That wasnt in the Rookerj by any chance MP?;-)

I got regularly caned in both senses of the word at school. The one was normally a direct result of the other.


We got hit with all sorts of stuff. A proper cane across the arse if you were being formally disciplined (anything up to 6 times. They weren?t allowed to hit you more than that in one go) but there were various other ad hoc beatings dished out. The standard was a ruler across the palm but the industrial arts teacher regularly made liberal with the old 2 by 4 and we had a particularly nasty PT teacher who favoured a cricket bat.

I read that as "fondly" bits :-$

He he, indeed. It's a chain of 'posher' coffee shops mostly outside the red light district.

Fell for one of the girls there a week before I had to return to the UK having been depressingly single the whole blimmin year. Sod's law!!!

Ha ha, you don't know how close you are to the truth Brendan.

I've still got scars on my legs from all the bicycles I fell over, and I was so bleary after 6 months that my boss suggested I go on holiday ... immediately!!


That's the one Rolo happy haze days


 

If i remember rightly, the toliets are up those stairs and to the left of the first picture you have the raised area facing the bar with a huge ornate, Indian wedding seat. But thats only if I remember rightly of course:))

Spot on.

I remember sitting on those seats just to the left with an aussie friend who'd been travelling around the world for 6 months with the usual drug related pitfalls and fears that possession might entail, and she was finding the whole openness htere very hard to get her head around.


By the time we were really battered a couple of officers wandered in to chat to the staff and check all was well, and had the conversation right in front of us. This was all too much for Lisa, who stood up (just), offered her wrists together to be handcuffed and said too loudly in that classic aussie drawl:


"Arrest me officer, I've been a baaaaaaaad girl"


I know things are funnier when you're stoned, but I honestly didn't stop crying for about an hour!!

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
