I never had a teacher like you - no wait I did!! How could I forget Mr Ryan!!!
He used to swear in class (the whole fucking basket too, not just shit and hell) and was an ex-priest who had lost his faith. He made us watch a film with lots of sex and a backstreet abortion in it for Bursary English (Shadowlands) and read a book with sex in it too (I never did finish it though, it was so depressing - Waiting for the Barbarians by Coetzee).
I should point out that this wasn't at the Catholic school, it was at the Anglican one ;-)
also RSJS has done something hideously badly evil to your main url. just thought you should know.
Ah, the evils of not closing tags properly. Fixed, and I'll give Jellybean a wet willy for it next time I see him. Wait, that doesn't soudn right.
Mr Ryan at Kristin School? If so, you are 100% correct, he was the original Apathy Jack.
