Look. At. Us. NOW.
My mate actually started Keane in his fancy school, and I told him it was a rubbish name for a band.
Oh yeah... The Thrills. Are they still going?We had The Thrills. David Kitt was a few years ahead of my. Possibly him out the door in 6th year as I was coming in for 1st year.

It's a bit like when I meet rich Americans who went to expensive schools and they were all reading the Russian classics and Greek mythology at 15 and i'm like "I was reading Terry Pratchett and Melody Maker." The foundational stuff they just take for granted i'm forever playing catchup on and will forever BE playing catchup on, but then again they don't know anything about King Adora.So, my Dad went to a fancy Jesuit school, and I can see that they got this very broad grounding in a lot of subjects, particularly the classics, that scotes like me who went to normal state schools just didn't get. And a mate of mine went to one of these very expensive schools and then off to a public boarding school in England, and again they did have a much wider seeming curriculum.
Like, I'm not saying that these schools are better, neither my mate nor my Dad liked them at all, but there's a difference.
