Yes. We threw them away, that's right. Threw them away.

Yeah, we believe you..

I remember, back in the 80's when I was a studying Mech Eng, going to a Uni party hosted by the Civil Engineers in a rented student house.
The front room of the house wasn't big enough for everyone to mingle properly and so they cut the wall out to open the front and back rooms into one. The electrical sockets were left sticking out of the floor, wrapped up in carrier bags and chairs placed over them. The wall was in one large piece in the front garden! I guess, as Civil Engineers they must have worked out that it wasn't a load bearing wall.

At the Mechanicals party I served up a dish of Go-Cat (there was a cat in the house) along side the peanuts, Bombay mix and Twiglets. It all got eaten (though probably not by the cat!).

Go-cat and bombay mix ... then

That Bombay mix is a bit

I don't believe that, Colin. Coventry doesn't have a posh bit!

I meant posh by Coventry standards, not posh by London standards! (5 or 6 bedrooms, 2 or 3 bathrooms, large private gardens - that was enough to impress me in those days.)

I'm slightly ashamed to admit that when I was 17, I was at a party just like that (I didn't get involved in the vandalism, but I didn't leave* either) ... family photos were taken out of their frames, had moustaches (etc) drawn on them and were replaced, food was chucked about, someone blocked the loo with bog paper and it flooded till it began dripping down through the kitchen ceiling, the drinks cabinet was raided 'early doors', a window went, somewhere, kitchen i think. The parents came home, called the police from call box before coming in (I think someone was riding a motorbike round the front lawn).

I've just remembered that my niece's 18th went pear-shaped too ... Food, fags, vomit and beer on the carpets were bad enough, but one evil party-goer took the back door key and came back in the middle of the night and burgled the house!

Haven't watche dit all either, but it vaguely reminds me of a time when we had a very very camp English teacher. He walked out of the room once, when the class was making so much chatty noise that his teaching was basically going unnoticed. A plan was hatched... when he walks back through the door, we all chuck rolled up paper, apple cores etc towards the door as he enters. Plan worked a treat. What we hadn't bargained on was that he was going to bring the headmaster with him. *oops*

Funny - I used to think so too!

I often wonder how my life would have turned out if my bike hadn't been stolen from school when I was 13. I would not have had a 20 year break from cycling, might have joined a local cycling club, maybe even competed ...
