Why is it that all bullies except Chris Burdekin are called “Cleary” ? Usually “Mick Cleary” I had to walk past his place to get home from school – I adopted a kind of fartlek training regime – walk-run-walk-run.
And then the f*cking magpies.
I was off sick quite a lot.

Hello FD
My sister was always frightened there was a pig under the bed.
Me, I kept getting terrifying images of a very mild comic strip pirate, so my parents took away the ‘too scarey’ comics like the phantom but let me keep the scarey one because they didnt believe me. The pirate had an eye patch.

Robbers coming in and killing me. I couldn’t actually leave my room, so I kept the door open a crack and watched the strip of light obsessively for shadows.

That all our politicians were more stupid than Billie who had to pick up papers in the playground all day and wasn’t allowed into do any maths and they had bombs which Billie didn’t. .
ps Billie now runs a courier company.
