So in a way Simon's and JJ's initial way of being friends was probably Simon taking in the funny nerd kid that everyone was safe with. But it turned out well now which is sick!
Honestly seeing the friendship between JJ and Simon is so inspiring; especially in this age and time it's so rare to find that right friend with that same chemistry. Both of you guys are a huge inspiration for me and although I;m new in this youtube game... you guys have inspired me to get on this journery and keep pushing towards my dream ! Peace out guys :)
Would still exist I reckon just different. JJ would still probably have met Josh (Josh knew Tobi), they would have still met Ethan. The 4 would have played together, still invited Vik and eventually Harry joins. So yeah it would have happened, I like Simon but I don’t think he was an integral link in all them meeting and playing together - he was after all once a “sideman” to JJ
When I first found the sidemen, I showed my friend the hide and seek videos and he took control of my computer and showed me all of KSI's old videos. I had no idea there was so much history. I especially liked the ones with Simon. They just played it so well together!
First sidemen video I watched was them playing the wheel. I didn’t know they knew calfreezy and that, tripped me out when I saw them in later videos. I’ve never seen KSIs’ old videos except in clips.
Forms and Houses are completely different, houses are what you use for sports and other 'events' we had music and drama and other stuff, but forms are what you'd go to lessons with.
Lol the chat getting legit confused over Houses had me rolling. I was at public secondary school from 1991-1996 and we all had a form but also were put into one of 4 houses. I thought they would have got rid of them since but clearly not 😂😂😂
It might be because it's a very British thing. I had it in my private school in Canada, but it had little meaning and we only had it because the school was trying to copy better local private schools, who in turn were copying English ones. In public schools it never is a thing here.
Yeah I went to a state funded school in England, and we had houses.. it was legit Harry Potter shit. We got house points and stuff, and the houses would have to compete in football, rugby, sports day and that.
lol I can assure you, it’s very real. I was sorted to a house AND a form, so like sports day would be sorted in houses. Just like Hogwarts, you also really do compete for points. You don’t really win shit tho
Simon saying Im rich enough now is a rare sight . Also I assumed he was about to say I would by my neighbours house or some shit but 500 footballs! Mad!
It’s really not. You seen Harry Potter right? I could explain how my school did it, if that helps visualise it, mine had 4 houses, some may be different but still same applies. As you enter secondary school your new year group is divided into 4 houses - usually something to do with the school or areas history - each with different logos and colours. That house is school wide, from all years and you come together to represent your house in sporting events and other competitions (often with a cup and year winner at the end). House colours are often also reflected in your school uniform/ pe kit. You may have a different trim of your school badge on blazer, different accents on your tie (mine depend on year rather than house though) or have different colours on pe socks, shirts and rugby tops etc. Forms are what the year group is divided into and are exclusively of your house in that year. There are often 2 forms for a house for a year group. Or 4. You’re divided into a class size roughly and allocated a tutor, who’s just a teacher with extra responsibilities. You can often choose some people from your primary school as preferences for your form so you’re not totally alone. You stick with your form for your entire school time up till year 11. You meet usually first thing in morning for like 15 minutes and your tutor lets you know what’s going on for the day, and then you meet after lunch for like 30 minutes-1hr, and do more personal development type things. Most of the time it was just an excuse to piss around. This is all allocated to a unique form room (just a classroom), that the form students basically have responsibility for at the end of things regardless if you have classes in there or not, need to keep it tidy, put chairs away etc and maintain/decorate the form’s board on the wall. For year 7 and 8, your form will become your class for most subjects - English, science etc but not for all and this if further relaxed once going up in years with the introduction of sets (based on ability), carousel choices (rotar subjects like DT, food tech etc that change each term), preferences for year 9 (more catered specialised choices within broad subjects - i.e different types of art or DT etc) and then GCSE selection choices for year 10 and year 11 which is of course the subjects you want to be listed on your qualifications and where you can depart school if you want (16yo). For all this divisions and such you are usually kept within one side of your year. As each house for each year is divided into two forms. Let’s say your house name begins with a P. In year 7 you will become either a 7p1 or a 7p2, and as you go on that becomes 8p1 and 8p2 and so on. You stay on your side of the year meaning for all your classes you’re only mixing with other forms that are also a 7*house name* 1. So for your entire school time. it is entirely possible you do not have classes with an entire half of your school year, as was the case for me. I didn’t know a lot of people until sixth form (high school equivalent basically for 16-18 year olds) where the housing and form system broke down and more relaxed. For private schools and posher ones, forms or houses also get communal common areas where you can chill if you don’t have classes - sometimes fitted with small kitchen, snooker table, sofa etc. And the system is even more confusing with longer school days, prep time, games time, free time etc. After writing that it now seems a lot more confusing lol, particularly so cos I didn’t explain it that well, but growing up it feels very normal and easy to follow, find it odd that it’s not the same in the US as I think it really does work. That was just my experience with my school and I know it differs with every school in the Uk but i think that covers a lot of the broad stuff and puts the concepts of forms and houses across.
we have houses and forms. forms u go to in the morning and is what your version of a house is but everyone is also randomly picked to be in 1 of 6 houses and then thats the the "team" you represent in house football and stuff. but houses dont really mean anything until a house event
Simon (replying to a comment about houses and forms): yeah, houses are a private school thing 100% Me (who’s only gone to state schools): no? I had houses in middle and high schools, which were different to our form groups :/
In my school, my houses are Winston Churchill, Allen Tuning, Emmeline Pankhurst and Florence Nightingale. ( went to a "normal" school were we didn't have to pay).
Houses at school here in Australia were so broken. Every school i went to (moved alot) had 2-3 big houses of 50-100 kids and then the one extra house of less than 20, and as a new kid (who didnt fit in at all/bullied alot) was put into the 20. I was athletic, did competitive jump rope (performed), held sprinting records, and a few other random things. The houses had who could chant their chant the loudest, so ofc 20 people vs bigger houses never won. And the school claimed all scores were divided by amount of people... But the small house never won, any year. It was just for the misfits, even if athletic. Was kinda sad tbh.
Instead of doing a ball every day I’d buy as many as I could without going over board and just kick them one at a time over the fence all day. Possibly write things on them to piss them off 🤷🏽♂️😂
@@dayumbro8202 I mean he was getting so much hate a few months ago which is why he doesn’t talk much in sidemen videos which says a lot plus still people say he is really annoying now

These guys had tennis/squash courts, school houses and 15 different buildings making up 1 school. My school was an oversized shed, you turned up, tried not to get stabbed and went home
All that talk about the football then there's me just cooking or cleaning my kitchen & seeing random guys hopping my fence to get them back unless I'd see it first & throw it back for them, they were just my neighbours mates getting their ball back though so why would it bother me? Fair enough if you found them snooping around your garden or trying to get in your house but that's highly unlikely when it's just a few guys kicking a ball around 🤣
Simon: Yeah we had houses and stuff when we went to school. Everyone in the U.S: ??????? What are you on about? What are forms? Why do you need houses at school? Nerds: HOGWARTS?!
my school had green, blue, yellow & silver. each house had 8 forms with all 5 years where we would go after the first 2 lessons. i was in green 6. but we would have a house assembly once a week
The whole forms and houses thing is a interesting topic to me because my school had both. It was like 8 forma per year and 4 houses or whatever. This was a public school too.
This is why paying for private school is not worth it £9k a term (3 terms a year) for how many years? To then flunk or get same results as someone who hasnt paid a penny. So parents please send your kids to state school, they be more well rounded members of society.
