Grammar School Bullies...

Once upon a time in the long past era of the 11 plus...

It was given that any kid selected for Grammar was supposed to have at least a minimum level of intelligence
above that of the average population...

But it seemed the typical Grammar School bully was at the lower spectrum of that elite percentage..
Bully boy was so full of his own sense of superiority
that he seemed completely oblivious to how thick he was compared to his geekier class mate victims..

Bullies were generally slow on the uptake and easy to take the subtle piss out of with irony.
It was a kind of russian roulette to see how far you could get with sarcasm before they twigged and got physical.
My gang had a pet bully.
He couldn't make his mind up if he wanted to join and be our friend, or just habitually beat us up..

He'd bound across the playground like a big soppy dog to greet us with a knee to the groin and a crap joke he got off last night's telly.
Then join us for a chat until he got distracted by a weaker victim passing nearby...

Wouldn't be surprised if he grew up to be a tory party official..

Dunno why.. but that's what Teribus just reminded me of...??? 🙄
