Back to what school dished out. I guess I was a difficult child. Smart enough to do well, but awkward enough to gain the attention of the authorities. At school I got the pump and the cane (pump is laughable, cane **** well hurts when one of the PE teachers is dishing it out). I also got a baseball to the side of the head and once was made to run about 4 miles behind one of the PE teachers cars. I'd never, in a million years have told my parents about this 'corporal punishment', they'd have punished me again.
None of it sorted me out though, I still did well at school, even got some A levels but no doubt there was a big black mark on my file. Fights, drink, attitude, I bet some of the teachers wanted to give me a good kicking,and I would have deserved it, I was a little shit.
Took me to about 21 – 22 to outgrow it all. I tell you what though, from 18 to 22 I had a bloody fantastic time. Fighting, drinking, drugs, girls, more girls, more fighting. **** brilliant.
