Pranks

Have any of you got any?

I was told at the City of Norwich School that I could have been Head Boy but for my foray into rather a lot.

The honour went to a son of the deputy head who went on to do rather well.

He was a brilliant bassoon player.

I got into serious trouble after a sixth form concert (I wrote most of it).

The Masters had their own bike sheds and they secured their bikes with (mostly) number locks.

I could pick them with ease. Just tug them apart and watch them click into place.

But I did a bit of a swap around. I also retrieved the woodwork master's bike. It was just like a "sit up and beg" Cambridge one with the usual wicker on the handlebars.

After my joke about the call girl and the lampost I produced said conveyance and proceeded to conduct an auction.

I wheeled it out.

What will you bid for this? It was found in the bike shed with "a little basket on it".

I was in the Headmaster's study shortly after.

The redirection of traffic through my former wife's training establishment using signs nicked from the building of the M6 was rather good. I denied I knew anything about that when the Police asked me in for questioning.

In my last year of uni, we were a house of five and our other mates from first year lived a block away (four of them). I forget all the examples, but a bit of a prank war started between us ... well, all but the sensible girl over at theirs.

I remember the more 'destructive' stuff like falling buckets of water, rotting carton of milk, dead squirrel. The one I submitted was more subtle. I signed them up for all kinds of potentially embarrassing literature but made the address their neighbours' so they'd have to hand Erik his info about bed wetting, Marc his info about erectile dysfunction, etc. etc. (Only really works when the neighbours actually know each other, and I think theirs were an older family on one side and seniors on the other side.)

I arranged to have the Rugby town clock to go decimal in 1971.

Only 10 hours to the day instead of 12. Got into the papers.

I was at school with the grooms brother, Bufty, tremendous bloke. He was head of my house. Buggered me senseless. Still, tought me a lot about life

But not how to spell

Even a 12 hour day's a bit on the short side, tbf.

OK. but I did say "day" and not day and night.

Took me ages to get that done. A uni pal was a mountaneer. He went up the tower like a rocket and dropped a line so that three of us could get up to the clockface.

Both of us. We were up there on a parapet and a ruddy police car came and parked outside the bookshop right underneath. He was there for ages, eating a sandwich, I think.

We were stuck and the legs started shaking. The old glucose levels had shrunk considerably.

As soon as he drove off, we got down asap. I really wish I'd taken a photo I could share. I've got the newspaper articles somewhere in the loft.

My back is playing up big time. So no ventures up the ladder.
