His face was a look of pure panic as he still tried to turn the handle bars even though they were no longer connected to his bike. He then dropped the handle bars and tried to steer by grabbing the vertical bar and trying to steady the front wheel. He survived, other than that, it was very funny.

So off I went explaining what I thought spooning to be, and I was right in the middle of the sentence "And so they take a spoon and shove it into your ass and scoop anything out for the craic" just as the teacher was standing right behind me with a look of shock on her face ! I just wanted to melt into the ground it was that bad !

Present was everyone in my year (150+) and most of the teachers and staff. One lad was a decent singer and brought a guitar so we listened to him sing some mawkish pop tunes after the mass while some of the more emotional idiots cried. The weekend before this event I was at a girl's birthday party in some pub. It was karaoke night. I sang Yesterday by The Beatles becuase I was drunk and feeling class clownish. I must put emphasis on the fact that I can't sing at all, that was pretty much part of the joke of me going up and singing. A jolly good laugh was had by all. Anyway, at the graduation, the minstrel runs out of his merry tunes and asks for some requests. As a joke, somebody yells out my name. Someone else joins in. And another. Pretty soon everyone in my year and most of the teachers are chanting my name and stamping their feet like gorillas. I have no choice, I have to sing. Moments after opening my mouth it dawns on everyone fairly soon that I'm completely tone deaf and I don't even know the words of the fucking song. The smiles fade and are replaced by by pitying stares. The man with the guitar stops playing. Three verses into my made up lyrics I bow and move back to where I was sitting. Applause is muted and polite. Guitar man continues playing and I feel myself drowning in embarassment. God, I hated that fucking school.
