What's your plans for tonight?
These teacher stabbings are awful, aren't they? School should be a safe, happy place - not worrying if someone is going to get a knife out.

I'm stuck with watching more X Factor after sitting through 2.5 hours of the bloody thing last night.

one lad at my junior school was expelled for slashing bus seats, this was in the late 50s early 60s, unheard of back then, mind you he was a little tearaway so he deserved it.

I remember a time when kids used to carry a pen-knife on them! That wouldn't be allowed now.

What bus was it? The school bus or a local bus?

We once had a cinema where half of the seats had been ripped out! I'm not sure who was ripping them out or where they went.

You know when you see those people on Jeremy Kyle, where they've got one tooth then a huge gap, then maybe one or two other teeth? Well, the seating arrangement in our cinema was like that. Sometimes you couldn't even sit next to your friends. You ended up shouting across to them "Are you enjoying the film?". The cinema closed down eventually - strangely enough.

it was a local bus, we didn't have designated school buses back then, you were given a bus token and used the normal buses.
we all had pocket knives back then, I was in the Scouts and wore a sheath knife plus a "jack" knife(the one with the spike for getting stones out of horses hooves!) nobody went around stabbing anyone else back then, a knife was just a tool nothing more.

Ah yes, I used to go to a sixth-form college, where we would just use one of the local buses. They gave us a bus pass each, which we would show to the driver.

I bet you had one of those knives with a million different 'tools' on it, did you?! The more tools on there, the better! (But probably didn't use half of them).
