The teacher who directed our primary school pantomime used to put a lot of effort into after-school rehearsals. Sometimes just for one or two of the cast. At one of these, I (Abanazar the wicked uncle) and Widow Twankey (another boy) were encouraged to lie down on our backs, side by side, in just our PE kit, and let our hands explore' each other's bodies without making a sound. We were told that this would teach us proper body control’. The teacher turned the light off and watched us do it in silence for about ten minutes. My parents thought he was a wonderful teacher and refused to listen to any complaint - an emerging pattern in my school career.
I though this would be funny but it appears to have taken me to a dark place. Still, there it is.
PS I don’t think I’ve libelled anyone, have I? That’s why I left out all the names. Also the rumours about the hard drive and the pictures and the prison sentence. But I daresay you’re awash with those.
