Vulcan bomber skyward!

Postby Stigish » Tue Jan 12, 2010 11:46 pm

Looks like the snow is hinting at 'plan B' ;)............Let the weather bring Vulcans back into the news headlines!

The weight of snow on a museum's prized Cold War bomber has left it seemingly frozen at take-off.

Oh no - you can't sit children in corners now - you might hurt their feelings - or they might have an allergic reaction to corners - and what about their human rights - or they might have a VERY big Dad with no sense of right/wrong.

It's all gone mad I tell you .... mad :D :D :D :D :D

Now that would be a good punishment - build all round classrooms and when they misbehave tell them to go and sit in the corner - they'd be quiet for hours just searching for one :ymdevil: :ymdevil:

No they wouldn't they would go round asking if anyone had a corner for them to sit in .Most of them do not know what a corner is these days .Bring back the belt "NOW".18 inches of thich hard leather never did me any harm "cos" I always moved my hand on it's way down .Sneaky bugger brought it straight back up and nearly always got you .

I'm "young" enough not to have endured the cane or the belt but I did suffer severe brain damage from the amount of chalkboard erasers that clouted me on the head... thats my excuse anyway ;)
