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...

David: The thin line between genius and utter loonballI went to a small primary school in Harrogate in the mid 80s, and in my class was a chap by the name of David.
Everyone knew he was a special kid, because he had his own tutor that would come in once a week. Not because he was slow, but because he was so fucking brainy for an 8 year old that the SMP maths cards we were trudging through had been despatched by David in days.
So he had a tutor that would (we guessed, aged 8) teach him stuff about space and time travel or something.
Looking back his behaviour, if repeated nowadays it would have doubtlessly resulted in either merciless bullying or an unprecedented drugs regime...
...but we simply let him get on with it when he ran around the playground smacking himself in the head and shrieking.
...We gazed on in wonder as he span round in circles grinning manically singing "When you go to the loo you show your tits!!!" whilst beating his chest with unnatural force for someone so skinny.
He left after the easter holidays in the 4th year juniors, never saw him again. I like to think he's an astronomer, or some kind of Mad Scientist. In fact he often springs to mind when I watch Reanimator.
