The way you reminisced of your schooldays brought back memories of my own, your school sounded a lot like mine.

The positive aspect of it was that as an all-male environment there was a dry sense of humour accompanying the discipline and authoritarianism. My form master (in my final year) congratulated me on my farts, for example, as well as giving me a somewhat nominal telling-off.

Sometimes a nominal telling off could be quite amusing.

Yes both trying to be serious, contrite and not trying to smirk/smile/laugh (Or even break wind) all at the same time.
That was more or less the scene when (as I mentioned in another thread recently) I told my House Master that there was no mention of farting in either the School or House rules.

'Who stunk up the joint?'

I said in my previous post that I am a lot more civilised now, but in a country pub recently, after a walk with several members of my hiking club, I stood up and quite by accident released the loudest, longest and most noxious fart I have managed to emit since my university days. Fortunately it was an all-male group and so it was met with laughter, but I am sure that it violated the Geneva Convention. As this is really a sartorial site I should mention that for the hike I wore an olive green waxed Barbour jacket, an olive Army Woolly Pully (commando sweater), dark brown corduroy trousers, olive wool Army issue socks, and old leather hiking boots. And - more unusual item here - a Mongolian leather cap bought in Ulan Bator.
