oh, several...
physics teacher, who plugged himself into a power pack to demonstrate that it wouldn't do him any harm. Also, was fond of giving people lines as punishment. on on occassion, one boy in my class in year 7 got his ear pulled by the boy next to him, and the boy next to the ear-puller started laughing. so they all got lines. one got 'i must not pull other people's ears', another got 'i must not let my ears be pulled', and the laughing boy got 'when you sup with the devil, use a long spoon'.

had a chemistry teacher who retired just before i left, who would set fire to the gas taps.

one teacher was banned for drink-driving, we think. he used to always be seen drinking tango, in the days of the black bottles, but we knew better. also, he used to drive across the playground from his department to the canteen at lunchtimes, to save himself the walk. I saw him one lunchtime, laughing with a non existant person about how he'd just got out of his car.

and a male PE teacher (of course) was rumoured to be having an affair with a sixth-form girl. they were very pally all the time, and we all suspected it and used to wind him up mercilessly. rumour has it they got together properly after she left school.

had a biology teacher too who lived with his dad, he recently retired. owned a small-holding with cows on it too for a hobby, but had a wonderful collection of animals in the biology lab and if punishment were needed it would be a fine which went in the animal fund.

history teacher didn't turn up one day because he'd gone on a day-trip to Auschwitz.

oh, and this man. check out these poses, but a top bloke and a great teacher. he even took us on a sailing trip :)
