Most of us look back on our school days fondly, whilst wearing our GIANT rose-tinted glasses. Yes, school was great craic and yes, we had a great laugh down the back of the bus on the way to the football match but......remember all the business that happened in the actual classes and all that stuff that was drilled into us?! It turns out, we actually retained quite a bit of it. Ian put out the call this morning and the texts flooded in. You're a bunch of swots. Here are the things you'll always remember from school...

My very educated Mother just sat under nine pizzas. This was to remember the planets although, is Pluto a planet anymore?! I still use it! Trucker Jim
