Title: Last Day At School Post by: dell boy on Friday, May 23, 2008, 14:37:32 It's my daughters last day at school today (except for exams of course).
This morning about 13/14 of her girlfriends were round my place, all dressed up either as scuba-divers or lifeguards. Then about 10 of the lads arrived dressed in beach gear with surfboards, off they went in their cars, hooters and music blazing for the start of a great day, down the pub at lunch time and parties tonight. Never did this in my day, or my eldest sons come to think of it, is this the norm now, seems a very American thing to me. Sound flipping good fun though.

At new college peoples classes ended at different points, depending on the subject, class, teacher etc. So it was all a bit staggered and less of an event. Still think we found a day to get proper battered before the exams kicked in properly. And there parties throughout the summer.

wow its sounds like fun! Sometimes we were allowed to bring in board games on the last day of term - but not hungry hippos as it was too noisy - Or Kerplunk as people used to steal the marbles Title: Last Day At School Post by: dell boy on Friday, May 23, 2008, 14:53:40 Quote from: "flammableBen" I take it as they're driving this be 6th form?

Some of their cars have been egged in the car park by lads from another school who just arrived when they were all inside the school, the compliment has apparently been returned three-fold, oh dear, hope it calms down a bit.

At my secondary the last day was, amongst pupils, known as 'muck up day'. The highlight was the son of a farmer bringing sheep in and setting them free on the neat and tidy cricket pitch. bubbles in the foantain http://photos-225.ll.facebook.com/photos-ll-sf2p/v78/99/42/505330225/n505330225_473677_64.jpg fish in the water http://photos-225.ll.facebook.com/photos-ll-sf2p/v78/99/42/505330225/n505330225_473678_248.jpg fake speed camera erected http://photos-g.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v50/3/89/502987047/n502987047_5006_7182.jpg ice cream van ordered http://photos-h.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v50/3/89/502987047/n502987047_5007_7528.jpg halfords-carpark-esque rave in front of main building http://photos-f.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v50/3/89/502987047/n502987047_4925_9388.jpg pictures of prefects edited http://photos-a.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v48/76/16/202909451/n202909451_30684952_2205.jpg a blow up penis http://photos-b.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v48/76/16/202909451/n202909451_30684953_2512.jpg dig at the headmaster http://photos-h.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v48/76/16/202909451/n202909451_30684951_1853.jpg the best was someone putting a couple of trout in the air con vents Title: Re: Last Day At School Post by: Matchworn Shirts on Friday, May 23, 2008, 15:41:57 Quote from: "dell boy" Sound flipping good fun though.

Which was fine until it rained and ruined the Nintendo, the TVs etc Title: Last Day At School Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Friday, May 23, 2008, 16:07:55 Quote from: "Si Pie" Quote from: "Jamiesfuturewife" I get ID'd every day of my life - I got ID'd going into the Shayne Ward concert last night They just couldn't believe someone in their late twenties was going to a gig full of 11 year olds probably I prefer the term "mid twentys" myself?

At least you're not in denial about going to a concert full of 11 year olds. One day you will learn to embrace getting older :wink: Title: Last Day At School Post by: Rich Pullen on Friday, May 23, 2008, 16:49:48 My school's last day tradition was a flour, egg, anything you could throw fight.
