- or there again I could give all the gory details right here!
In 4th year our form room was the music room.
One particular morning I opened my desk and reached inside to get my stuff. But instead of touching a book , I felt soft fur , and soon realised I had a dead cat in my desk (luckily I hadn't taken off my bike clips)
Everybody who came in class got the same treatment.
I remember Paddy saying he'd kept it fresh in the fridge overnight. (Good job the cat wasn't bleeding or messy)
I had a mini-reunion a few years ago with a few of my class mates, and this was one thing we all remembered, so it made a lasting impression.
(paul hudson also mentioned it in an e-mail)
Hope you're all right Paddy-not seen you for 30 years. You were one of the great characters in our class ( and we had more than our fair share!)
