    Daft school rules

    This was also a strange rule we seemed to have at primary school. Throughout infant school it was pencil (one that was provided by the teacher, placed in a holder in the middle of the table along with a communal sharpener).

    Best Sport?

    Football would be my ultimate choice out of the options given in the poll though I do play volleyball as well. In a previous life I played Rugby and Basketball, both of which I enjoyed.
