Introduction to the Podcast
00:00:02
Speaker
Hey everyone, welcome to Took Your Shirt In, the podcast where we uncover the funniest, cringest and most unforgettable school stories. We're not just getting the students' horror stories, we've got teachers who survived the chaos too. You're listening to Took Your Shirt In with me, John Hassan, my brother, Luke Hassan, and our producer and former educator, Scott Burrows.
00:00:23
Speaker
Let's get into it.
Weekly Banter and Mishaps
00:00:29
Speaker
Hey. How you doing? Been a busy week? Yeah, little bit busy. Busy with work and stuff. Yeah, what about you? Yeah, all good. Not too bad.
00:00:40
Speaker
Not too many hijinks this week. um Didn't slip off the toilet. So that's a pretty good two weeks in a row. Yeah, you messaged us just before the podcast saying you were ah using the toilet, didn't you? So that was nice. Yeah, I mean, that's probably not for the pod. That's probably for the private WhatsApp channel.
00:00:57
Speaker
But I guess a WhatsApp channel called Poddy Chat. um I must have got confused with Posse Chat. um We talk about toilets every week. I think it might become a thing. It seems to be Luke's favourite topic of ah of interest for every week at the moment. so I don't know I there straight away. I think it's um it's just something everyone really engages with. Everyone can relate to going to the toilet. Everyone goes to the toilet. so ah Well, this week, anything happen?
Gym Story: Wrong Changing Room
00:01:29
Speaker
Yeah, so i've um I'm still keeping up at the gym. I'll be glad to know. I think the listeners will be glad to know. I'm going to be a hot popper. think that's what you're going hear the listeners call me.
00:01:41
Speaker
I'm pretty sure we've had some messages about that. um We haven't, just to clarify. No, we might have done. ill I'll check just after this one. It's in the shared, it's like the private inbox.
00:01:53
Speaker
No, no, I've got access to that as well. There's absolutely nothing in Let's move on from that. We will agree to disagree there. um So this week, yeah, I've been going back to the gym.
00:02:04
Speaker
I didn't realise that they sort of open. but you're not actually allowed to go around the facilities. You have to just remain in the ah in the reception area.
00:02:15
Speaker
That's already weird, isn't it? That's not something you'd assume would happen. Wait, what? They open early just as standing reception? that what you mean? Okay, this is weird, isn't it? It's not just me. So I didn't know this because I've only just started.
00:02:26
Speaker
I tapped in on my little wristband on the little scanner on the at the reception desk. And the bloke was heading down towards the changing room thought, I'll go and put my bag in the locker. That makes sense. um He opened the changing room. First all, walked straight in and he just goes, um that's the ladies, mate.
00:02:42
Speaker
So first error of the day, um, I said, oh, I didn't realize powers and he's like, oh, it's early, isn't it? And I thought, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I couldn't stop thinking. He's just thinking I've gone in there early before everyone arrives just to be like a real creep.
00:02:55
Speaker
Um, hiding a stall and home for the best. Yeah, he was looking at me as well that way and i was like, no, no, honestly, that's, I think was wearing like my big light trench coat with my shorts.
00:03:06
Speaker
um It made it even worse. And was like, oh God, this is all he thinks. And then when I followed him, I followed him into the men's one. Not him, I just followed him, he was unlocking the chain. Following him around for some reason.
00:03:19
Speaker
And then I put my stuff in the lock and I thought, oh man, now he thinks, now he just thinks now that, i've got I've gone to do this on purpose to put my stuff away, which I had, but I think I couldn't get over that. That was bad.
00:03:32
Speaker
Anyway, I went up to the went upstairs, went to my little ah room to get ready for my class. I think it was yoga sunrise yoga. um And then i said hello to the bloke working in there, and another man.
00:03:44
Speaker
And he came back around the corner he said, you know, we're not open yet. So that's a lot to take in, isn't it? When you've followed a man into the changing rooms and into the women's and then also you are in the gym as well.
00:03:57
Speaker
And then he tells you it's not open. So it took me a few wheels. the The wheels were turning him mind and i was like, don't know what to say to this. And he said, oh no what we do is we open the gym, but you have to stay in the lobby until 6.30.
