alylou Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Same years as me, we must know each other;) Are you thinking of Mr Hugman the RE teacher. He used to have us write stories from the Bible in our own words, we used to introduce new characters like Godzilla and Superman to see if he actually looked at our work, he did - you used to get a big red ring round it and a question mark. Mr Tingle the fag puffing PE teacher became Mayor of Rotherham didn't he? There was also: Mr Sanderson with his "Shaat Aarp" (Shut Up) catchphrase. Mr Drage who nipped of to the Angel for a drink when possible. Mr Mallinson who used his car as a giant ashtray. Mr Grabba who sternly coached us to victory in rugby. Mr Chatterton who told us about his war experiences instead of teaching us music. Ms Rigby who sadly got Lupus and died. I was in class 2CA, 3CA etc. With Mr Butler (BillyWing because of his big collar shirts) as form teacher. Jarvis Cocker's sister Saskia was in our class. is this Stephen?? If so I was in your class... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Skin Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I was there until 85. Remember Mr Fletcher and his mad essays? Mr Tindall and the tuck shop? School trips to Hayfield Farm and the Norfolk Broads? Marvellous days... Believe it or not Mr. Tindall's still there, as mad as ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squeakyclean Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Mr Tingle really doesn't look much different either, still wearing a tracksuit. Miss Jackson is still there as is Mr swift. I am sure those two used to date each other- am I right? I used to hate science,and Mr Polson was one scary guy.I think he used to shove his fingres in a plug socket every morning before school, to get that hair!

Bad_Hair_Day Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Believe it or not Mr. Tindall's still there, as mad as ever! Oh my god! He must be ready to retire by now, and Mr Swift and "Miss" Jackson! I've been left 20 years so they've got to be in their sixties! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVEGARY Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I was at City from sep 74 to june 79 good days. I came from intake and spent four great years . Remember watching Arabacus Pulp rehersing ,i knew Jarvis all hs school life as i was with him at Intake primary.Well done Jarvis !! Remember Mrs Hasty and Mr Gardiner who is now Head of the new school that used to be called Walthof Chatterton ,Sanderson ,Hughes ,Tingle, St John ,Fletcher, Brown (the man with calipers), Porter ,Ward ,Mr Kita , Mr Nicholls ,and the very fancy mr Harrison(P.B.C.) Mr Mcpherson took over as deputy Head when I was at City and replaced the very draconian Mr Walker(the corridor patroller). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
