how easy were you able to wangle days off school on the sick?

were your parents militant about you maintaining 100% attendance or were they happy for you to retire to your wanking-chariot at even the slightest sign of a cold?

did anyone actually do the old mashed up cornflakes thrown back into the toilet bowl "look what i've just thrown up!" trick or is it an urban myth?

i managed to get a fair few off in my younger years and spent the day feeling like a king watching this morning and napping in the afternoon.

there was something of a majestic feeling about knowing all your pals were struggling with trigonometry whilst you listened to denise welch tell richard & judy about her new period drama