00:04:11
Speaker
and What time do they open then? Six. That is so weird. I don't know why they don't stay in the lobby for. That is so weird. He comes back down on his radio with his checklist and he goes, right, you can all go up now.
00:04:24
Speaker
But why why do they open the doors? that's but That's bizarre. Surely just leave... like just one yeah Just open at half six. Oh, yeah. Anyway, that's just so weird. It's just a weird experience.
00:04:38
Speaker
yeah I suppose i suppose like it allows people to get inside and stay inside and yeah early morning... people on their own or whatever going to the gym. I guess so.
00:04:50
Speaker
But I could have talked to the guy, did the man on the desk tell was like, no, he let me in the changing rooms. He's just not, he's not followed those instructions. He doesn't know either. Then it felt worse. Cause then I thought, and then that man seen me as well and thought, oh, this guy's a creep walking around the gym really early.
00:05:04
Speaker
What's he doing? And then they probably gone and talked to each other and going, oh, do you see that guy creeping? Yeah. oh Oh, that guy. I thought he was all right. He did go in the women's changing rooms actually. Yeah. i've been in these trench squares as well And we're not open as well. We're not open at this time. So don't know what he was doing up there.
00:05:20
Speaker
Oh God, it was just, yeah, it was just a really weird morning. Have you been back since?
Gym Membership Woes
00:05:25
Speaker
I have been back and I wait in the lobby the next next time. That's good. Probably for the best this time. You can try it again next It's the rush. It's the rush to get into the gym. yeah is There's like five people there in that time as well.
00:05:36
Speaker
Anyway, yeah, that's my week. um Yeah, a weird one, but just get on with it, isn't you? Get on with it. Be the gym creep, that's fine. I'll take that out of the night, haven't they? Yeah.
00:05:47
Speaker
ah we yeah So you've you've you've you've actually been to the gym. I've continued my week of ah or my weeks of signing up to the gym, maintaining a gym membership and just completely not going.
00:06:00
Speaker
And I've kind of committed to it now. i'm just I'm playing squash twice a week on top of football and yeah having a great time doing that. But I can't bring myself to actually go to the gym. I just can't.
00:06:12
Speaker
I can't do it. Can't hack it. I've been once. I've been signed up since like January. Can't do it It's hard work. It's hard work. I mean, once you sign that dotted line, you're in that ironclad contract. mother like they got You got like stuck in like a cycle, didn't you? When you signed up to a gym, you just couldn't leave. It was like months.
00:06:32
Speaker
ah Yeah, it was a three month contract. And was like, oh yeah, thanks. Thanks ever so much. I think I'm just to leave it for now because started in between different works. think I was self-employed there. He was like, no, no, you can't leave. I was like, what do you mean? You have to give three months notice. I was like, what? Oh gosh. It's a three month contract.
00:06:52
Speaker
Yeah, but you need to give three months notice. that When you joined, you should have told us that you were leaving. What? like what How does that work? You evil bastards.
00:07:06
Speaker
And then I just carried on. but just kept going. I don't know. I think maybe gave my notice little bit after that. I'm sure you kept missing it. And then they just kept saying you hadn't given your notice and it just went on for ages.
00:07:18
Speaker
Please. Please. I'm so thin. He's still not out of it to this day, I've heard. I think I still pay for it, yeah. The gym doesn't even exist anymore. It's gone. out He's just paying into some guy's back pocket. He's having a great time. You can't leave. He's bought the debt. bought his He's bought the debt with his company. I can't leave.
00:07:39
Speaker
Oh, fantastic. Oh, these gym cycles.
Chaos in the Classroom
00:07:46
Speaker
Right, so um who's got a story for us today then, gents? Go on, Scott, do you want to tell one? ah can i can i can I can go out. i can I can do this, yeah, this week. um ah think this week's a good opportunity to um kind of break down myself and John's years. as I mean, every single story I've got from years pretty much contains John in it.
00:08:11
Speaker
Yeah. I think this week... Sorry, can I just stop you for a second, Scott? Have you seen what he's doing, like really weirdly eating that banana? I'm just eating a banana.
