That's ... not how that works

Also, we're still waiting for you to grow up, so effectively did you just call me a sperm? Strange insult, but OK.

The primary school I went to was built in 1860, and probably hadn't been upgraded much since the 1960s before I ended up there. It's not a competition.

I will say the bog roll was a bloody disgrace though, like trying to wipe your arse with tracing paper.

Primary school bog roll Ours was this shiny gloss stuff, one wipe and it'd end up between your shoulder blades.

Pretty sure we're all talking about the same stuff. I looked up IZAL after Nutek mentioned it and that's what I remember.

I think the only half decent bog roll I ever used in school was in the 6th form bogs. They were also a great place for a crafty smoke as well because hardly anyone ever used them since they were in a new addition and were kind of out of the way from the normal classrooms.

Sorry to hear that the generation after me (yours!) was subjected to the same horrors.

In Year 12 (year you turn 17) we had a large room we could use at lunch time. If we had a permission note from our parents, we were allowed to smoke in there Mum never knew it, but she signed a note for me

For all I know they still are. It feels like crappy toilet paper is as much a part of going to primary school as the ABCs or runny noses.

That is remarkably permissive for a school. Quiet as the bogs could be, I only used them rarely. We used to jump over the wall at the far corner of the school grounds into a little lane than ran between our school and the university next door and smoke there. The rest of them got busted when I was off at an open day at a different uni, but I was never officially caught myself. They had to know though, you can't exactly hide the smell of fags, especially on the material our blazers were made out of.

We had Bronco at home -- the same totally unabsorbent shiny stuff. I recall that as kids we used to hijack the TV theme song and sing, "Bronco, Bronco, tear it along the dotted line . . . ."

It was the 70s man. Even the teachers wore 'Make Love Not War' badges. We sang Norwegian Wood in music class and were given a say in the school curriculum.
We caught the bus into the city on Saturday nights to go to Rock Masses at St Georges Cathedral.
We sat around in a big circle in Supreme Court Gardens, playing guitars and singing.
What a time to be alive

We smoked dope in the darkroom once, does that count?
