planned to make a bit of a trip of it on my motorbike but other last minute commitments cocked things up. If anyone is remotely interested I had another article published this month in Trout & Salmon Magazine, Page 40. Go and have a nose in your local newsagents! Regards to Nick, Bri, Laurie, Blakey, Adrian Sean |

Hey Laurie, how's the boat business? I take it you mean the evening with Rosey about 2 years ago? Or was there a more recent one? Sean |

Hello Liz, I think the reference to Barbados was attached to Larry Kirtons' Father and not your Grandfather. I hope that the pair of them start to regain some good health soon. Cheers, Nick. |

There was my dad Chris and my uncles Maurice and Terry. Then there was me- i was only there for the year when the school shut down. so there were only 2 generations of us. it seems like from what my dad tells me it had changed alot from when he went there to when i went to quantock. number 1 there was not cane when i went- THANK GOODNESS otherwise i think i might have been the ideal candidate- as was my dad! he told me stories about climbing out of windows of the school at night and running off- he doesn't tell me where to but i have a feeling it was the pub!!! it would be excellent if someone remebered my dad- he's 52 now. LIZ.XX |

Hi Liz ,the following is taken from am old posting: Have you ever been incredibly stupid at Quantock and become the laughing stock of the school. Now's your chance to reveal all and suffer. My job was to keep the clock working. One Sunday the clocks had changed and had to go back one hour. So I stopped the clock and moved the hands to where I thought they should be. From inside you could not see the time showing on the different faces. I got outside to find that they were all showing different times, not one correct ! I repeated the same operation dozens of times to no avail. (Teachers and pupils now laughing at my exploits). Then I had a brainwave, I got a Jumblie (Chris Crocket I think) to stand outside looking up at the clock. I was in the tower shouting down at him and he told me the position of the hands. After about an hour he said evey thing was now OK. Running through the school jubilent, I got outside to find that the little so & so had been having me on, all the faces were telling the wrong time !!!!!! And no Jumblie in sight. Three or four hours later I did get the clock correct, and went smugly to Mr.Peaster for praise.
Mr.Peaster said "General I know all about you running up and down the school for 5 hours and being fooled by a Junior, why didn't you stop the clock, wait one hour then start it again ?"
I hid away from every one for a few days (fooled by a Jumblie !!!). |

As a new member,going by my 1981-1985 nickname,I see several categories that affect me.
After a drunken night spent at Beverley & Shirley's(where are they now?),armed with a stick of Tuck Shop chewing gum & a banana,instead of staggering back to the Sports Hall across the playing fields aiming for the corner light,I went the long way around,under the hedge by Mr.Phil's & in a mock-SAS move approached his shiny Land Rover90 estate.I confess it was I that inserted the said fruit up the exhaust pipe & smeared the gum on the drivers' side wiper.And I know he was'nt a teacher but Mr.Phil's son Russell(the Hair Bear Bunch reject)had a(n)urine-soaked seat on his noisy scrambler bike the next day.
I remember that the next morning Mr.Phil had a bit more of a scowl than usual.He He He!!!
Oh Dear.........
Does almost burning down the 5th Form Block,constitute as being bad?
If only Ian Barlow (or Egg-Head) had'nt dared me to light his paper bin with a fag,then poor Mr.Phil could've had a quiet Saturday night in;instead he found himself with a fire extinguisher,in the 5th Floor Block,tackling a mini blaze.I distinctly recall that when he asked what the hell I was doing & I replied that I was cold & fancied an indoor barbecue,that he actuallt swore at me!!Oh Golly Gosh..!
Egg-Head & I found ourselves posted to Gym Dorm,on the Piccadilly Circus Line for the next month or 2,with a draughty door,a sink with 2 cold taps,sloping beds,screaming kids running by & those f**king Alsatians of Peaster's barking late at night.
More to follow..... |
