Nah. It qutie claelry sttaes taht the frsit and lsat lteetrs need to be in the crorerct palce.

It was largely a thing of the past by the time I got to high school and, reading some of these stories, I'm glad it was. It sounds horrific for some of you. We had a teacher who had apparently taught Morrissey at Stretford Grammar. There was something in a book about the Smiths that his...

I bet very few of them were going through this rigmarole when they were in the youth teams or the reserves. As soon as they know the cameras are on them though...

Dr. Strangelove (1964) - me and my lads are on a mission to watch every film on one of those scratch off posters and we chose this last week. I have to say it was the film I least looked forward to so far but it surprised me enormously and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Peter Sellers did amazingly...

Only Fans worker?!?

And yet we'll still be treated to things like these "interesting" chats about the UK / Morocco time difference and Chris63's personal stash of videos of basically cartoon fit women as if it's something we should be in awe of.

Really good post that. Extremely honest.

Shocking. It was always hard to tell your parents that a teacher didn't like you because, like you say, every kid must say it. I remember having that feeling about the odd one or two though. I remember a trial for the school team and the physics teacher (who I felt didn't like me because I...

Bloody hell! One of the dinner ladies at my primary school force fed me on at least two separate occasions. Spaghetti Bolognese one time and dumplings the other. Actually held me head and forced the fork into my mouth. She lived round the corner from us. When my Nanna heard about it, she...

The same Irish history teacher I mentioned in my OP used to do that same hair trick but just to stand you up.

Well over 400 badges on it now.

A few posts have appeared in a thread upstairs where people are discussing the antics their teachers used to get up to as punishments. I'm intrigued. I joined high school just as corporal punishment was finished but we had a history teacher who would make you put your fingers on the edge of an...

Jesus Christ! We had a History teacher who was caught necking whisky in his store cupboard on numerous occasions. His tricks were to grab the small hairs at the bottom of your neck and twist them whilst pulling you to your feet. His other one was to make you put your fingers on the desk with it...

On the City app, when we play away, I go on it to see the line ups but it always shows me our opponents' team first and I have to click to get City's.

I use it to look at fixtures and to get the team news on a matchday, that's it. It's annoying (maybe I should put this in the small thing that irritate you in Off Topic) that when we play away, the home team's line up comes up first and I have to press a button to get City's team. Should be set...

Eintracht Frankfurt might have something to say about the final.

I get that. But what reason do you have for wanting them to win? Genuinely intrigued.

I get wanting Newcastle to win today, but why the fuck would you want them to beat Palace?

Nailed up a blackboard though.

"What bus are you getting home Kev?" "Either the 64 or the 66 Nanna." "Why don't you get the 554? It comes at quarter to and quarter past the hour." "Nanna, we're had this conversation at least once a week for the past decade. Just because you know the bus timetable, it doesn't mean the 554...
