Last Day At School

[dell boy]

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.

I take it as they're driving this be 6th form?

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.

I dress as a lifeguard every Sunday - its great fun  

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

Yes upper 6th, all 18-year-olds.


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.

my tutor bought all the drinks anyway, so I just sat out the way and drank just incase....although I never had a problem with ID and have only ever been ID'd once and that was few months back!

I got ID'd at Mex's club. I was well chuffed. until I told the bouncer I was 27 and he said yeah, don't worry about it then.

I get ID'd every day of my life - I got ID'd going into the Shayne Ward concert last night
