Some chap in my class found an empty birds egg on the beach so carried it home carefully in the
car, brought it into
school and put it on display. Upon noticing it on display I took the initiative to strength
test it and crushed it in my hand. He was very upset upon returning to the display to see it crushed and started crying. When the teacher found out I was denounced as a “bold, bold boy,” to my entire class.
In Ireland if something is fun, it'
s probably bold.
