    Does anyone know why you get forced to sing hymns at primary school? I'm not remotely religious and i used to hate singing about god and jesus an shit.

    Did everyone have the words up on the hall wall through an OHP, with tiny blurry handwritten words?

    Yup. We always used to fight over who was on OHP duty. Your job was to change the songs, but it meant you had a chair to sit on during Assembly. :thumb:

    We never4 got a chair but it was thought over muchly.

    Yeah I know, load of bollocks. What if I wanted to be a Buddhist or something?
    It's not like we had choices as kids, our parents send us to some school who force feed us all this God crap and make us try to make us believe in myths and legends that were written in an ancient story book.

    Yep i remember, 'Jesus was crucified to take the blaaaaaaaaaaaame for all the bad things iiiiiiiiii have dooooooone' and 'i will sing your praises I WILL (the bits in capitals is when all of us children would yell the words) sing your praises LORD OF US ALL'

    loaaads of them

    as for playground ones we sang one that went some thing like, 'i went to the bakers shop to buy a loaf of bread bread bread i wrapped it up in a five pound note and this is what he said said said ... my .. name .. is .. elvis-presley-drinking-pepsi-looking-sexy-sitting-in-the-back-seat-with-all-the-ladies-showing-their-knickers-to-the-football-team ...'
    bit of a weird thing to sing about at the tender age of seven i guess ..

    Does anyone remember "When a Knight Won his Spurs" too??

    When a Knight won his spurs
    in the stories of old
    he was gentle and brave
    he was gallant and bold....

    ....then looots of verses in between, then....

    ....yet back into storyland giants have fled,
    and the knights are all gone
    and the dragons are dead.... (that bit always made me feel a bit sad...:crying: )
    I just remember the Allan Ahlberg version...

    "When a knight won his spurs in the stories of old,
    He was... face the front, David Briggs! What have you been told?"

    And so on. We did "Please, Mrs. Butler" as a show once.

    We had "one more step across the world i go more and more along the world i go from the old in to the new keep me travelling along with you" think thts was how it went anyway hehe :D i miss primary school

    we are the girley girls
    we wear our hair in curls
    we wear dungaries to show our sexy knees
    we dont play with toys weve got our boys

    when one day he asked me behind the tree
    he counted one to three and put it into me
    he counted one to ten and took it out again
    oh my mum was suprised when my belly did rise
    the babe was born blue so we flushed it down the loo

    (theres big chunks missing I'll think of it later

    Oh!! Yes!! Remember the sexy knees bit...then there was something about putting nappies out on the line?? It WAS about having babies...it's sort of coming back to me now!!! :D
