Zico Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Feckin hell, had a right laugh at some of this. Still see Wellie and Wilson (ginger maths, not Rambo chemistry) out for pints together. Wellie definitely gave you character with the digs in the ribs and knees in the back. Could take it back as well (once you got bigger that is). He did get a laddie in my higher chemistry class greetin though! And speaking of Peter 'Drogs' Peace, he was on the Back To The Brink video. Don't ask me how I spotted him, but Sandy Clark scored against St Mirren in about 1985, and you can see Peace-pipe's unmistakeable features running back to the halfway line with his flag in the air. And who's this Mrs Watson that was in a Fabian Yantorno? I cannae believe that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JyTees Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I had a bit of a square go with Wellie when he ripped my sweatshirt off my back because he said it was indecent! It had a picture of Marilyn Monroe on it with her legs in the air, (it was a cool top back in the day, went well with my Fara's and Pod Sandals ) I swear the top was almost in two. Mr Lamont was the head at the time and Wellie got a roasting for it and made to shell out for a new one. Funny thing was, I always got on great with him before and after that. It was a footy thing. Same for Beardie Boab, great guy! Fruit cakes were Phoaby and his body odour (Mr Donald) and Miss Mackenzie. In her 60's and had never had the boaby. I got thrown out of her modern studies class and made to take Secretarial Studies for the rest of my school duration. Safe to say I went once then just stayed on the no.32 right round Edinburgh for a couple of hours and pop in for PE! Ahhh the memories... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBreezey Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Tremendous thread, many happy memories being brought back. I was at Forries from 86-92 and also had a wee thing for Miss Laing. I have heard she is a lesbian tho! She must be a fair age now though. Miss Simpson (Economics) was also a favourite of mine, not a great looker but a curvy figure, I can still remember her tight black skirts hugging her butt to this day! Mr Wilsons classic 'on ye go, on ye go' when he was reffing will never be forgotten (he could teach a few refs about the advantage rule', unless you legs was broken it was a case of 'just get on with it'! Rambo Wilson scared me *****less, so much that I got a 1 in 'O' Grade Chemistry. Jack Beck was a legend, he told us about his brief football career with Queen of the South on so many occassions. Think he played 45 minutes for their reserves on 1 occassion. Ahh. Happy days indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughesie27 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 McGregor is still kicking about now as a substitue teacher but he always seems to be in Forries. He reminds me of a war veteran type with old school ideas about how to teach a class. Once asked him for a pen when upon taking his jumper off where 5 lined up pens in his shirt pocket. He then took one out. Looked at it. Then went out of the class to another teachers room and came back with a pencil with no lead in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbo27_22 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Miss McKenzie the social science teacher was without a doubt the biggest loon since Hitler. Mr Still, where were you for detention on Tuesday. What detention Miss McKenzie? Oh I don't know maybe I told my cheese grater instead. There were defo some teachers there during my time that were doing more drugs than the pupils - Miss McKenzie(senile dementia prescription) and Kenny McArthur(toak central) being the two prime candidates. Some good times but mostly, I detested secondary. Mr Lakin was without a doubt the most vile teacher ever, hope he caught something nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
