You no longer wipe your arse until you've finished, you wipe until you've had enough.

Behave. Thats just dirty. And not in a good way

You no longer wipe your arse until you've finished, you wipe until you've had enough.

 

Éeeeeugh.

 

Alternatively, in this good weather, don't wipe it at all, just air it.

 

Go into the garden with your kecks around your ankles, lie face down on the grass and pull your bum cheeks apart. Do this for 10 minutes or until the police arrive, whichever is sooner.

[Bogman]

[Champ]

it's complete bollocks.

 

The whole thing? 

We never had anything when I left school...and doubt I would have gone anyway...but I do think there is a half way house to mark an ending properly. Just not at hundreds of pounds expense.

I think we had a "prom" but I was one of the cool kids, so obviously I swerved it to get fucking drunk and finger girls in the park.

Not knowing what a prom is.

Was speaking to my friend who lives outside Birmingham last night who was talking about her kids. I have no idea what these numbers are either

[Jairzinho]

What's year 13?

 

Upper 6th in old money.

 

17/18 year olds.

When we left school it was a case of writing obscenities on everyone's shirt and then down the park for a session on cider, mad dog and 20-20 with a few fights and sticky fingers thrown in on top.

What's wrong with 6th form?

Which is kind of what took place in the grounds at my kids school and flour and egg fights but without the drinking until the daft head banned it as it reflected badly on the school so now they go into the local woods and do as you describe. Idiot

Yep.
