20 Best days of your life - trust me they are because your young and always refer to the parents as the ole wan or the ole fellow just to see them cring!!

Sami - Jims right they are the best days of your life make the most of them now. Would you rather have homework to have in in 10 minutes when you dont have it done or a mortgage to pay when you dont have the money for it.

Your problems may seem like big ones now but believe me in several years time you'll wonder what al the fuss was about.

Your school days are the best days of your life...enjoy them!

I know guys! Just a bit of a tongue in cheek explanation of why I havent't been posting as much recently, there's plenty to enjoy about school

I would give anything to be back at school, University is completely overrated.

Ahem! Trust me folks, mine, at any rate, were far from the best days of my life. Walk 2.5 miles to and from, in pissing rain from Oct-Mar mostly, to a freezing kip bereft of any sanitation, ruled by a cross between Stalin and Mugabe, who could easily have defeated Conan the Barbarian such was his prowess with a long sally cane.
He was assisted by another evil acolyte in the form of a female of indeterminable age, known only as "the Mistress"
She arrived from town on a small motor bike ridden a-la Joey Dunlop, at a 45 degree angle rounding the turn for another day of brutality and beatings.
In following years it became known that the Masters breakfast consisted of 2 glasses of whiskey and 3 for lunch to give him the energy for the afternoon ahead.
A notable point though, nobody that went to that school in my 8 years attended his funeral and the Mistress ended up dying in a mental institution.
Oh! yes, the best days of your life is right.......
