Mr Finnigan

Mr. Finnigan

• Mr. Finnigan is a substitute teacher, employed on a long term period at the school. He is a substitute for Mr Elmer. Demanding respect from his pupils, he is not always successful, since the fact that he is not Mr Elmer is blatantly obvious. There is no soldering iron to back up his beef. Not only does he have peculiar goatee, but he also wears a vest. How we all giggle.

• What makes this man legendary is his punishment of making pupils stay behind after a lesson, yet forgetting why they are there by the time the lesson has ended. He then proceeds to make the pupil remind him as a form of punishment.

Accident

• In recent times Mr. Finnigan has injured himself up during a disagreement with a local photocopier. This left him with a cut to the head and some reported spinal damage.

Reports that Mr Finnigan has joined Mrs Weir in her conquest to rid the world of all photocopiers remain unconfirmed.

The saw dust incedent

whilst being taught in 2005-2006 in the workshop, 8R and 8S (Now 9R and 9S)found a new way to dispose of saw-dust. Whilst one pupil talked to Mr. Finnigan, another would come up behind him with saw-dust in his hands and blow it onto Mr. Finnigan's behind so it stuck there. After months of doing this, and getting away with it, Andrew Allcock of 9S was caught in the act and was given the shouting of his life.
