My travails all started at Eton then on to Harrow for a semester and finally Westminster, an eclectic mix of torture and trial.

The fact that I got the title wrong must serve as some sort of testament to where I went.

I spent my schooldays down at Willie Holt's Snooker Hall. I got really good at it and thought about going Pro. I'd like to tell you what my highest break is, but sadly I never learned to count.

So your formative years were spent as a toast rack for the bigger boys?
And your later years were spent sticking toast between the bare buttocks of the younger boys?
And then we wonder why we get what we get...

I broke in to Westminster School on a number of occasions.
I was at the school opposite, where we were half-starved. Westminster school had some fridges on the bottom floor of one of their buildings that always had food in them......................

Haha! I was once the lucky recipient of a beautiful Mont D'or cheese intended for rich foreign kids at Sherborne International School. The poor little rich ones couldn't eat it because they were trapped abroad thanks to that Icelandic volcano that grounded flights for a fortnight.
It made a wonderful fondue.
God bless Eyjafjallajökull!
