I dont feel guilty, they try and make me feel guilty. (I worded the other post wrongly)

I just tell them where to go. *******

Went to Independent CBS school, but the council paid as they don't have a Catholic Grammar. Got outta there first chance I got, to the local authority grammar - non-denominational, co-educational.

If I have kids, and am able to afford it, they'll be going a co-ed, non-denomination school. I'd pay for the lack of religious doctrine and religious zealots.

Catholic Diocesan College. Public but boarders paid. Have to say the religious had damn all impact there. Or at least i never felt like i was being preached to. Even looking back it seemed to be pretty unbiased anyway. As regards the priests, some of them were total knobs but so too were some of the lay teachers. From what i gather every school has 'em. Don't see much point in using their vocation as a means to slate them. It was intriguing to see how supposed holy men were dishing out slaps on a regular basis. Some of them were right hotheads.

Talking about my families experiences with these people of God. If that's their fookin religion, they can fookin stick it. Won't be sending a child of mine into that environment if I can possibly help it. btw It wasn't abuse - just their attitude and what they value as important in the general scheme of things.

What's boarding actually like? Is it like Harry Potter?! All amusing scrapes, and heroic adventures agaisnt the evil Malfoy equivalent? Or not?

You must have 24 hour internet access there anyway the time you're on here!

And shar the class-rooms are grand for a game of dodgeball, what is it now-
4 years in the school and 10 lights broken and maybe a window or 2

Not sure, my personal tally is one of those long flourescent lights. And of course the hole in the wall

, but that was non-sport related.

Can't believe they never caught me for that?

Went to a public school called St.Vincents in Glasnevin in Dublin. Had a great GAA tradition, at one stage 7 of the Dublin team had gone to my old school. Currently I think that 5 of the team went to Vincents. Was a grand oul place, most of the teachers were cool and looked after ya. Decent Sports facilities too, had a pool, huge gym and huge sports field so can't complain in that regard!

I was in St.Vincents for 1st and 2nd class, years ago! 1987-1989 I think, could be wrong there, thats back in my Glasnevin days!

Its nothing like that sh!te

Its just pure messing all day every day, breaking things, ripping paint/wallpaper off walls, annoying the people in charge, staying up really late and scraping yourself outta bed the next morning, falling asleep in class the next morning, its great craic most of the time.

You must have 24 hour internet access there anyway the time you're on here!

I dont actually, so Im on da net all day at weekends and when I'm on holidays

One thing you had to give the boarders was their ability to come up with insane games. Some of the dressing rooms used to be of 'old shed' construction in our school. One game involved two lads hanging out of a rusty metal trust going from one wall to another and knocking the living sh!t out of each other. Much better than watching the 'fights' at the gate that either never happened or were over in 15 seconds.

Thats class. Some of the stuff that the lads come up with is brilliant alright.

State of those lads
