Revolution no. 9

Indeed I am, and proud to boot...

I have to confess that I'm intrigued by your mention of The Pickle and Akers Guide in an earlier post. I distantly remember that "Red Boots" McGeever confiscated it during maths once, but that's all I know about this mysterious document. Can you shed any more light on it? What things were discussed in this guide? How long did it last?