00:08:23
Speaker
Who eats a banana halfway through recording a podcast? The way he's eating it is horrible. I don't know why. It's so bizarre. It's so bizarre. and sure Surely you pre-fuel your podcast.
00:08:36
Speaker
I like to mid-fuel podcasting. And what's that like than a banana? There's some delightful ASMR going on for ah but the viewers right now. Luke, just... Please keep on with the story.
00:08:50
Speaker
Right, okay, we'll try and ignore it maybe. I'm not sure I can. It's too intense. It's lot of eye contact as well. It's kind of freaking me out. Now he's pretending to be a monkey of some sort. like Yeah, bizarre.
00:09:05
Speaker
um Yeah, so myself and ah myself and John, when we were younger, were quite fortunate, really. We were in the same form and everything at school. Yeah. And we had some we had some bizarre bizarre moments and bizarre classroom antics.
00:09:23
Speaker
But I'd say we were we were a fairly well-behaved form group most of the time. um And the one afternoon, or the one morning, I should say, we we we'd done really well. We'd we'd been given like the most achievement points or like but behavior points. I can't remember what they were called at school.
00:09:40
Speaker
Yeah. um And we won a box of heroes, I think they were, or celebrations, something like that. theyre A large box. I think John already knows where this is going.
00:09:51
Speaker
And... and and we were We were given to them to to kind of like share out between the rest of the class. and I think our class had you know we had the usual ah the usual few few lads who were a bit boisterous and a bit a bit silly, um but often took things a little bit too far. um and We came out of assembly after receiving this in front of the whole rest of the year group. um And yeah, unfortunately for us, we went into an RE lesson with that with a substitute teacher who...
00:10:26
Speaker
And you already know that you know no one's going to be sitting in the seating plan. no one's going to be ah the the correct name on the register. um There's going to be some absolute carnage about to unfold in this lesson.
00:10:39
Speaker
I'd say they're quite free-spirited children. Yes, I'd say so. I think when ah when you have when you have a ah substitute, for some reason... All manner of behavior just goes out the window and and anything kind of goes within the classroom. and So we just received this box of celebrations, shared out to the lads at the back of the room who were like, oh yeah, we've got this. All of the sillier lads, I'd say, were at the back of the classroom.
00:11:12
Speaker
And for some reason, one lad just decided to start throwing celebrations at this poor woman at the front of the classroom. was all she was trying to do. All she was trying to do was the register.
00:11:25
Speaker
Oh, even the register? She couldn't get through the register. that's so bad. Which was far awful on its own. And and she she was having the worst time. and she And I'm not joking, this whole box of celebrations, heroes, whatever it was, was thrown at her to the point where they obviously ran out of ammo eventually.
00:11:46
Speaker
And they were all just going, getting out their seats, picking it up and returning back to throw it back at her. She didn't know what was happening. She was trying to look down at the desk. I think she took the weird approach, though, of not addressing what was happening. She just tried to ignore it, which I guess is a is a strategy. But um they weren't, it didn't work. yeah It was physical ah violence.
00:12:09
Speaker
I don't think was. I mean, the one lad, the one lad went and stood at the front of the room, like next to her, to try and help her with the register. And instead was just catching any chocolates that were missing her and just taking them to the back of the room and just kept going back and forth, back and forth, just to keep, ah just to make sure that the ammo was kept. And she just had no idea what was going on. And it must, like...
00:12:35
Speaker
you know when time stops in a moment? It was like that. Like, it just it just seemed to go on forever. But yeah, after about 15 minutes, she finally was like, right, that's it.
00:12:46
Speaker
Enough now. I've had enough. And she stormed out of the room. And I think we we mentioned the ah the the teacher that struck fear into everyone when you knew you were in trouble last week, Mrs. Nibs.
Mrs. Nibs Restores Order
00:13:00
Speaker
Mrs. Nibs was swiftly collected and brought into the room and gave us an absolute scream down. um Everyone was in chairs. Everyone was sat politely.
00:13:12
Speaker
um you know all the chocolates were picked off the floor she took the box with her and it was a yeah it was it was a moment to to behold really I think any any teachers that needed a lesson in ah how to how to quiet and get a classroom to behave kind of got a good lesson that day she was she was in prom form that morning. and Do you think she does classroom consultancy? I feel like she should. Like she would she would transform school's behaviour, policies in in seconds. She definitely should.
