Welcome to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Taking you back to school now.

What got confiscated?

It's like a badge of honour, I think, sometimes to get something confiscated as well.

I remember, uh, Jimmy the old shatterproof rulers.

Oh, yeah.

There's a phrase.

You don't say any more, do you?

Who has taken my shatterproof ruler?

Anyway, in maths lesson, we had this math teacher called Mr. Bachelor.

And I remember once he lost his mind because me and the guys at the back,

we used to that thing with the ruler where you would get little pieces of paper,

chew them up, put them on there and flick up

the back of people's heads, and also up on the ceiling. They would just stick to the ceiling.

Anyway, I was told a couple times to stop that. You don't think when they used to get aggressive

to go, they would give you a false title like Mr. O'Connell.

Anyway, he caught me once, and then he took the shatterproof ruler, and for the rest of that term as well not only was it confiscated I acted then for the rest of the term to sit at the front right by him with all the nerds at the front

the shame the shame at the front I couldn't be at the back it's amazing you still came out cool

yes I know and Jackie boy whoever you uh what do you get confiscated well I got that note

confiscated where I got confiscated and used against me. I was passing

notes in class and I had written a list of 10 girls at the school who I fancy. I was a teenage

boy. I wouldn't do that now, obviously. And the- Well, you just have five now, haven't you?
