What were you like as a kid?

[Dr LuKas]

What were you like when you were a kid, lets say in Primary School to narrow it down?

I was pretty loud and did almost anything for a laugh. I guess I was looked at as the comic relief, was popular and lively. But I was quieter in class, so I was kind of a C-student, even though we weren’t graded in those days. Not very smart not stupid.
I got into trouble quite a lot, but I wasn’t the worst behaved kid in school.
When I look back I reckon I had a good time, a really good laugh.

Sweet, innocent but lairy as hell. I also recall enjoying pastimes including rolling down grass banks, "stuck in the mud" and tree climbing.

My favourite lesson, I told my mother (apparently) was "break time" ;D

[Dr LuKas]

Yeah that was pretty much like me too. ;D

[Giar]

a rite pain in the arse, with a cheeky mouth that made Loads of my teachers run out crying
pissed about too much and didnt really do much work, but normally blagged my way through tests

even back then i was dashing as hell

Fairly conscientious but always a bit of a drama queen. Spent most breaktimes playing football with the boys. Always trying to make people laugh by dressing up and putting on voices.

A little angel at Primary School by all accounts. And a brainy, albeit lazy kid to boot

LOL sounds an endearing combination of slightly precocious and yet tomboyish! ;D

I had that literally kicked out of me in secondary school.

I wouldn't say I bear grudges for a long time, but despite being transparently bright, my handwriting was appalling when I was little (partly due to being left handed).

I remember this creative writing teacher saying to some kid "don't make fun of Julian, he's a bit slow!"

I have always wished I could meet that teacher again and berate her for doubting my intellectual might!!! ;D

well ok it might make me sound a bit of an arsehole... but it really pissed me off.

[Lollipop]

I was one of those people who always did their work and never messed about. But I was friendly and nice enough not to get bullied about being a swot etc lol. Teacher's loved me

[gt]

A lot happier with my lot back then. A hard worker, won a few academic prizes, good at football and cricket. Could be cheeky, but that’s part of being a kid.

Funny how times change

I went to an RC primary school and was generally involved in trouble, now I would call what I did bad. I would always flash my cheeky grin, but the nuns hated me. And seemed to enjoy hitting me with the ruler!

My best claim to fame was playing doctors with the girls, and someone grassed us up to the headteacher a nun. She called us in and was in retrospect clearly embarrassed she asked us all

How would your parents react if I contacted them regarding your behavior, our stock answer was probably kill us.

Well children, on this occassion consider yourselves told off, and I won't contact them. However any repeat performances and I'll be on the phone to them!

Lol I'd even do little errands for them, like go and photocopy sheets for them. I was in most of the after-school clubs too - like the school newspaper and the art club. I was on the Rounders team too! How ace is Rounders!

[gt]

Ah now I loved rounders. For a little lad I could whack the ball a hell of a long way ;D

[HURLOCK]

Rounders was great, used to love that
