One time, head under the taps, bare arse, a mate laughed at me, so the teacher made him cane me, but said it wasn't good enough, so did it himself anyway. What a total arsehole.  I hear he was had up on some charge years later.
I think - I hope - that there's less chance of getting away with that kind of sadistic behaviour in these times. I'd like to think that we're all more aware of the damage done by it.
But naturally there will be those who say that we're all just too 'woke' these days.

I wouldn't trust myself though if I thought I could get away with a bit of target practice.
The comments in this thread make me wonder if perhaps there might not be a possibility of some brave (& younger & fitter) person, who might like to take up the task of shall we say 'evening the score' with some of those past absolute arsehole teachers...

And...I'd go further & say that just the idea might make an interesting TV series. tracking them down & dishing out a bit of what they brought upon themselves.  




I appear to be getting far worse as I get older.


in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
