I also used to share a bus with Catholic Kids. The girls down the back were even worse.

'er indoors also went to a Cattalick school in Mogadishu/Mombasa (Kilidini) no viaduct to tarry on but a Ferry.


The Chinese are removing the existing Ferry & building a bridge for them which they won't be able to afford to pay back & China will have another country in it's debt. Mombasa being a strategically & well equipped large harbour.

Ah, yes! The State School yokels and churls. I suppose, Ian, that you oft frequented that local den of iniquity, namely, the Rollerdrome! -_-

Nah, I couldn't skate to save my life. I was more drawn to the amusement arcade a couple of hundred yards south.
Had I known it was a den of iniquity, I more than likely would have frequented said establishment. [bigwhistle]

Instead of which you subscribed to here your thinking being that they would all be the same.:Rolling:


Speaking of "War Cries" ours was "Catholic dogs jump like frogs in & out the teachers Gobs"


Reading that today it made no sense whatsoever, none. But I suppose we thought we were Wordsworths or Adam Lindsay Gordons & although being behind glass windows, thought we were unseen & oblivious to any retribution.
Mind you we never chanted that on arrival but only as we were leaving. As you do. I mean who really wants a house Brick put through the Bus window?


As a matter of some interest one of our "Gang" claimed vehemently that he was a nephew of the Late Captain of the then lost HMAS Sydney off WA, although his name was different but I suppose it could have been on his Mother's side. Have often wondered about that. I saw him selling Newspapers years later but of course he couldn't add anything to his claim. That couldn't have have happened until just recently. I hope he was happy with the result.

Alas, Chook, I fell into the pervasive clutches of Protestant hedonism, all due to having some of the aforementioned State School peons as good mates![wink11]
