    Kids of today eh?
    They have to go just that little bit too far, don’t they?
    I can remember letting the tyres down on cars belonging to teachers that we did not like, or sticking a nail under the tyre, even putting stuff up the exhaust pipe to starve the engine of oxygen. Someone even blew the silencer off of an old mark lll Cortina by sticking a lighted banger up someones exhaust once, but making an actual bomb that could have seriously hurt or killed somebody is too much. Maybe we didn’t go that far because the IRA were killing and maiming people in mainland England on a regular basis, and you shit yourself every time you went shopping or to the pub or opened a padded envolope.
    I recon it must have been someone from out of town, because how many scally scouse kids do you know with a science qualification :).

    There ought to be quite a few at St. Edward’s.

    Each of my brothers were there, and my father taught there for many years. I know the school extremely well. There would be no shortage of people who *could* do it. It’s disturbing to me that there are those who *would* do it, and at least one that did.