00:13:44
Speaker
But this poor woman, she just, oh, she didn't know what to do, did she, John? She didn't know which way to look.
Humorous Classroom Experiences
00:13:51
Speaker
It was just horrible because sort of when you're at school, you know, there's, I think we were quite young then. We were early in high school.
00:13:58
Speaker
um i think we were yeah think we were year eight or nine i think but you sort of you know you know what the cool like naughty kids are like you don't you don't want to be the one standing up to them do you it's like social um suicide if you're the one saying stop stop doing that stop doing that enough now guys come on so you're sort sat just watching this horrible scene unfold it's
00:14:20
Speaker
I feel like if you stand up in that moment, you you then get targeted. Like you going to worse. They're going to move off her completely. And you are going to be the target of every single celebration in the world at that point.
00:14:33
Speaker
It's like prison, isn't it? You've got to keep your head down. Well, they that this is just what i was about to go on to. I can't remember what the the punishment was for it, whether it was one of those classic ones where they punish the whole class, you know? like Is it like a Bruce Bond trotter situation where you have to keep eating of the chocolates? I don't think there was.
00:14:49
Speaker
i don't think there was any punishment given to that. I think the... um like I think because she kept looking down at the register and pretended it wasn't going on, she didn't really I think she kind of knew who it was, but she couldn't directly name people. I'm sure I've got a vision her turning around at one point and literally looking at one of them in the eye, stood with his arm like ready to throw. I think I've got that as well, etched into my brain from somewhere. Yeah.
00:15:15
Speaker
Yeah, I don't think she could safely say much exactly who it was and who it wasn't. So I think a lot of the class got, or a lot of those that group of ah students got away with got away with it. I mean, it's just classic supply teacher life, isn't it?
00:15:30
Speaker
Oh my God. You're in for an absolute storm of behavioral issues. like I can safely say, as a teacher, the amount of classrooms I've had to go into over the years and just being like,
00:15:43
Speaker
this is ridiculous. Stop it now. So I think, um, have you ever done like teaching? Uh, I've never done supply teaching though. I, um, I've done, obviously I've done supply lessons. Um, but they know, say what i say like but they know they know who I am. um don't get me wrong. Like i remember covering a, I think it was like a year 11 French lesson, um, in my first year as a teacher.
00:16:09
Speaker
um, And it was just like, obviously it's French anyway. It was, but it was like they had, ah school used to have like sets in French.
00:16:21
Speaker
So it was like all the badly behaved kids in one classroom sort of thing. um to the point on the cover notes, because you used to get like a ah set of instructions on what to do with the class. and And she put on the bottom of it, I'm so sorry.
00:16:35
Speaker
Good luck. Oh my I didn't know. I kind of could could kind of understand it. um They were literally like the worst the worst behaved students in the whole year group. and I was quite fortunate that a couple of them I taught geography to.
00:16:52
Speaker
um So I had quite a good relationship with them. but Not anymore. Oh God, that lesson. Like it was an hour long and it felt like it was, it was like a whole week at school. It was awful.
00:17:04
Speaker
I think it was nicer because it's sort of like, only gave you on just a little notes. Didn't want to give you too much in advance because then you have to be thinking about it when you're building up to it. Oh no. like you chora because So for me, it was, it was like determined that I was on cover already previously in the week because they were on like a school trip or something. yeah yeah So I'd already, like it was on my timetable. Um,
00:17:25
Speaker
in ah an app called or a program called Sims, which was used for all our registers and stuff. So you could go in and see the who was in the lesson. And I remember just looking at it and just being like, that is going to be the worst hour of my week. um and it will And it really was. It was horrendous. i just like you just get to a point sometimes where it was it was the worst part. was that It was the last lesson of the day.
00:17:50
Speaker
I think on like a Thursday afternoon, they'd had PE. So like half the like the class are all arriving at different times and you had like a couple of kids who were just like, you know, don't they're really nice kids and they're they lovely. like But then you had the idiots turning up like 30 minutes late and you're just like, where have you been? oh we had people helping.
