I read the news today oh boy! Page 1,550

Oh dear! *rethinks daughter-in-law strategy*

Actually while I didn't want to kill my own teachers, I'd certainly have taken an axe to a few of my sons' teachers.

You do remember the satire boom? That was to try and get rid of the reverence to politicos?

Civility is not the same as reverence.

There is no real justification for begining every interview with, "Why are you f**king lying to me you f**king f**ker?" or words to that effect.

Doesn't every student plot to kill their teacher at some stage?

There are quite a few teachers who I would like to kill whom I have just met socially.

Terribly sad about those 200 Nigerian girls, its a country so corrupt and brutal the government can't even fake interest.

Nor can the international media. :( Imagine what the response would be if these were white girls.

This video! :O :O

The media seems to have played alot of attention. But well there's no exciting photos for the media.
I think the US is finally having enough of picking fights with nut cases.
And Boko Haram are really, seriously, nuts.

What do you reckon, Old Rocker?

Do you fancy being from Greater Birmingham?

There has been apoplectic outrage at the very thought here in The Black Country.

That's my old school and is located in the village I still live in. I think the nearest we ever got to actually harming a teacher was when we boiled the domestic science teacher's keys. Things have ratcheted up a notch or two.

This would depends on whether you succumbed to an irresistible compulsion to take charge, boss everyone around and admonish anyone who lets the side down.

And on whether you bought me a drink.

Sadly Ross we've all had to take to wearing huge fake boobs at meetups to mollify him

Quite right!

They're making Wales part of even Greater Birmingham and quite possibly Belgium.

That's me! But in my defence I do offer forty strokes of the cane as well.
