One Last Thing

[andrewducker]

I'm willing to bet there's a lot of fuss over this piece on two 10-year-olds being arrested because they drew violent stick figures.

That's probably because it's easy to miss the fact that they were drawing them in order to bully a classmate.

Personally, I'd have killed to have a couple of my classmates arrested for making my life hell from 1983-1989.

And now I'm off to Devon until Monday.  There may be internet access.  There may not.  We'll just have to see...

Could still organise it, isn't that what friends reunited is for?

Me, too (in roughly the same time period). School is one aspect of my life that I am utterly glad to see behind me forever.

The best revenge is seeing the bullying and popular kids from school looking 20 years more than their real age, with dead end jobs and a hopeless, vacant look in their eyes.

At school the power structures are harsh and seem all encompassing, yet within a decade of leaving you can see clearly how patehrtic and trivial it all was. So the swotty/creative kids all went on to do well in life while the trogs work in Tesco's or factories and gain twice their healthy body weight.

And I'm not bitter....
