This thread is bringing back many memories (some are even happy ones).
Was at RHS at Barnton from 1969 -75(Northfield before that)
I was in "Badger's" form class and well remember the slipper! (and a blackboard duster being thrown around)
Also remember John Murray, the music teacher, a Liverpudlian who was more into rugby than football.
Those were good times to be a Hibee - League Cup, Dryburgh Cups, European Nights, 5 goals down the slope, 7-0 1/1/73 - Happy Days

Music teacher's pushing it a bit: he just let us bring in our own records to play and disappeared to the staff room for the entire period

I was an Angle (IIRC) - light blue badge.
Who remembers 'Wee Mac' & 'Tits Gray' ?

Who could forget "Tits Gray". And "Rock Hard Nipples" Cormack. And what about Miss Bryden

Ah Gary, I'm good thanks, yes Leith Academy P1-P6, Royal High P7. I'm still living in Edinburgh and trying (pretty unsuccessfully as we have a 6 month old baby) to get along to Easter Road.

Elspeth Cormack had a "thing" with one of my classmates.

Elspeth Cormack had a "thing" with one of my classmates, which continued long after he left the school. Since this is an internet board, I can say these things without fear of legal action

Sorry you are wrong the very least that can happen is you can be banned from this board with legal action to follow if some-one wishes to do so.

1. I know the rules on defamation. Hence the devil smiley.

2. one can't be defamed if it's true.

3. welcome to the board. Nice first post.

Posting in a forum does not relieve from the threat of liability. For better or worse, you can still be sued for anything from character assassination to invasion of privacy to...well, anything that you can be sued for in the brick and mortar world. Laws in the physical world apply to the virtual world as well.
Ah, but what about anonymity? Well, you leave a trail when you post online. Many people assume that they will be okay as long as they don't put their true name, address and whatever on the forum profile. Wrong. A company will sue the forum for your IP information. It is recorded when you sign up. They will then track backwards to the company controlling said IP and get a court order forcing the company to reveal who has the account.

I, and the many posters who have been posting on here for years, know all this. I am quite happy to rely on what the great Jonathan Aitken called "the simple sword of truth".

What about the trusty shield of British fair play?
