What are your opinions on them?
I hear that at one point people wanted to ban them but are you guys anti them, don't give a toss or all-out in their favour?

Not bothered either way.

I know quite a few really good lads that went to public schools, but also quite a few posh dickheads.

I've not met many people from public schools, but the ones I have met have generally been dickheads who are so far removed from reality it's laughable.

I wouldn't get rid of them though, as I think the above is more a result of upbringing than any school system.

Location: Eton  :)

I voted for Option C.

They know their place, we know ours, it's how the world works.  Don't question the status quo (or any other naff 60's/70's/80's/90's guitar based rock bands) :wink:

Well....!
I am just always very conscious of the fact as some people can be quite hostile on the topic, and stereotype public school people as arrogant - glad to see that most of the people here don't mid too much. to be honest there are some INCREDIBLY arrogant people here - but then again it's not as if you can only be arrogant if you go to these schools, and indeed many people are not, it's just the arrogant ones making such a racket that gives the bad impression that sticks.
Worst part is only being able to see STFC games a couple of time a season! at least i can make the game this w/e

I know a few people who go to Dauntsey, which is probably the shithole of all public schools, but they're okay.

Having said that I've met people from that kind of background who are so far up their own arse they need a glass stomach to see where they're going!

Dont really mind the schools to be honest. They have their education, we have ours.

I went to one.  If the state system was so crap in certain areas of the country i.e.: where I live, then they wouldn't be necessary.  Wiltshire (not Swindon I'm from Chippenham) had good state secondary schools, but Sussex (Crawley) is absolute crap looking in from the outside, and having a girlfriend who teaches in one.

Left to a state sixth form though, and went to a Primary school (Derry Hill!).   :D   Have to say in my experience, majority of people at public school were posh arrogant twats though, but some decent, down-to-earth people too.

What happened to that guy on thisisstfc.co.uk with the signiture: "Please don't make me the only poshie here".  He was from a posh school and pretty legendary.   8)

I think he was from Peterbough.

Which Public School did you go to Blinkpip?  Just wondering.

Walrus goes out with a teacher :soapy tit wank:, how old is she? 25? 30? 40?  :shock:

When  I read this ......, I thought....yes you're right mate.....but you'll get used to them, even O*ford_Fan  :wink:

 Then I realised you are actually at Eton.........shame not Harrow really as David Elleray.....blah blah.

my mate went to a public school and he's alright. i couldn't give a toss either way. Even if public schools did breed just arrogant twats (they aren't all like this) i still couldn't give a shit - state schools have their fair share of twats as well. I don't like to pre-judge people if i can help it

My girlfriend goes to public school  :oops:

are you seeing a "rich bitch" dave?

I live in Eton Wick which is right next to Eton (the name sort of gives it away).  We always give abuse to the college boys on our walk back home from the pub.  I remember seeing some gay walking down Eton highstreet with a town shirt on. Was it you?

No, not really. She is a bit posh though.



Probably you looking in a mirror  :wink:

i went to one. this one:

http://www.abingdon.org.uk/

i was alright. but i think there's a bit of a misconception amongst you lot (and people in general) about the kind of people that go there. i met some of the soundest people i'll ever meet at that school, you get all kinds too (and believe it or not, not everyone is minted).

Because there are always mirrors lying around in the middle of highstreets

Reflection in a shop window then?

Lets not let technicalities shadow the fact that we've uncovered that you're a great big poof.

...coming from Dave

I went to one. And I'm not posh. Or arrogant. Or rich, for that matter. You common bastards. It's people like you that keep my factories going.

Iffy little turn of phrase there Ticket.

The possibilities are endless...

status quo are amazin  8)
