chingford Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 1966 - 1972, possibly one of the oldest survivors frequenting this site (apart from Danny). You'd be too young to remember Moira Constable, then...? (aka Bunny?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chingford Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 (edited) Old Grammadians and JN Institutionalised were all madly rich, fee-paying, middle class wankers! No matter what you load of wanna-no-be's claim, only us in the Auld Camphill were the genuine dregs of society - dragged up by our boot-laces... except nane o us could afford the boots, let alone double-laces... I was personally dragged up by the singular bootlace. It was in my Elvis phase - and the lace made for a passable tie, draped round the neck of my corduroy liberty bodice.

Bill Lees Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Feck me - isn't that R.Y. Corbett, renowned sadistic bastard and part-time Rector of Paisley Grammar School ? (I was there 1974 - 1977. The man was a tyrant. I frequently sought comfort in the gigantic bosoms of Miss Patterson). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aber 87 Posted March 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Indeed it is that despot Corbett. Ruled the school through fear. Crap at giving the belt. And he never did find out who were throwing eggs from the top floor during assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbie Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 I frequently sought comfort in the gigantic bosoms of Miss Patterson). They were absolutely huge! I remember she used to turn round from the blackboard with two chalk circles on her paps That picture of Old Bob scared me witless. Bad memories of being knuckled over the heid till a lump the size of K2 appeared. The man was a lunatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom McB Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 No no no Tom. Had the sentence started "Bongo and I, " then you would have been correct. However, as the sentence was "Namely, Bongo and me", this is correct. After all, one would be unlikely to say "namely I" would one? I blame the erse o' the bank. You are correct- bravo! I is used for the subject of the sentence, me as the object. Plainly an old Grammarian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aber 87 Posted March 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 What bloody age was Miss Patterson when you were there Herbie as she was my teacher too. In your time she must have been some age.

I was there from 1984-1989. Other "teachers" I recall were: Fat Mel Haggerty - "If you don't play rugger you're scum". I had a run in with him as I made a formal complaint about him having *** posters on his classroom wall. Fanny Allan the art teacher. (Our class once upset her so much she ran away sobbing into the materials cupboard and hid there till the bell went.) Mrs Carmichael (another ancient art teacher. She reported our entire class to Old Bob when we ALL made Millwall bricks out of rolled up newspapers, when we were supposed to be making papier mache sculptures) The delectable Miss McCallum (Home Economics) - Every teenage boy's wet dream.

madmitch Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 (edited) Would have been an Old Grammarian had I been one year older. Our primary seven were all shipped (except me)to the dreaded Renfrew High. Instead, I'm am Old Grammarian from a neighbouring metropolis.

And he never did find out who were throwing eggs from the top floor during assembly. I seem to remember that two jokers tried to sell the school by posting a classified ad in the Paisley Daily Express - "Substantial sandstone residence on Glasgow Road, all mod cons, etc etc..." and gave RYC's office number as the the contact. Needless to say, he was not amused at this merry jape and threatened them with expulsion. never did find out what their fate was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