00:18:10
Speaker
but i think they just go for a wander. They're just like, oh, we'll we'll walk really slowly. We'll go the long way around. Yeah. fag at the back of the bike sheds. ah They didn't used to do that. But ah yeah, I think they just they just decide, oh, we know. Like the teacher would have probably warned them as well that it'll be a supplied teacher because they're on, they're on, they're away.
00:18:32
Speaker
So they they're aware that they're not in today. what bru What's it like in a staff? ah Is there ever ah like a student that's talk of the staff room? I know you've've you've been in the side. that like They're like, I was really on one today. You've got him later or anything like that. I think, so I've dealt with it from two angles. um Kind of doing it from a pastoral lead sort of side where,
00:18:58
Speaker
where you know a student has had some difficulties outside of school or in school and you're just like, look, this person's coming into your lesson. They've had a really bad day. They're going to be in your afternoon lessons. um If there are any issues, just like, yeah, just drop me an email. I'll be there or just pick up the phone or whatever. I'll be there in two minutes to collect them.
00:19:20
Speaker
At the same side of things, I've had lessons where a student is just off on one and and you just deal with it in the best way you can deal with it. I think i think a lot depends on that student and their like specific needs.
00:19:35
Speaker
um if it's someone you've got a good relationship with and you can kind of calm them down and just allow them to stay in the lesson as long as they're not being troubled. Like I used to have one kid who suffered with narcolepsy.
00:19:47
Speaker
Um, Oh no, that's tough. He just used to like, you just be like, it just, yeah, little Johnny would just be like, he'd be absolutely fine. And then suddenly his head just like hit the desk sort of thing. god that's asleep um and obviously you just leave him to sleep. Um,
00:20:05
Speaker
there's not a lot you can do in that kind of situation. um But yeah, most that most of the time, kids kids are pretty good at realizing, I think we all did as as kind of children, you realize who are the teachers you can kind of trust and kind of have a bit of a laugh and a joke with whilst also working, but then not try. yeah it's about finding the right balance.
00:20:31
Speaker
And every teacher's different as well. And every student's different. So, finding things that work with people. But yeah, I've had some ah i've had some difficult lessons in the past.
Funny Incidents and Drawings
00:20:40
Speaker
Jeez, that good advice, Scott. It's quite deep. not it just means that i just got to to Sorry, guys. I didn't realise we were... Yeah, it's meant to be comedy.
00:20:49
Speaker
But we also offer really good advice. And then he shit himself. you have any kids that were um ah that i annoyed by making you laugh and you had to like try and hide it? I i had one situation where I had a kid, like, so I had to had a student who was just hilarious, like really, really funny, but often overstepped the line.
00:21:14
Speaker
And a couple of times I had to like step out of the classroom. Do you know the in-betweeners where Greg Davis walks out the room when he's with Will's mom and just starts felling laughing? So I had a cupboard in my classroom, which was just like a storage cupboard for like books, glue sticks, whatever.
00:21:31
Speaker
And a couple of times I'd just be like, oh, I'm just going to get, I'm just going to go get something from the cupboard and just kind of have like a little giggle to yourself. And it actually connected to ah one of the other teacher's classrooms. So we often just like would meet up halfway through the lesson in there and just be like, what's up? What's going on? This is why education's going down the pants. Honestly, it's ah teaching. but I mean, this is just going to give me a bad name, isn't it? This this whole part this whole situation. It's fine. I don't do it anymore. No.
00:22:02
Speaker
ah Fantastic. Yeah. But it's harder because you're stifling the laugh as well, aren't you? Oh you've got hold it in. mean, sometimes you can't. ah Sometimes you can't and you just laugh at a situation. Like I had one lesson where a kid, like, so I used to teach, I think it was year eight, a lesson where they had to do like adaptation for like camels or like desert environments.
00:22:23
Speaker
And I used to get them to have like the actual camel and then create their own. And one kid, wanted to like I used to either give them like a printout of a camel to like draw around or and like add extras to, or I'd just get them to like fully design their own camel.
00:22:41
Speaker
And this one, he just drew this. He just drew this. So it's geography. And it's, it's, uh, it was, it sounds immental.
