That was 'The Belt' in Scotland. Manufactured in Lochgelly, by one man, still are today, but just decorative items, bloody expensive! I found this down the back of a cupboard at work, can see where it is all cracked in the middle, from hanging over the 'belt' on the masters gowns. Just a medium this one, but you could get heavy and light versions, for music and drama teachers I remember getting it in Primary school, usually for fighting or just being an absolute twat.
When I was in school they did away with the belt, just for fun the teachers held a poll amongst the pupils the vote was two thirds in favour for keeping it. kids knew they needed the threat, so much for adults know best. PS I wouldnt be a teacher.
About 50% of the work force at my work are English, nice people. They all moved up here to have a nicer way of life. I have always stayed in this area, so its all I know, although I like it very much.
Regularly voted scariest teacher in school. Wee shits don't give me any hassle, if they do, they don't do it again
I just told Dougie's story at the pub and we all agreed: we love the Scots! And as for waiting for sunset before drinking: This is totally overrated! Keppler, Einstein, or Beethoven found out after extensive research: astronomy has no effect on acquiring a certain alcohol-level whatsoever! Rumor has it, you could even get drunk before noon! So D.D. posted the correct picture: as long as you wear Lederhosen, you never will be lying in the ditch sucking your thumb... (at least not because of excessive alcohol consumption)
Ah my scientific friend! I am so glad to finally start an international, astute survey and I am more than pleased to cooperate with a fellow alcohologist in whom I can put all my trust! Now for the 3 mentioned states of intoxication: I'd quickly rule no.1 out since you can achieve this state simply by applying too much after-shave. No.3 is a state with which most Germans can not correlate. Loss of bowel control due to alcohol consumption is not tolerated by our physique. Leaving No.2! A perfect state of well-being, not too easy to achieve and even involving social interaction. A grand scheme. In an emergency situation (e.g. not finding a mate willing to get pissed at 10 a.m.) you could always substitute your fellow drunkard with a lamppost! They are easy to throw your arm around and very good listeners! I suggest a trial of at least 3 drunkifications at a minimum of 2 different morning hours to obtain most impartial results. Bon chance and looking forward to your publication! Daniel
Scary yes, but who was the most scary? What we saw first was a biker trying to weave through a very small gap, then kicking the car. The car driver then appeared to retaliate by ramming the bike. The biker then jumps on the car bonnet and the car driver panics crossing the road. The biker then appears to attack the car driver through the drivers side window. He then leaves off to go and look at his bike. So, if you were judge and jury, where does the fault ly? 1. Biker is trying to squeeze through a small gap and gets frustrated and kicks the car - so it would appear that he starts things? 2. Car driver over reacts and knocks biker of his bike - so he/she is in the wrong? Just because we are all bikers, do we assume it's all the car drivers fault?
Hi jtd, I couldn't work out where this happened, As I would recommend staying the Hell out of there! Both side's totally over reacted ! But the rider seemed to fire off the first Salvo of ATTITUDE !! Bike seemed to be in far better condition than I expected, as I thought the car must have driven over it, must have gone through a gap further up !!!!????? Road rage is some scary crap Eh ! Seen some horrific news clips here in Australia ! Seeing this one shows we are not alone. capt
Mr O said "I remember getting it in Primary school, usually for fighting or just being an absolute twat." You haven't changed any then Ron ?
But your from Scotland.... when a scotsman says "Stitch that" he dont mean his mending his Kilt The scottish version of a KISS normaly leaves a Mark!!
No we do not, I did wonder how this started and I do think the "woman?" in the car was panicked and trying to get away I think there was more before hand also. The problem is , I sort of see both sides and this makes it worse cos it still ends up, what everway you look at it ,being scary,:- she could so easily be doing time and he could be dead.
For me the scariest thing of all is not what he did or what she did, but much more the fact is that stuff like this is happening at all ? When all we are trying to do is get to work or going to the shops or whatever and it could so easily have ended up a tragedy.
