- ISSE 1993
- Andrew has
just finished a degree in History
& Politics at Trinity
College, Oxford University
|
In 2002,
we asked
What have you been
up to since leaving the ISSE?
I left
the ISSE in 1993, and upon arrival in
England I went to the local comprehensive
for the next 4 years. Then I did 2 years
at sixth form college for A-Levels, and
for the past 3 years I've been doing a
degree in History & Politics at
Trinity College, Oxford University. I
finished there in June 2002 and am
currently unemployed!
What are your plans for the coming year(s)?
To
persuade some feckless employer to give
me a job more intellectually stimulating
than stacking toilet rolls at Tesco or
mopping up toddlers' vomit at McDonalds (both
of which I have done, I'm ashamed to say...)
Oh, and the little matter of trying to
realise what the purpose of my life is.
Any particular memories of people/events/scandals
from the ISSE?
Ok, there
was one time that Christian brought a
hardcore porn magazine to school, and a
load of us boys flocked into the cubicle
of the toilet to look at it..I never got
to see it though as I was the look-out...
For some reason in Science class we dared
Christian to ask Mr McGregor why he
married his wife..and he told us because
she was a good cleaner..
Oh, and I was once sponsored (for
charidee) by people in our class to swear
and insult Mrs Gasser, our Geography and
History teacher, all the way through her
lessons one day, calling her a freaky,
acne-ridden yankee, or words to that
effect - now THAT was fun!
Teachers:
Gruintjes the Dutch teacher was an old
bag, her lessons were dull so I often
mucked about and so often got trouble and
once she threatened me with a yellow card
Koks the computer studies teacher I also
disliked - he was probably alright, but I
saw him as a bastard who persecuted me in
lessons of ridiculous work on those
awfully old BBC computers
Gym teacher - Doras/Neutkens? - always a
great laugh, loads of fun in pirates (especially
when I was 'it' and had to hide in the
gym horse)
Gasser the History/Geography teacher -
she was so young and American, I loved
winding her up and taking the piss out of
her
The students:
While so many stick in my mind, special
mention has to go to:
John McFarlane & Marcus Colak - for
humour, weirdness, but above all great
friends
Kelly Banbury - the hard-nosed yet
extremely cool and likeable tough girl
Jennie Lawrence - the glamour girl
Omar & Laura, perennial Brownies
Amy Jeenes & Alice Pickering -
humour, laughter & giggling
Nicholas von Pickartz - fantastic bloke,
cartoonist and friend
All the best |