00:22:53
Speaker
But obviously like animals adapt to their environments. So we go through like the ah adaptation of a, of a camel and all the different ones that they had. And then for a bit of fun, I'd just get them to make their own.
00:23:05
Speaker
And the one kid drew, what was meant to be a camel and it just looked like a massive dick. um And he was like... I think that's what he meant to do, Scott.
00:23:18
Speaker
I don't know. He genuinely didn't. Like the kids... He's one of those... No, he's one of those kids that wouldn't do that sort of thing he just wouldn't he was like a really like you get to know your students and he was not someone who would purposefully draw a dick it just happened to look like it as he was adding extra things onto it and kind of looked down was sat right at the front of the lesson I was like that looks that looks weird I also once drew a waterfall on the board from like a geographical point of view in front of year 10 doing River's Topic, which looked like a dick with balls underneath as the plunge ball. And I had a teaching support person in there kind of help a certain student. And we both kind of looked at each other
00:24:10
Speaker
before all the kids realised what drawn on the board. And I was like, let's let's change this slightly. But yeah, you have those awkward moments all the time where you just want to laugh. And you yeah, it's horrible.
00:24:24
Speaker
Thank you. Thank you for graceness with that story, Scott. I'm on a bit of a journey there on your teaching life. It's all coming out now. You've got time to ah exhale it all.
Listener's Prank Story
00:24:38
Speaker
ah bit right have we got any ear Have we got any stories? we have got We have got some more stories. Sent in. We have got some sent in. This one's actually from my sister.
00:24:49
Speaker
and Oh, which sister? This is from my sister Katie. and And she has titled this story The Dandruff Shaker. Oh no, this sounds...
00:25:04
Speaker
Pretty gruesome, I've got to say. So my sister was in a group of students at school who were kind of the the nerds, the geeks, as they like to call themselves. and they They were the kind of kids that came up with um names for other parts of the, you know, other groups in the school. So they had like the coolios who were like the cool kids. my God, this is awful. Oh yeah, terrible.
00:25:27
Speaker
Absolutely terrible. She's asked me not to include that section, but I'm going to anyway. the coolios um they are they are um so oh fantastic they wanted a way of of kind of messing with with people um and messing with other people and um they used to do something called the dandruff shaker which was essentially do you know the Do you know you have like the pencil sharpeners with the bit with the blades on? Yeah.
00:26:00
Speaker
They collect all the pencil sharpeners, then you can go to the bin instead of just having to stand over the bin. So they used to get one of those. like you describing the pencil sharpener then, Scott. Well, yeah, but the ones that actually collect them. No, I know what it is. Because the other ones obviously just goes everywhere.
00:26:16
Speaker
yeah And she used to have she used to have one in her pencil case, and they would sharpen the rubbers. to create these little tiny bits of rubber and break it all up and everything.
00:26:27
Speaker
then They would then use, um so from the food tech rooms, do you know like the ah like the sprinklers for like icing sugar and stuff like that? I'm not i'm not sure what they're actually called.
00:26:39
Speaker
But they used to, they stole one of those, put all of these rubber bits in. And then as students were walking down the stairs or were like on top of them, they just sprinkle. Jesus Christ. these like little bits of rubber into people's hair. And then later in the lesson, like often the coolios would pick up on it and be like, oh my God, you've got dandruff.
00:27:00
Speaker
Oh my God, you've got dandruff. And they just used to do it to all sorts of year like year groups in the end. And then they started picking on people. And it was just like, what a horrible situation to be in. Your sister was in the nerds group. It sounds like she was in the... Yeah, I know, but it was really...
00:27:15
Speaker
really Really, really deceitful. They've called themselves the nerds, great but really, they're horrible. are. They're evil people. It's so awful to do that.
00:27:26
Speaker
like So there were these poor kids just getting just having having walking around being told they've got dandruff. and be ah essentially just being bullied for having for having dandruff. Yeah, we ah shook dandruff on people's hair. We kicked people in the shins.
00:27:43
Speaker
Yeah, we slashed tires. We shoved them in a cupboard and waited for them to come out. It was just funny. It was just a joke. It was a prank. It was just a prank. Just a laugh. We're the nerds.
