Popular Post myersbg 1,355 Posted May 23, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Having just got home from a funeral of old teacher, i was wondering if any of you have had good recollections from your past, don't want to know about the bad ones other wise we could be here for eternity . This old boy was something else, first off he could be as tough as they come, hard but fair, he gave up his lunch times to teach me how to cast a fly rod, i would take the ferret to school and spend time in the school wood nailing rabbits then be late back for his woodwork or tech drawing lesson, he would play fck not cause i was late but because i hadn't asked him to go with me. I have kept in touch with him till this day, he was the world champion goldpanner , he had a gold stake out in the states and even invented a pump for getting the gold from river beds which he could have patented and made a fortune from but just wanted every one else to have one, he never sold a single ounce of his gold. The list of things this man did was unbelievable, organ player, woodturner, guitar maker, beekeeper, fisherman , the list could go on and on, ha had been a fantastic cross country runner in his hay day racing against Brasher and Bannister sometimes beating them both. He lost his wife 5 yrs ago after a long illness nursing her all through it and refusing to let her go in a home, ater that he was struck down with some lung disease [ said to me the fags had finally caught up with him] , it was sad to go to his home and see him with the oxy tanks and mask but he had made some home made extensions to the pipes so as he coud still get to his bees and his shed. I will miss George Alfred Henderson, rest in peace old lad. 24 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My school days were,nt that great and I could not wait to leave buts it's nice to have an inspirational figure like that in your life and hopefully the lessons in life he taught you, you will teach to someone in your life and that's how inspirational people live on after death, FairPlay to you as well for playing your part and not forgetting who was there for you I expect it meant a lot to him at the end, nice to hear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neil cooney 10,415 Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) Never got to know much about the personal life of my teachers except that my History teacher wrote books on the IRA. But I do remember their nicknames, Droopy, Knacker, TT (Tiny Tits) Smelly Wallace, Hoppy (he had a club foot) and Oscar (the grouch) were a few of them. In hindsight as kids we were the cruel ones, LOL. Oh, and a science teacher who's name was Waters so we called her H2O. Edited May 23, 2018 by neil cooney 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Our PE teacher we called 18month he had half an ear. Rugby injury. Papa to touhk was our Woodwork teacher Pardon stringer was the maths teacher Horse was the technical teacher his second name was Cartwright. Sex education was cherry blossom Although sex education @my school consisted of a mumbled warning about the janitor lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnGalway 1,043 Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Metalwork teacher, taught us day 1 the importance of not "banging" the faces of two ball pein hammers together at bollock height (think shrapnel). Technical Graphics teacher, for his wit, patience, dedication - Just a sound fella, even if he did drive a Lada. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Had a pottery teacher called Mr Hadlow in our school, used to love his lessons. All practical work and you'd get him talking about fishing, ferreting or air guns and the lessons would fly by. Start of the class he'd choose a few lads to soften the bags of clay in sealed plastic bags the class would be using that lesson and he'd encourage you to be as violent as possible with them, punch them, chuck them on the floor, etc. My turn I thought I'd be a smart arse and tried pile driving one into the deck WWE style.. (Still WWF back then! :D) I only popped the seam of my school trousers from the bottom of the flies right up to the waistline at the back! Wouldn't have been so bad but I had bright red boxers on underneath! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonjon79 13,340 Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 The one that I remember is a little old Scottish chap called Mr Semple - he was my form tutor and my English teacher in my first year at secondary school. If the truth be told, I was such a little c**t at that time that, he would've been well within his rights to write me off but, he never did. ....... He hung in there with me, despite the amount of chairs and tables that I threw around classrooms. Whenever I got suspended, he always gave a lift home - he was always trying to learn Russian with a tape in his car. His wife passed maybe 20yrs ago now, he followed about a month after. I'll never forget all of the help and chances he gave me. RIP Allan Semple. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
