Tell us something really trivial about your life (Vol 27)
Discussion
We had a science master at school whose credentials to teach science I questioned even at the time. His name was Smith. He was old and wrinkly and had a lot of frizzy hair. We called him Granny Smith. In those days school children had a 1/3 pint bottle of milk every day. When a science lesson and milk coincided, he would stand in front of us, pulling tortured expressions on his face, proclaiming he would never drink fresh milk as the moment it hit your stomach it curdled. It seemed to me that this was a ridiculous argument as Christmas Dinner when it hit your stomach wasn't going to look nearly as appetising as it had on the plate, was it?

morning all
Couldnt be bothered to get out of bed on time, so im half an hour late, BUT i did take my bike halfway and only then got on the tram, so i got some much needed exercise.
Also, last day before a loooong weekend
Also, cock, i hesitated so long on ordering my tickets for Spa this saturday that parking tickets are all gone, now im not sure whether i can risk just showing up and ditching the car somewhere else....

I got a massive bking by our Form Tutor for storing the empty bottles inside my desk. (Yes, we had those wooden desks with the lift up top and an inkwell top right) Obviously they were supposed to be returned to the milk crate at the end of each morning break but that was far too much effort. I managed about a fortnight's worth of empty bottles before the smell gave me away and the inbuilt Teacher Sarcasm™ began quipping about me running my own dairy.
Two night's detention.

He's right though; a vivid memory of childhood is having a drink of milk before bed then vomiting it all up 5 minutes later, and it looking like the inside of one of those industrial cheesemakers you see on the news when dairy farmers are slitting their wrists over the milk price.Vitorio said:
