Oh, yeah. In fact, presents for everybody. I don't remember ever getting teachers anything. Mailman's and male ladies. Presence. Yes. Give them a little something to saying, thanks to delivering the mail in all sorts of weather. people would give the posty something like a box of scorched almonds yeah that was a classic

your mail's always wet it's always wet it sounds like a me problem that I've got a shit letterbox and I do you have a rubbish letterbox yeah it's like the old owner like built it into the fence it looks so bad oh yeah and when you lift the flap because it's just wood on wood it goes so you got a leaky letterbox do you any bit of CRC on that no it just needs to be ripped out and completely replace that on the list I actually need to see i see some of the doors at my apartment I love CRC. It's so annoying. I've got so much of it.

Because then it dribbles down the thing. Oh, you're over CRC. And then it smells like, it smells like CRC. I don't like it. Do you have some? Yeah. I've got cans on cans on cans. I'm trying to get rid of renovation stuff.

Oh, you can. I'll have some gap filler stuff. Do you want some bloody, what do you want? I'll have some gap filler. Do you know what? Speaking of teachers' presents, I'm going to make my boys a couple of boy packages for Christmas. Are you really? Yes.

Yep. I don't want anything to return. That's very nice. Also, are you going to a hardware store any time. I'm going today, I'm going literally right after this. I've got something you need to buy for me. Okay, edit, put it here. What is it?

It's a little hose connector. Okay. Because my dishwasher hose sprung, it burst open. So I bought a new one, but the connector was just a brass bit of pipe. Do you have the mitre ten link to the one you need? I'll link you one. And so I need a proper one because it's got a little ridge in it to start. There's a tiny leak now.

I've lost my bone up. I'll get it for you, but I don't need to know any more about it. Thank you. Yep, I mean, maybe a hard we still voucher is a good teacher's gift. My mum made Russian fudge for all of our teachers. That's her gift for everyone. Salafined up in a ribbon. I think you stopped at when you're done at Intermediate,

because at Intermediate you had like a specific teacher. They kind of taught you everything. Whereas in high school you had flip-flop, all the different subjects and stuff. Yeah. Do you want to do this? They did, yeah, at primary. Right. Well, I mean, Indies just finished her first year at high school,

and yeah, that totally gives many existence. central crisis thanks for asking that's only four more to go and then she's going to be either at university or in the workforce i think it was after a year of high school that's when my voice dropped really yeah it was a bit late i started getting up to all sorts oh really maybe we won't talk about that after my voice dropped as well let's talk about it i were like hi hi and now you're like hello it was all the dories i smoked in third fall but i now i nailed it in the last year of intermediate i kind of on behalf of the class put around a little bit of a collection.

Oh, good boy. Her name was Sandy Cameron. Oh, yeah. Miss Cameron, we called her. Now, it was ex-Permanister, Jacinda Ardoin, when she in your class? She was a year above you. She would have been in third form at Morrisville College by that stage.

She better just fucking contributed. Well, no, but she wasn't in my class. She better put in some coin. Or tax Cinder could have put in some bloody coin. That was what I did. I wouldn't let the kids who didn't give the money put their name on the card. Oh, my God. I love that.

Wow. Well, you didn't contribute. I'm not paying for you. Yeah, pretty brutal. Yeah, that is brutal. Looking back on it, you're like, some of them were really struggling. And it was only like a few bucks each, but, you know, they might not have had access to it. They might not have had an after-school job.

The parents were poor. Yeah, yeah. Especially this time of year. Looking back on it, I feel bad about that. Yeah. Do you need to write some wrongs? I need to track them down. Such a cafe.

What about episode of Heavyweight, one of our favorite podcasts. Tracking down everybody that I didn't let put their name on the card. Because the guilt is too much for you. Yeah, and they'll be like, I don't even fucking remember the teacher's name for him. No one remembers their form two teachers. his name. Yeah. And I'd be like, Sandy Cameron was her name.

Yeah, right. And you know what we got her? We all chipped in because these are still like you see them around. In the 90s, Haley, I'm wondering whether or not Patsy would have dipped a toe in these. I feel like Bev would have thought they were pretty posh. What size? They were these plastic outside wine glasses for picnics with a heavy base that came in different plastic colors. Yep.

Yep. And you could screw them off. Blue, green, maroon. Maroon. Yeah, red. Mom, no. Mom didn't like wine that much. She'd go outside.

She'd have wine inside. You should have it inside. She wouldn't take it outside for a picnic. She doesn't. Not a beach picnic person. Oh, interesting. No, this is more just like a barbecue at home sit. No, again.

Yeah, but you save your glassware for inside. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, 90s plastic wine. Man, that's a hot vibe. Yeah, right. My mom had the matching jug on.

We couldn't afford that for Sandy Cameron. No, of course not because let's be. Taxender didn't chip in. No, she didn't. Where is Sandy Cameron? That's the thing you think about these teachers. The names pop into your head and you're like, What happened to them?

As well, now that you're of an age where you know other teachers your age and how much, like, they're just like you, just going through life. Like, they don't have any idea, just like the rest of us. She was our intermediate school teachers. She was in her 20s. Yeah, that she would have been younger. She was in charge of a whole bunch of, in her 20s. She's probably going out at the weekend with her friends.

It's crazy guy. I saw my Form 2 teacher, Mr. Ames in town when I was an adult. And I was like, this is crazy, man. This is crazy. He was like, this is crazy for you. I'm like, yeah, ma'am. Wow. Well, now, we'll finish this podcast.

I know that was a natural hour. I'm just going to say, we'll finish this podcast and I'm going to search up Sandy Cameron. I'm pretty sure she was a Sandra. Do you guys want some of pets? Because Patsy does rush and fudge every single year as gas. Yeah, I have a little bit. It's unreal. I know Big Harder, James' mom makes it.

Yeah. And it makes your teeth hurt. I told you I've got a Russian friend and he, I got him Russian fudge. And he's like, we don't have this in Russia. Do they just call it? Fudge. They just, I don't, yeah, just fudge. I was like, well, I've been lied to my entire.

life well patty's russian fudge is second to none i'll judge that oh okay okay bring it in will you tell it to her fucking face as well
