Apologies Got the wrong Briggs in my head.

 

The one above used to live just above the railway bridge at Handsworth.

I came across him several years ago selling Honda cars at a main dealer in Rotherham

 

djbriggs i believe is a couple of years younger and lived in the Coleford road area.

Step out here my scruffy little manikin , and let me lay some willow across your sweaty little palms !

 

I must not swear, you are only little boys , yet.

 

Upon espying " titch" Wright outside the medical room , who had a desire to become a jockey .

 

Ben proclaimed " what's the matter Mr Wright ? have you fallen at the first ?

 

 

Priceless.

 

Darnex, your memory is positively Elephantine, and set me thinking about some other Hollandisms...

 

"Carr, drive round the room and give the paper out."

"What did you draw that with, lad, a donkey's dongler?"

 

On another thread, you tell me where you live. Any good pubs out your way where we could meet to reminisce and catch up on the last 40+ years?

Hollandisms continued :

 

" For all those little mannekins ( first years ) who have not yet heard rumours of me ?

Let me tell you that I am much worse "

 

" Anyone late with their homework will be flogged until they bleed "

 

" Hearson ! " ( Kevin) who was misfortunate to have been ogling the Girls netball practice via the nearby window .....

 

" Get out into that yard lad , and perform netball with Miss Semmens ( netball teacher ) which He duly did . as if He had a choice. He was run ragged , but never stopped smiling.

 

Kevin H was , and hopefully still is , an extremely pleasant lad who's natural hangdog expression , then subsequent grin , still reminds me of Paul Newman in the Film " Cool Hand Luke "

 

Some Guys ( and Gals) whom attended Waltheof had a pretty tough upbringing , maybe the harshness of the regime was to help prepare us for future life's ups and downs , putting it mildly ?

Nar then, ex Waltheofian,

 

What about Ben's "That's another one for the chop", as he marked inspecting of the line bisection. I bet he had an image in his mind of a perfectly bisected posterior. Historical abuse? We'll never know.

 

Merry Christmas, me old mucker.
