Friends

This should really read 'Fiends' in some instances! As you have already seen, Timothy Douglas Baldock is no stranger to ridicule. He has always been accident prone and clumsy.

Once at school, Timothy was inside the 5th year Common (Rec.) Room, looking out of the window as I walked past. He tapped on the glass to get my attention. As I looked at him, he proceeded to stick a matchstick up his nose. This had the effect of causing him to sneeze. That would have been bad enough in itself, but no, Timothy had to go one stage further. He sneezed onto an A4 sized piece of white paper, revealing the 'had been' contents of his nose. It looked like a car crash....all bits of snot and dirt....YUCH!! I was heaving and laughing at the same time, not an easy thing to do! I motioned to him to do it again, in the hope of getting a girl to watch so as to make her throw up....just for a laugh.

I managed to stop an unfortunate female victim, and Timothy launched into his party piece. He fiddled with the matchstick up his left nostril, tears were clearly visible in his eyes. The girl stared, sickened, but at the same time amazed at the spectacle before her. Then, it came. He threw back his head, his nose twitching involuntarily at the stimulation it had received. Then, his head came forward, as if propelled from behind...it was almost as if it was in slow motion.....then mucus, dirt, and nasal hair came exploding forth, showering the window in a spectacular mosaic of green and yellow........and....red? RED? Where did that come from? Where was Timothy?

His head emerged above the windowsill, he was holding his mouth. People in the room began to laugh.....what was going on? Then I saw.....Timothy had no front teeth! When he sneezed, he had mis-calculated the distance from his head to the tiled windowsill!!

Poor old Timothy. Since then, I can't recall the amount of times he's either broken or lost his 'new' front teeth.

So, there we are. That is just ONE of the many times that Timothy has messed up...to the amusement of all his mates!!

If you know Tim, or have any other stories about ANY of your mates, let me know, and I'll include them here on this site! Just E mail me.
