    BIT<HFORD

    Mid Eighties - In making smalltalk with her, I mentioned some situation where I would have been told to "Go to the office" by another teacher, but then the end of schoolday bell rang. She replied "Bhí tú sabháilte" (You were saved).

    Then in her class, I did some infraction. The end of school bell rang. She did'nt say to "Go to the office".....but the following morning when she saw me for class, the first question out of her mouth was "Did you go to the office?"

    For first year, third year and fourth year students she had no real connect with the students and was a jobsworth (boy school)

    Some of us most certainly do. They would put the ones here to shame because we are the mature adults of course :pac:

    I am so tempted.
    Not so long ago I told a colleague what I (privately) called one of my students. To be clear, I had never said it out loud before I told her, it existed as a nickname only in my imagination.
    She went home and told her kids! They thought it was hilarious and it has entered their family lexicon.

    Bottler - long before Brendan Grace, but the name might have been known more widely than our school. Apparently someone thought he looked like a long bottle.
    Noddy - cruel because he had a twitch
    Johnny - no idea
    LeatherLips - good job it wasn't a girls school, he was a young French teacher , who despite being Irish, looked very French and was young.
    BillyBones - after the cruel pirate, richly deserved.
    Killer, alliterative name but also apt, he used to kill us. (metaphorically:pac:)

    I'd suspect no one under 60 will recognise these. Aside from having to be a past pupil...

    I’d imagine the likes of fingers and monkey, joe and jim would be retired alright. Do you know which caretaker used to mop pish off the floors of the jacks, then use that same mop to clean the tabletops in the assembly area?

    The older nicknames were a bit more aggressive I suppose.

    Long Tom (very tall FCA Captain), Shine, Dicky Rasher (because he was as thin as a rake), Murt, McCavity, Dingle, RightSo (his favourite phrase), Trom agus Eadroim ( an Irish teacher who had two leathers, heavy and light), Fab Vinnie and a few other psychopaths and antisocials, including several alcoholics (Butsey)

    Butsey was a harmless ol' soul, in the middle of a class he'd randomly instruct everyone to "Bí ina chodladh" so you had to fold your arms on the desk and bury your face into the timber. Then he'd pull out the naggin of whiskey from his inner jacket pocket and have an ol' swig.

    Maurice was another dipso but he couldn't handle it like Butsy, he'd drink himself into oblivion and lose all interest altogether in teaching by about 1 o clock.

    Queenie Long was the most persecuted teacher that I ever saw, his biro stopped working one day and without thinking he says "For God sake has anyone a spare biro?"
    It was like an apache attack, in about 2 seconds there was 34 biros hopping off him and whizzing past him as he tried to duck.

    The Wretch was a big posh rugby player, I met him about 10 years ago and had a good laugh with him.

    The French teacher was called "Vite!" and poor old Brother Billy the religion teacher must have been in his eighties, I'd say they used just let him out of the monastery for a walk and a bit of air.

    Happy days.

    That man was a , ahem, not my favourite teacher (assuming its the same one, a Brother). I left in '71.

    Years after leaving, I spotted him crossing the road at Summerhill on my way to work. The lights were with me :pac: , but I slowed down. A guy in work said " you should have run him over" - and he didn't even go to OCS, but knew of yer man's reputation.
