The Weird Kid In ClassThere was a kid in my class who stood up every day and told everyone he had new shoes. This went on for weeks, and we all thought him nuts. Then, one day, he stood up and told us a long story about why his family were moving to another part of the country, and how excited he was. The next thing we heard was that he'd died in a plane crash.
Let's hear about the weird kid in your class...

primary schooli shall start at the beginning, because starting at the end would be silly.
his name was Ian Bellamy, and i have not seen him in 7 1/2 long years. He would rock, front to back, then you would talk to him, and as he replied he would rock from side to side. then when he'd finished, front to back again.
in year 5 (8/9yo) he had an unusual obsession with space and the solar system. regularly informing us of the speed of the planets, and the number of earth days that jupiter took to revolve, brilliant. all i wanted was a pack of space raiders for 10p and i got a christmas lecture, who put him on tuck shop duty.
the next year, it was buses. he began to design buses. not so weird (except these buses had guns and knives and would be more at home on robot wars than the A13). eventually he read the entire highway code at break and lunch over a week and would walk around the corridors extending his arm to signal if he was turning left or right into classrooms and such, often telling people off who walked passed his left hand side telling us "not to overtake on the left hand side" and that it was an "illegal manouvre".
we went to different high schools and i heard that he moved on to designing F1 tracks.
then he died of a brain tumour.
i dont think the last ones true tho, ill find out at the re-union.
mines massive and it aint made of plastic
