I got a bollocking at school for not taking one of my mock A levels seriously....I was bang to rights as the teacher handing out the telling off had asked me on the morning of the exam what happened at The Valley the night before, and I gave him a blow by blow account of the Hales-Flanagan punch-up.
we did this with my boy for the Man Utd FA Cup game, school called me on the way there and asked why he was off i replied "his been having issues sleeping, the Dr recommended it goes to the Theatre of Dreams" never got anything back on it, guy who called laughed said have a nice time and that was that.
A few years back my boss called me into his office the day after I had pulled a "sickie". I was already in a bit of a state due to the hangover I was suffering with. He told me to have a seat. He brought out his laptop where he had the highlights of the previous days England cricket match from the oval. He had it paused on a still image of me with a pint in my hand and my other hand raised in the air. He said well what have you got to say for yourself? I said I was gutted, if the camera had been on me just a split second earlier it would of shown I had caught the ball. Got a Verbal warning for that.

It was a Saturday game
Some private schools still do Saturday classes, don’t they?

Back when we were good. The club organised airplanes to the Middlesbrough FA Cup game. Not wanting to miss out I made up a story to my then manager why I was going to have the morning off. I hadn't been in the job long and didn't know the people well enough to know how the ground rules about bunking off work. Anyway queuing up I noticed a film crew, I did everything, (I thought), to not to get my face on TV. Watching the BBC local London News that evening there was me in close up. Next day at work they laughed at my poor effort and they put me straight on what the protocol was when important things come up. "Just say you're going to late because you have things to do." Best place I ever worked, nice people who understood the important things in life.
I yused 2 bunk off skool to go away gaims, i doubt its hass eny nagative afect on my future lif. I'm fully behind that young lads parents decision, life should be full and fun especially when your young.
Before new Wembley was built my old bloke used to take me the length of the country following England . Skipt school a few times but was well worth it and probably learned more in that time. I’ll be doing the same with my son if there’s an event he shouldn’t miss.

Euro 96 we had tickets for all the England games. On the afternoon of the Netherlands game, at about 2PM, my bosses (who were both Addicks), looked up and one said "If you are going to the match tonight it's about time you were off isn't it mate?". Bless 'em - they understood...

When I was just starting out in my long slog of a working life an old wise fellow said to me,"if you go and work somewhere and its good and people enjoy it and has a few perks. Don't get comfortable with it, it won't last. You will be on the back end of something good and there will be someone who will spoil it and put a stop to the enjoyment". By and large after 45 years at work I realise he was spot on in virtually every place Ive worked. This place I'm at now will be my last before I shuffle off to gods waiting room. 2 weeks ago we had a Christmas party where there was absolutely no alcohol, what a soulless place.
Remember a school trip to France from which I was excluded.
I had to sit in a library while everyone else was in France, I was so confused and dejected because a nasty piece of work teacher labelled me a problem. The feeling of being against the world took hold and I have never really got rid of it.
Coming down from Stockport, I had to keep my kids off school with a sickness bug to take them to a midweek game at Wembley, might have been England v Spain a good few years ago.
On the walk up Wembley Way, a TV reporter with his camera came up to my daughter, who was about 10, in full England regalia, and started to film and ask questions. (Her twin brother was gutted as the reporter ignored him)! My daughter thought she was a film star!
A little later I started getting loads of messages from people saying they had seen Eleanor on the 6pm BBC news including one from my wife informing me that she had received an email from the kids teacher asking us to call in tomorrow for a chat! Proper bollocking lol.

Did you go up on the coaches or the three trains that CASC run that Saturday. We took 10,000 up that day unlike the league cup game were we just took a handful up.
League cup game we lost 5-1 Peter Hunt.got our goal.
Someone I knew was an Aston Villa supporter. He was determined to see Villa play a midweek game at Old Trafford (it may have been Anfield). He phoned in sick and duly made his way to the game. What he didn't realise was that his boss was attending a meeting/conference in Manchester and was sitting three or four rows behind him. His boss chose not to let on at the game. He saw his boss two or three days later in the office. "Did you manage to get over that stomach bug?" his boss asked. "Yes, not too bad in the end, thanks", he replied. "Is your doctor in Manchester?" the boss asked. At that, he turned green and replied, "I think the stomach bug has returned. I feel sick". The boss took it well and just made him take a day's leave.

I am so glad my days of working for idiots are over (fingers crossed). Tragically the best job I ever had finished when the boss died. Hope you get out of that place sooner rather than later and have many happy years to enjoy your retirement.
It's pictures of him topless in a pub on his 16th pint of Newkie Brown Ale, smoking a woodbine that got him really in trouble though...
It certainly would get him into trouble - probably exiled from Geordieland for life. NBA is only ever drunk from a half pint glass. It is then regularly topped up from the bottle to maintain the head.
I got a bollocking at school for not taking one of my mock A levels seriously....I was bang to rights as the teacher handing out the telling off had asked me on the morning of the exam what happened at The Valley the night before, and I gave him a blow by blow account of the Hales-Flanagan punch-up.
Ha, I had an identical bollocking for my mock A levels for the same game.

Funny though.
Though he probably comes from London anyway.
Unfortunately he didn't get found out as a result of our celebrations.
He said well what have you got to say for yourself? I said I was gutted, if the camera had been on me just a split second earlier it would of shown I had caught the ball.
