Nope, liar is fine. Will you be changing your username any time soon to Anthem of Bitterman?Anthem of Hope wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 2:01 pm My ex wife was a liar one big one too however I best qualify that with ( politically correct words " ecomonical with the truth" )
She went to Hornchurch Grammer and said Mike Oldfield was in her music class but she was better than him and she was better than his sister Sally ( I assume he did have a sister )
It may be true she was Grade 8 piano or whatever
My Math teacher looked like Bryan Ferry but with a lot more dandruff.
Clive Allen was at Gaynes but sadly after I had left, Guy by the name of Barry Diss had just left as well He had won the Essex inter schools cross country Running championship. My father was at school with the Actor Victor Madden, As for me my only claim to fame I was the last ever London based newspaper apprentice, and had worked for every newspaper in Fleet Street. I have also correctly predicted the winner of every English General Election since Super Mac, American ones didn't get Tricky DickieAnthem of Hope wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 2:24 pmMaxy my current troll to any post I put on here -Max B Gold wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 2:04 pmNope, liar is fine.

My left wing Scottish follow of hope to nowhere that he would go
No to your uninteresting question I will not be changing my name atm and I just checked Oldfield data and it said he moved to Harold wood and went to Hornchurch Grammer and he is the same age as my darling not
So yep she must be correct - but I am overjoyed I never see her again unless I am dragged back to Essex from oz screaming ( I miss and like Essex but I just do want to be in the same hemisphere as her )- she can go to the Anus of Hell - but I ain't bitter I am relieved to be free actually maxy matey
Ooh I forget to mention Ian Dury was a teacher at my old school in Upminster. Gaynes after I had left
61/66 may have met, you never knowAnthem of Hope wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 10:53 pm Yes - I remember now if my memory is correct watching Clive Allen playing a football match after I left at the school - I think it was against the local coopers school in Upminster my brothers school
Type H what year did you leave the school ?
