I started school only a few years after corporal punishment was abolished and I can clearly remember certain teachers struggling to control a class with the same authority they'd previously have. Fairly often a board rubber would fly across the room hitting the back wall as that's all they could get away with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today's youth would stick the cane right up the teacher's jacksie's Teachers in the old days were built like brick shithouses and that's including the lady teachers, you would run a mile if they shouted with a cane in their PAWS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say teaching teenagers must be one of the most frustrating jobs on the planet. For every keen enthusiastic student there is an immature cocky little trouble maker looking to destroy your class. 3 minutes ago, MUFC said: Oh student. Remember the substitute teachers, they'd get it worse than anyone. It was like they were being paid to come babysit and the whole class would go wild. Even the grade A students would lose focus and make their lives hell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, although the little prick deserved it, tbh Think afterwards he threatened to complain to the media and get TV involved, too When the teacher and the school principal suggested to get his parents involved instead, all his courage suddenly disappeared Can't imagine it happening today, the teacher would probably lose her job and get a criminal record or something 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She, not he. And I honestly don't know she was one of the coolest, chill and non-conventional teachers with all kinds of crazy ideas in school, so that probably had something to do with that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because a) I dislike being drunk; and b) it seems a terrible waste of good Scotch (especially single malt) to get smashed to the point where you're just consuming alcohol without appreciating the flavour.

Get people to spin it full pelt. when you you were spinning at a really fast speed you'd jump off. I thought of that too, though recall people spinning it at full pelt with the small frightened kid on it while all his friends ran off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's one I remember when working for a bank, a girl annoyed as a chap had stood her up at lunch time bought him a pint of guinness. She hid it in her coat walked back up the High Street past security into the lift and put on his desk. Think he was a bit shocked when he saw it. They never became an item although everyone expected they would. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