00:27:55
Speaker
Head and shoulder sales went through the roof.
00:28:00
Speaker
But no, thanks, Katie, for ah for sending that one in to us. Thanks, Katie. i had I had a different different idea of who your sister was. That's really shook. Honestly, she idea I think she comes on she's similar to John in a lot of ways.
00:28:15
Speaker
Like, all the teachers loved her. Everyone was like, oh, he's such a nice kid and everything. When really, like, just this absolute demon of a child. Absolutely shocking.
00:28:26
Speaker
I completely changed my opinion about your sister. I suppose she's like angelic and like... I think that that's, but again, this is the this is the perception that everyone's got her. Well, Katie was an absolute devil child.
00:28:39
Speaker
and
00:28:42
Speaker
she did she yeah she did she was she was She was always really nice and obviously like did really well ah in in kind of school and everything. um But she was an absolute demon at the same time. like she She did have a dark side to her.
00:28:57
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, these pranks seem... I mean, fair play for to admitting that and writing it in. Because that's brave. It's quite a bit uns subtle, clever... yeah it's not if It's not something that she'd she'd ever... like She's not the fun kind of person to have like direct confrontation.
00:29:15
Speaker
like If she's going to mess with you, it's going to be from behind your back where you don't know it's happening. And then suddenly one day you're like... yeah It's more of a mind game than any anything. like those Those kids are walking out going...
00:29:27
Speaker
do I have that? mom, can you get me some head and shower? I have to go to the doctors. I've got some serious problems. I'll get some medicated shampoo. I'm really, I'm really struggling.
00:29:39
Speaker
My scalp is just intact. I'm not ashamed my head. i think I've got nits. You can see the white eggs.
00:29:50
Speaker
Oh, that's so subtle and so nasty. same very Very subtle. ah it's ah but this This seems a theme so far, doesn't it? With Niamh's remote control on a phone turning off the ah projector and just ruining education for everyone.
00:30:07
Speaker
But it's it's it's it's it's clever it's clever. I I know. That's to it. It's not your box. It's standard bullying, is it? There's thought gone into it, isn't it?
00:30:18
Speaker
What can I get away with without getting myself into trouble or changing the outlook of how I look to other people? That's what it's all about. There was a group of them as well. Oh, yeah. They all did it together.
00:30:33
Speaker
So she said the best part was the MS block stairs. Now we, obviously, myself, John and Luke know what the MS block stairs were, but it was essentially just like two staircases that curled back on each other.
00:30:47
Speaker
um But they were quite, mean I'd say they were fairly steep stairs. You get a good spread. So you get a good you get a good spray over, she said that was their kind of like main target area.
00:30:59
Speaker
It's very happen to me. I was I'm sure, I'm sure. like i It unlocked a memory of me going home one day and just being like, why have I got rubber in my hair? the I wonder, that probably happened quite a few times.
00:31:14
Speaker
It's your bloody sister. Yeah, it's my sister. so like guess Sorry, everyone. It wasn't even like like, the initial start of it was that it was to get back at certain people, but she just they just did it to everyone. it was just they just did it so They just ended up just doing it to whoever was there.
00:31:29
Speaker
I don't think they were getting back at anyone. They were just doing this for their own Maybe it started that way and then they got a taste for it. It's bit like a Heisenberg sort of situation. Oh God, the Oh, the power.
00:31:44
Speaker
Oh, brilliant. I wonder if the teachers ever saw it and just sort of, oh yeah, we'll just let that go. That's great. Oh, that's just, that's just Katie Burrows and her. Oh yeah. She wouldn't do anything like that. Yeah, no, she, she's, she's so lovely. She'd never anything dark. they ever did the teachers as well. I took it a step further. Yeah. That could have been.
00:32:01
Speaker
I know. don't, I don't remember a lot of our teachers having hair to be honest. so True. In general, we they're not going to have hair, are they? Dealing at high school.
Engaging the Audience
00:32:10
Speaker

So like, Luke, if you were set me up for that again, I can say, oh, yeah. going to keep setting you up for stuff. Put him on the spot as much as possible.
