I don't suppose they've been fined or anything. Crikey, I used to reprimand the kids in school. Reprimanding is useless.

I got the strap....not often as I was fairly well behaved lol.

I never hit a child. Although I had colleagues who did. I just tried to reason with them and also gave them my hard stare....... that Paddington Bear one pinched my hard stare thing!! :-)

I got the strap quite a few times and cane once, I also had a blackboard cleaner thingy bounce off my head for staring out the window. Following the abolition of corporal punishment I visited my daughters school and without the spectre of violence there seemed a lot more trust between teachers and pupils.

Ha ha. It was common practice back then, hard to believe now.

That is monstrous. I used the blackboard cleaner but never on a child just on the blackboard. A few times when they were very noisy/excited after painting or PE to quieten them down. I banged on the blackboard with it.
There was one time when I had laryngitis (don't know why I thought I'd be ok to teach but..... too conscientious) I used the blackboard rubber to attract attention. The kids were great, they were sympathetic and when I was whispering to them what to do they were really quiet. It made me laugh inside.

When are they going on sale

Insanity it is - but you can't actually blame the club, they are caught in an insane trap caused by the leeches (agents) in and around the players, and the players themselves. I said this right at the start of this thread, but THIS is the root cause of all of this - how have we collectively got to the point where anyone thinks its acceptabe to pay people 6 figures a WEEK to kick a ball around the pitch...

City made seventy three million pounds profit last year and eighty odd million the year before.

A reduction to £40 tickets for general admission and a 25% reduction in non-hospitality season tickets would cost the club approximately seven million over the course of a season presuming good cup and CL runs.

We pay Kalvin Phillips eight million per year to play for someone else.

.... and it would force other clubs (who can't really afford it) to follow suit and especially United whose funding of their new stadium will depend largely on how much they can make from matchday ...

You know it makes sense.

But does she track back ?

I believe she goes down quite easily in the box… I certainly would if she tackled me!!

There’s something the club are missing out on with regards to the new North Stand Level 2.

If the club really drove that as a huge atmosphere stand and fans made it work, made it famous, made it iconic, the club could find a sponsor for the stand that would make up for the shortfall of reducing ticket prices.

Look at what Fortuna Düsseldorf did:

It would be lovely to see the club announce a heavily incentivised pricing for the new NS as a proper home end. But now they've frozen season ticket prices they'll no doubt issue a sting by having it as single ticket admission at a higher rate instead!

The SSL3 pricing was good to start with, so let's see. But hard not to be negative these days.

Depends on the school and the pupils.

That’s interesting, so there was no real policy on corporal punishment? Teachers were left to their own devices as long as they fell within accepted boundaries?

I’m not sure there were any ‘accepted’ boundaries.

Looking back some of our teachers, particularly the PE ones, were nothing short of sadistic. Also, in hindsight I bet there was a fair few of them getting some kind of nonce thrill out of it.

In a maths class, I was daydreaming looking out if the window and the teacher sneaked up behind me (and by all accounts) drew his arm right back and smashed me open palmed on the back of my head
He hit me so hard my glasses flew off and just teetered on the edge of the desk
Even now, close to 50 years later, I wonder what would have been done if they'd hit the floor and smashed
It was an assault

We had a PE teacher as our form tutor one year. He had a Dunlop Green Flash trainer as his weapon of choice. But that obviously wouldn’t be enough on its own, so he’d adapted it and had a thick metal ruler running through it.

He’d bend you over his desk and whack you so hard on the arse that the desk would move. And it was some sturdy solid oak thing.

It was virtually random too. You didn’t have to do fuck all. It was just your turn every so often. Sick fuck.

Let those who are always banging on about the good old, pre woke days, have a bit of that medicine.

Any one any idea on a renewal date
