Tuesday, Second Lesson, I.T.

The bell went to signal second lesson of the day, which for me was IT (Information Technology).  Frazzy says IT stands for ‘Incapacitate Terminals’ which he likes to do by pouring Sprite[1] down the back of them.  He regrets this when the teacher, Mr Campbell, says that if we’ve finished our work we can load up ‘JCB Explosion Fatalities[2]’ on the computers and play that until break-time.  

JCB Explosion Fatalities - Level 1, "A-Bomb location"

We always start the lesson with a good chuckle at the size of the teacher’s nostrils and then we get to work scanning and printing dinner tickets.  Razzy sometimes scans in his genitalia but the computer doesn’t have that good a zoom function so the picture always comes out blocky.  Hazzy told me he saw them in the showers once and it hadn’t been zoomed at all, they were all blocky in real life!

I found a way of sending messages to other computers in the room. I sent a little box pop up which said “Take your glasses off and stand on them” to Lazzy, which he did.  I then sent one to Brian which said “Look out”, so he stood by the door and one which accidentally went to the teacher which said “Call that a haircut?”, and he sent one back which said “No, I call it Colin”.  

We all played games for the last ten minutes of the lesson.  Hazzy played kissy-catchy with himself.

The bell went for first break and I moseyed on down to the Music block.  The caretaker was fixing the door which had jammed after someone slammed a trumpet in it. We had to go round the outside of the school to get in from the back way but someone had slammed a flute in that door.  We all stood around outside watching Qazzy spray graffiti on the wall about how Mr Bladam and Mr Wigwam were meeting in secret in the staff toilets.  He didn’t have enough wall to explain why they were meeting, people were making their own stories up by that point anyway.  I heard one rumour saying they were meeting to discuss the offside rule. Dirty boys.
