foolfillment: the blog

There’s nothing like a school trip to take you away from the drudgery of the classroom. A day on a coach singing filthy songs, a mooch around a musuem somewhere and then back just in time for home-time. At our school, it didn?t work that way. School trips consisted of an afternoon at Sonning Farm, a visit so dire that even the most hardened skivers were dragged screaming onto the bus, begging for double maths.

…

Poor, sweet Helen, the quietest girl in the class, never one to push to the front of the crowd, was left standing far to close to Daisy?s arse than was absolutely safe.

?Oooh!? she said, in surprise and alarm. ?Ooooooh!!!!?

Her cries turned to screams when the rest of the class realised what was going on.

Subject to survey, I’ll be living here next year. The schedule will be taken down sometime soon but I don’t know when.

repeat as desired

guess who was at dinner tonight, sure beats the last lot, with a few exceptions.

Exams are all over now, nothing left to do but listen to the new Radiohead album (’s’no bad eh?) and read and stuff.

The big news of course is of course that the lock has had it’s lease taken over. Until Monday it was held by McEwan’s and had 70/-, 80/-, Export, Younger’s for the real men, Bud and Hoegarten for those with too much money but no taste, and Foster’s and Miller for the girls. Now though it’s all change and I think for the better in someways, (although the infection has spread) because the new brewer is my very own local Belhaven, which means Best, Best extra cold and St Andrew’s and presumably they can get 80/-, Belhaven Scottish and Robbie Burns. Good eh?

i’m still here, are you?

Way back when I was sitting my Standard Grades I made a compilation tape of some of the stuff I was listening to then to help me through revision (hah, sounds so pathetic now!) and I called it Revision and Blues, a fairly obvious play on words that I spent a lot of time thinking up/wasting time over. The next year I did the same for my Highers and called it, a little less imaginatively, Revision and Blues 2. I was on a roll then and had to make another by the time I was sitting my exams in 6th year. They always helped because I chose the songs carefully to be able to revise to, ones I knew really well so that if I found myself singing along I already knew the words so it didn’t distract me, songs that were soft anc calming. I always had good results with those tapes and this year is the first year that I haven’t made one up. Read into that what you want but I’m holding this story in reserve for if I stuff up miserably in this round of misery.

but the wardens all backed down.

What do you think? graybo likes Torness and I have to agree, kind of.

As you no doubt know I’m no stranger to the stars, having met Thabo Mbeki, David Sole, Pat Nevin and Pieter van den Hoogenband to name a few, but tonight I surpassed all of those. In fact Kevin Gallagher and Matt Elliot are standing outside of my window now. Yes that’s right the ’stars’ of Scottish football were out in force tonight as the Scotland Under 16s (or something) trained at Garscube estate, right by my halls. Walter Smith could be seen chatting away to his successor David Moyes on the touchline with Bob Malcolm just afew yards away with Alex Smith, behind them sat John Collins, Jackie MacNamara, Mixu Paatelinen and a host of others. I think the lonesome figure of Gordon Durie could be seen on the other side of the pitch collecting loose balls but I may have been mistaken. Unfortunately I didn’t have my camera so you’ll just have to take my word for it. (Even if I had had it do you really think I’d be able to take photos of that lot without feeling faintly ridiculous?)

It’s quite a collection for the future of Scotland to be working with and if it’s something Berti has initiated then it’s the first good thing he’s done as far as I’m aware. I’ve criticised his work with the first team in the past but maybe he is structuring the youth setup well and for that we have to be grateful.

We do still need someone else in charge of the top team though - maybe Walter? As long as it isn’t Tommy Burns we’ll be fine. Here’s to Saturday.
