0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:22.720
<v Speaker 3>Christian.

0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:26.520
<v Speaker 2>I remember Megan O'Neill from the eighties because of her

0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:29.200
<v Speaker 2>boiled egg sandwiches she used to bring in a lot.

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:32.880
<v Speaker 2>You can handle the smell. That's from Jimmy. Two names

0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:36.440
<v Speaker 2>from me that I'll always remember. One is Martin Taylor.

0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:39.800
<v Speaker 2>This guy was legend in our school year, Martin Taylor,

0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:42.440
<v Speaker 2>because we were covering the Second World War a history

0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:44.879
<v Speaker 2>lesson once and we're talking about the death of Hitler,

0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:48.600
<v Speaker 2>and our history teachers said, did any of us know

0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:50.760
<v Speaker 2>how Hitler actually died? And Martin put his hand up

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.159
<v Speaker 2>straight away, which is all because he wasn't the sharpest

0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:55.640
<v Speaker 2>kid in the year, was certainly not in our history lesson,

0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:58.760
<v Speaker 2>and the teacher was really surprised. You know when those

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:02.320
<v Speaker 2>referred to you by your son name to be sarcastic. Ah, yes,

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 2>mister O'Connell, someone to share with the classes it anyway, Ah,

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 2>mister Taylor's got the answer, has he?

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:10.680
<v Speaker 3>Mister Taylor, how did Hitler die?

0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:13.400
<v Speaker 2>And this kid Martin, I don't know what had been fed,

0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:16.160
<v Speaker 2>what family like, said that he thought he actually said

0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:18.279
<v Speaker 2>that his granddad Neil killed Hitler.

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.679
<v Speaker 3>And I remember the whole class, the whole class.

0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:25.240
<v Speaker 2>The teacher was laughing so hard, right, he ketch on,

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 2>he ketch on to get control of it. And then

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:29.240
<v Speaker 2>in the end he said, you can have to excuse me.

0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 2>He went off. He went off, walked outside in the corridor,

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 2>just to try and recompose himself. That one of the

0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:39.639
<v Speaker 2>lads in his lesson is his granddad killed Hitler, Neil

0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:43.679
<v Speaker 2>granddad Neil killed Hitler. And the other one is another

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 2>kid called Phil Norman, Phil Norman.

0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 3>And I remember that kid because so we used to

0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 3>have these.

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:51.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you would have had them, Jack, because

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:53.440
<v Speaker 2>you're a bit younger than Patsy, and Patsy you would

0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:56.080
<v Speaker 2>have had it, Jim of the old sort of school

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 2>boards that teach us to pull down, Yes, and they

0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 2>were just on a circular kind a thing like that,

0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:03.640
<v Speaker 2>and then they'd get the the chalk rubber, rub it

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 2>off if it still had like another teacher's lesson on there,

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:08.639
<v Speaker 2>and they'd write something new on there. Anyway, this kid,

0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:12.400
<v Speaker 2>he was a hero status at our school, Phil Norman.

0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:16.200
<v Speaker 2>He wrote on there, mister Saul, that was our French teacher,

0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 2>smells off, and then a really bad word for pooh

0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 2>rolled it back up right, So we were like, he's coming,

0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:23.959
<v Speaker 2>mister Salt's coming.

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 3>It's quite a stay of my school life. This mister

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:27.200
<v Speaker 3>is coming.

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.959
<v Speaker 2>Nothing happened, So it takes ages about it must be

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.760
<v Speaker 2>about ten long minutes before he goes, okay class right,

0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:39.080
<v Speaker 2>goes to put it down, turns around, doesn't see what

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 2>we see, which is mister Saul smells off.

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:46.000
<v Speaker 3>We're laughing. He looks around, goes he just loses it,

0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 3>just loses it. No one wants to.

0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:50.840
<v Speaker 2>He demands that we give over the name we almost

0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.679
<v Speaker 2>did a I'm smart because I'm SPoD, because I wants

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.919
<v Speaker 2>to give up the identity of the legend that will

0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 2>always be Phil Norman.

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 3>Jack, do you remember from school.

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.560

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:09.800
<v Speaker 4>ones that broke my heart Essentially, Zoey Harper was a

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.680
<v Speaker 4>girl I had a crush on. She gave everybody in

0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:14.560
<v Speaker 4>the class a Christmas card. At the end of the year,

<v Speaker 2>been written.

0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:29.880

0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 4>me I was jealous of all his toys. And I

0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.480
<v Speaker 4>didn't know what jealous meant, but I knew that I

0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:00.640
<v Speaker 4>knew it thing bad.

0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:02.280

<v Speaker 2>Podcast, Take Good Evening. This is to Christian O'Connell's show.

0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:21.240
<v Speaker 2>We're talking at the moment about the kids. Do you

0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:25.120
<v Speaker 2>remember from school? Their full name? And why there's sex

0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:26.120
<v Speaker 2>and calls right now?

0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.040
<v Speaker 5>Gerard, good evening, mate, how are you Christian house things.

0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:30.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm good mate. I hope you've had a good week.

0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for calling the show. So who do you remember

0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:34.280
<v Speaker 2>from your school days?

0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.920
<v Speaker 5>And why made had a good maiden primary school? Which

0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:40.160
<v Speaker 5>really good mate with net with now he turned from

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.480
<v Speaker 5>Benny to Bennie Cleaber to because he was the man

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:46.159
<v Speaker 5>that decided that there was in grade six to climb

0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:49.720
<v Speaker 5>the flag pole, got in a bit of trouble, come

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:53.680
<v Speaker 5>down pretty quickly and got caught at the bottom. Lots

0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:56.440
<v Speaker 5>of screaming, lots of bits and pieces were a small

0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:58.520
<v Speaker 5>primary school, lots of people come.

0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:03.679
<v Speaker 1>Running around, and the legend was born. We basically saw

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:07.400
<v Speaker 1>too much of Benny basically, and then therefore that was

0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:08.800
<v Speaker 1>the Benny Cleaver for Ben Clever.

0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.479
<v Speaker 3>I get it now. The legend of Benny Cleaver was

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:14.400
<v Speaker 3>born in that moment.

0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 5>That is exactly right. And he hasn't improved much, but

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:19.200
<v Speaker 5>he's still Benny Cleaver.

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:23.040
<v Speaker 2>He's still wanver right, And did he injure himself? Did

0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:24.480
<v Speaker 2>he have to go to hospital or anything? From the

0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:27.520
<v Speaker 2>flagpole rapid ascent, he.

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.440
<v Speaker 5>Had several stitches. But you know, in grade six you

0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:32.119
<v Speaker 5>thought I didn't really care about that sort of stuff.

0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:32.960
<v Speaker 3>I think that would have done.

0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:34.679
<v Speaker 2>I think I would have done a Greade six actually,

0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:36.160
<v Speaker 2>or any great year, to be honest.

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:38.800
