    One of my lecturers is an absolute dude, takes us out to the pub after lectures, buys us drinks, gets hammered and bitches about the other lecturers to us. :D

    Rob Beveridge, Media Studies lecturer at Edinburgh Napier University, he is great craic and one of the very best you can get for journalism studies.

    Damien Moore.
    Taught us Anologue Electronics in UL
    I remember one terribly wet and windy Friday morning he was our 9 am lecture, Out of a class of 100 there was 5 of us there.
    He took a look around and pulled out a sheet of paper and made us all wign it.
    He then said, you are all going to have to work very ****ing hard to fail this course.
    Which was nice cause it was a bitch of an exam :)

    I had a guy who I thought was a deadly teacher, but he got these headaches. I offered my opinion on them, but he just shouted "It's not a toomer!". He didn't last long.

    My old German teacher, absolute legend.

    Took us to Berlin on a 'cultural trip' and we drank green beer, went to the zoo and did loads of shopping, best trip ever.

    What a man.

    My secondary school Chemistry teacher. I was a disaster at the subject, just didn't get it at all. We didn't really know each other well until we met a few years after I'd left school and we...eh, set up a business together.

    He might regret that later if word gets back (and sometimes indeed it does) to someone he don't like!

    In school I think my 'coolest' teacher was my Mum

    And when your Mum is trying to be the 'cool' teacher in a classroom of 17 year olds who think it's hilarious when a middle aged woman tries to be trendy, it really ought to be considered a form of child abuse.

    Dr Mewburn-Crook my A-Level Physics teacher.
    He allowed me to bring in some blotting paper, shotgun cartridges, and diesel, to show the class how to make a pipe bomb.
    He seemed genuinely fascinated I knew how to do it, although he was too afraid to ask where I hard learned how to do it.
