I wouldn't have been very, very talented.

But they kind of held on to me for a while and they let me go then as well.

I remember there was...

There was a music teacher out there.

Some fella, at the time we were getting earrings, and some fella, they'd pop it into your ear, you know?

They'd just pop the earring into your ear, force it in.

And the music teacher started, he said, take that decoration out of there.

That was unusual for carrying the verb.

It was a country school, like, you know?

Guy with an earring.

Take that, it was kind of a gold stud.

He said, take that decoration out of your ear or I'll take it out.

And he started pulling at it and stuff like, you know, that was all I could remember there.

There was nothing, there was no, I met good people out there.

There was boarders and stuff.

I met good lads out there.

There was no kind of really bad experience out there.

But primary school, I'd have no, I'd have no, I'd have no good memories of primary school.

I remember lads.

Those lads caught me.
