Urban Myth - unless anyone would care to say otherwise?Originally posted by moorfield View PostBear - did you ever play the Buscuit Game then ?
There was (probably still is) plenty of tricks, pranks, etc - borderline bullying they would call it nowadays.
I remember having a bucket of snow thrown over me in bed at 2am, had to sleep in a wet bed the rest of the night. That was fun!
But the tricks are no worse than I've experienced at the rugby and crickets I've been in, and in many offices I've worked in.Si posse, recte, si non, quocumque modo remComment

I thought boarding school was all about fagging, compulsory rugby on cold winter mornings, military drill on the playground, freezing cold classrooms, latin and classics homework for 4 hours a night, vile school dinners and being bullied by the Head Boy or Matron and being caned for any trivial offence.Originally posted by realityhack View PostI went to boarding school - brilliant.

Sounds like a lot of fun.
