Some people have nothing better to do.

Heck The school here in New Zealand that I went to, got into slight trouble in the 1985.

There was two English classes, and it was the last week before school holidays, so
they combined the class, so we could watch movies all week, (since we were ahead of schedule)

It was what we called then, the fourth form. (we were 14-15 years old)

The movies were watch were.....

Blazing Saddles, Dirty Harry, Beverly Hills cop, and Animal House.

Until one parent complained.
