I understand stylee is a modern usage from the internet - just trying to get with it with the groovy kids !

Wasn't allowed to continue chemistry at school for the last two years there.
Teachers felt there were certain parts I was taking too much intrest in.

Our (excellent) chemistry said to a friend of mine in exasperation "Jonathan, you're just a waste of chemicals!".
Jon was a bright lad to be fair, but was in the process of dropping out of A level chemistry

That doesn't surprise me at all.How many labs test tubes did you blow up?

Not that many! We only had five of them to begin with.

Ours said to me after just six weeks - IIRC we had just got onto valencies - "You don't really have a clue about any of this, do you?" They were assuming that I would have the same scientific ability as my older brother.
So off I went to do Classics* Greek, Latin and Ancient History and <cough> have never looked back.

*Edited at Classic33's request. It wasn't that sort of school.

Do you mind rewording that last part, before people start talking!

I'm just old enought to have had a practical demonstration of the thermite reaction at school. But not quite old enough to have done the speed of sound experiment using a thunderflash. (banned a couple of years previously at my school).

Just saying.

Stylee is far from modern. I came across it in the early eighties which predates the Internet.
