Nuns!! How we hated them all!! The only day at school that penguins were not chocolate covered!!! I can remember a time when we had a nun taking us for maths, (sorry Miss SUMS!) There was a girl called Pat Y***g in my class that was not very popular as she was a bit of a bully and came from one of those families we were always told to keep away from!! I went to sit down on my bench when she pulled it away and I ended up crashing to the ground and hitting my head on the desk behind me and I said my very first swear word! "Damn!"" The nun heard me and marched across and picked me up from the floor with the help of my left ear (lughole in school language) and marched me to the front of the class. "This boy has blasphemed" she stormed in a quaint Irish brogue "And has to be punished" With that she proceeded to swipe me across the bare knuckles with the edge of a 12 inch ruler. That was my first lesson in Christianity. After that I tended to keep away from Relgious Knowledge!!!! They say school days are the happiest days of your life..............who were they trying to kid? But I did eventually get promoted to milk monitor!! And what a job that was, going out in the freezing cold to lug those heavy crates in, breaking the ice off the tops of the bottles with the lids about an inch from the top!!
