15 Minutes Of Fame
I used to do skydiving as a youth. Now and then we did demo jumps into central London.
On this occasion I was meant to land in Battersea Park but had a canopy malfunction, cut
away the chute, and eventually landed under my reserve in the Thames. The special guest
at 'Thames day' was Prince Charles who had a chat to me afterwards and it was apparently
mentioned in the local TV news.
Best Memories Of Salvo
1, Screaming around the redgra in the go-karts.
2, The parties after school plays, especially the one with St Dominic's girls school!
3, Being trusted with the school master key and abusing the privilege.
Worst Memories Of Salvo
Being confronted by that fruit Bayross after I beat up Kevin Corbett.
Most Liked Teachers
Tufty,
Mr. Whittaker.
Most Disliked Teachers
Doc Lewis,
in his pram, and the bastard who 'taught' me A level math's, his name is too
deeply buried in my subconscious.
