Did Deman just call Ditty an Oik?

Yeah...   the dots on the knuckles... or love and hate on the knuckles and stuff.

Girls as well as the boys.    Ooooh they must look even lovelier now!

Lovely and smudgy, even when new.
A popular one was "ACAB" (all coppers are bastards) or just the dots, which meant the same thing.

Nooooo!    Cos I haven't got a bic biro & compass tattoo.... actually Duckypup!  

Oooh.....full name. I'm in trouble

They didn't hand out compasses at my school..we had to provide our own.

I wish they had...I wouldn't have got stabbed quite so often....

*grabs tail feathers*

*snogs passionately*

*releases tail feathers*

If someone can invent a way to draw a circle that doesn't involve a deadly weapon they'll make a fortune.

Did you just kiss my ass?

NoooooO!

I reached around!

Draw round a polystyrene cup!  Not plastic, that might hurt if chucked...and obviously no hot drinks in said cup...but oh no, polystyrene isn't very green is it...and you have to be careful or the line goes wonky.  dimELLA!

Cups might work ....... not polystyrene though. They will chew them, and choke on the little polystyrene balls.

Wonky lines aren't a problem though..... have you ever seen a teenager try and use a compass?  They can't do circes but are pretty nifty at drawing the perfect spiral. 

My mate stuck a compass in a plug socket on the desk in the science lab...luckily cos of the high wooden stool the current passed through her before it threw her off the chair and blew all the electrics in that particular wing on the school.

Our science teacher decided to demonstrate the lighted splint  in a test tube of hydrogen (makes a pop)  experiment on a larger scale using a large plastic (gallon?) container instead of a test tube.

It didn't pop though, it bloody exploded - all the front bench of pupils in the lab got blown off their stools and all the classes from miles around came running. We all had to have our hearing tested afterwards - my best friend got  a perforated ear drum.


If that happened nowadays, I'm pretty sure the parents whose kids were affected in some way would have sued the school/teacher for being so irresponsible.

Probably...now hands up who dropped phospherous on the desk and burned it?

Is that the one stored under water or something... that ignited on contact with the air?

If so that was one that was a teacher demo only.   We weren't allowed near that one!  (not surprising really, considering tippex & compasses were a no no)

That's the one!

You couldn;t touch it you just had a little bit on the end of a scalpel...

Our teacher let the mercury out of the jar, to run all over the desk in little beads - which we touched
He also used to let us sniff the ether and chloroform

My daughter bit the end off a thermometer when she was about 6...I had to get her to spit the mercury and broken glass into my hand!

Theres not enough in one to do any damage though...so the poisons unit at Guys assured my local hospital.

hahahaha!   A few weeks after I started working in the lab, the bloke who would become my bessie work buddy took me for "proper" tour of the labs.   Basically sniffing all the good stuff... ether, chloroform... and amyl nitrate (the best bet antidote for cyanide poisoning)....  I went home with a serious headache!

Stored under oil. If you put a bit of it in water, it would fizz like crazy

Oh I've done that!

But that was in Ibiza

Nice...  Ether smells luscious, like Victory V sweets.

 

lol.... yeah, I've done it in my youth too!    Was surprised to see it at work.

Funniest thing I have ever seen at an after club party back at someones house.... we were in the kitchen.. the house was rammed... it was one of those victorian terraces where the bathroom is off the kitchen....

Some bloke off his face came staggering out of the bathroom and looked at us, held up a bottle of tea tree essential oil and said "aahhhh just found a bottle of amyl in there... result".... and then covering one nostril took the biggest sniff from the bottle!

We laughed til it hurt.... he was running round the back garden screaming holding his face!
