Go on - what would you have done differently at CH if you knew then what you know now?! Hopefully you don't regret whatever it is too much - it's just part of that great learning curve called life.

If I'd known then that permanent marker stays on skin a lot longer than you think it's going to...

wow! don't think i can beat that! don't they use human hair for really high class dolls or something?Jenny L-C wrote:If I'd known I could have sold my hair for over £100 I wouldn't have thrown it in the bin!! Damn it!
i probably would have done more wheeling/dealing. not drugs obviously (the market was already saturated ), just petty stuff outlawed by petty rules. tho can't think what atm.
worked harder obvious, i know. but ever-true.
i would have unionised the students. then watched the SMT squirm as they debated to ban it (thus instantly increasing its popularity 10-fold), or let it run and gain numbers steadily. hindsight. frustrating thing.
started a juggling club. i can't believe somewhere with the resources of CH doesn't already have one.

That was Mr Dougal - the maths teacher ! We always used to joke that he was a clown but it was TRUE ! He must have been the only bloke ever to have run AWAY FROM the circus to become a maths teacher ?!!! Answers on a postcard as to why...
My therapist says I have a preoccupation with vengeance. We’ll see about that.

one of the current grecians has been given 500 quid from an old blue to set a circus skills club up, she's been sitting on it for months now and to my knowledge hasn't done anything with it.
if i'd been given a budget that big, there'd be no stopping me! [he sits back and dreams of poi, diablos, devil sticks, clubs, blades, fire toys, stilts, unicycles.....]
another thing i'd do differently: learn to skateboard. the long, gentle, meandering slopes of swansea are perfect for longboarding.

Don't think I would have done too much different (apart from making better efforts not to get caught for crimes).
There is one barsteward (he calls himself a university professor) in NZ who, as a monitor put me in the Sicker for a couple of days with facial "problems". I should have got even then - but he and I are still alive .....
Other than that I for one got away with metaphorical murder (dropping boys off the roof of Lamb A in front of masters, rockclimbing many Saturdays and Sundays (sleeping in the open overnight), out to see the girlfriend (totally prohibited at the time).
The alternatives to behaving were pretty awful - borstal (= floggery) or expulsion and when you don't have a family, home ......

What happens if a politician drowns in a river? That is pollution.
What happens if all of them drown? That is solution!!!

On a more serious note - if I had know then that you CAN stand up to authority, contest it and , with enough determination, WIN : I would have stood up to Auntie Dot when she made me change my A-levels, thereby removing any incentive to study, which in turn led to dropping out of Uni through totally apathy.... of COURSE I regret it!Deb GP wrote:Go on - what would you have done differently at CH if you knew then what you know now?!

Luckily, that kind of academic despotism seems to be a thing of the past...
