Oh, I think not.

Credited by no less than Bury-Dog Millionaire Director Danny Boyle as the man who led him to his 8 Oscars, Frank would own Jake anytime.

Anyway, what sort of fckg name is 'Jake' for a teacher ?

There's only one way to settle this ...... FIGHT !!!! :Jedi:

I know this is a slight diversion from the topic but, since everyone else is doing it, why was he called 'ticker'? I think I must have known this at one time but it was a long, long time ago...

He was called Ticker due to his scam breaking ploy of having homeworks shown to him prior to the class on the topic beginning. He went through "ticking" the pages so you were not able to add to it while the class then followed.

I lived in the Halcyon days at Thornleigh when, as the last of the grammar intake, I was introduced, in my second year, to the delights of Sixth Form girls running around my school wearing Gym Knickers. They, of course, wore other articles of clothing but they were incidental. Gym Knickers!!!!! I now need a lie down. :oops:
