Jacob Dowdle, a year 13 Pupil at Altrincham Grammar school on the last day of term May 16, put a paper plate with whipped cream in to his year heads face.

This was a very "Stupid" thing to do, but no harm was meant or injury caused yet the school called the Police and summary expelled him. The teacher was seeking a prosecution for the stunt, when she was not injured The teacher although upset , should have had the grace to except that it was a poor stunt , ( or like most teachers on the last day taken it on the chin as overexcited students behaviour).

Yes, Lumpy. And then I remembered my rather earthy comment of earlier.

I've let myself down, I've let MN down, and most of all I've let the school down.

Aha, EvilTwins, maybe your offer to tape a cream bun to your foot and boot him in the knackers has scared him!

That's an ugly looking twitter feed Lawrence Jones has got himself there. But well done him for making himself look like an arsehole.

Bluestocking · 30/05/2014 18:53

Well, nauticant, you know what we say on MN - when someone tells you who they really are, you better listen.

Haha. He's following me now I will make sure I write lots about how amazing teachers are.

LumpySpacedPrincess · 30/05/2014 19:06

He followed me too Evil

Then he unfollowed me...

Gutted I was. Grin

LumpySpacedPrincess · 30/05/2014 19:08

Maryz That's interesting.

I think that's how the op felt, then you stop and think "now, hang on a minute..."

JohnnyBarthes · 30/05/2014 19:09

Arf!

Do I follow you, Lumpy and Evil? I'm an aquatic mammal in a Czech car on the Twitter.

EvilTwins · 30/05/2014 19:09

Lumpy I'm sure it's only a matter of time. My twitter feed is full of teaching stuff which he'll no doubt find dull.

EvilTwins · 30/05/2014 19:16

I'm following you now I'm just my normal name Grin

BoneyBackJefferson · 30/05/2014 19:23

looking through his feed he claims that the boy was soaked by another teacher, but in the news reports say that it was his mate who threw a water balloon at another teacher.

I suspect that the blog post on sunday will be the fully amended, sanitized, it was the teacher's fault, approved for the internet spin version.

pebblyshit · 30/05/2014 19:24

He follows nearly 7000 people

Who has the time?

And 12K people follow him

I'm way more awesome than him and nobody follows me, and half the ones who do only do because a semi-famous person does.

Awww! I'll follow you, pebblyshit - give me a clue what your name is.

Delphiniumsblue · 30/05/2014 19:30

As soon as I approach following 200 people I cut some out- I haven't the time. 7000 is ridiculous!

pebblyshit · 30/05/2014 19:37

Awww. That's nice Bluestocking. I'll DM you my name but don't feel obliged. I'm probably a twat.

LineRunner · 30/05/2014 20:22

It's at times like this I do wish that I was on Twitter.

cardibach · 30/05/2014 20:27

He hasn't responded to my tweets :( Perhaps he likes women offering to hurt his gentleman's region...
Nobody on MN follows me/I don't follow any MNetters as far as I'm aware.

Bellezeboobian · 30/05/2014 20:30

What's his twitter name?

pianodoodle · 30/05/2014 20:31

LtEveDallas

Let me know what he says Grin

Bellezeboobian · 30/05/2014 20:36

Dick that pillock really give him 18k for 'being brave'.

I'm furious

Bellezeboobian · 30/05/2014 20:37

Oops I meant did, dick is what I was thinking as I wrote it.
