Famous people wot went to your skool

[Noodley]

[Trickedem]

Should we start calling you Sir Trickedem?

I couldn't resist the opportunity for some levity. The sad fact is the failed South London School I did attend, had far less interesting alumni.

Mrs S went to the same secondary as a certain Peter Kay.

Gary Lineker. The nice man of football. Clearly went to a school where behaviour and morals were important. Was told that he wouldn't amount to much, and to stop concentrating on football 'cos that won't be much use.
Emile Heskey. Came from a rough background, and I believe was expelled from his previous school, but has turned out OK - didn't get in to trouble like many of his team-mates have done.
Alistair Campbell. Oh well, there's always one bad egg!

My story is that I was on Prefect Duty one break time, making sure that 1-3rd year kids (Years 7-10 in new money) weren't inside when it was dry. There was this black kid who was inside, so I told him to go outside and play football. Turns out it was Emile Heskey. There are some truths in this story - I was a Prefect and did break duty, the main task of which was to send kids outside when they were trying to get inside, and EH would have been in the first year when I was doing this. Some of the other details may be fabrication.

Leelee Sobieski was in my French class. Mika Boorem was a couple of years below me.

Before my time, Jessica Biel, Claire Danes and Jodie Foster.

And, er, Natasha Nice.

(Warning - probably best not googled at work).

This smarmy git was in the year above me at school

You have our sympathies

Jugs?

More of a bust I think, she used to say that she wasn't sure Fnaar had his mind on the clay when she came home.















Shrine, what shrine, it's only pictures. Doesn't everyone devote an entire wall of their bedroom to Cheryl?

srw thought you might have been in the same house as him, he's too embarrassed to own up

OK, I give up. Who is he?

Wayne Rooneys' slimmer brother?

As for my previous school(s), the only person that springs to mind is Stephen "Cat" Coore; founder member of the reggae band Third World, who had a record that got to #10 in the British charts in 1978......

Hmmmm; nice! (Well someone was going to google it ).

And, er, Natasha Nice.

(Warning - probably best not googled at work).

The school used to do mixed grade sports in a local park. I took her out with an exceptionally poor sliding tackle when playing football once.

Me

First thing that came into my head but I felt sure someone would have beaten me to it

As far as I'm aware the only person who went to my school was England and Arsenal physio Gary Lewin. Unsurprisingly thin on the ground celebrity wise and if anyone achieved anything is was despite the school rather than because of it. Summed up by the attitude of the Deputy Head who, taking history, simply wrote everything on the board from a book and everyone had to copy it down. One inspiring English teacher couldn't really save it. Apologies for wandering off there...rant over.
