Re: Hollins

mancie i remember that metal work teacher was a swine when in a foul mood once broke a metal work file across my elbow.

also the lads being mad on the pe teacher miss cooper and being dissapointed when they found out she was gay.
The maths teacher Mr cooper had a bigger pump size 14 lads used to be scared to death of him.
Saw Mr Blackburn down town the other day he suffering badly with his knees and had it replaced in an operation.

Bacon had the nick name danish from the old danish bacon advert in the early 70's

Re: Hollins

I remember once, a lad jumped of the fire escape from the art building.He was a couple of years above me, but i remember it like it was yesterday. It was a bloody long drop too, He just walked away on to the grass between the main building and the ROSLA block (rasing of school leaving age). & we used to stand on the fish pond when it was frozen over. The one that was outside the main building entrance. Mr Hale, did he teach R.E? I cant remember the name of that really fat music teacher. Eh lads do you remember miss bibby at the 1st year annex, she was hot with those mini skirts she used to wear, what legs!
