Ahh, the memories that brings back...

Mum didn't have to bring that out too often. I seemed to turn out ok-ish :D

Dad used his belt or a razor strop.

I've never spent time in the cells or time in hospital because of it.

864401 2010-03-06 11:43:00 wooden spoon? about as effective as whipping someone with a drinking straw. Go pick one up and see what you can damage with it. Be lucky to crease a bit of paper. Metla (12)
864402 2010-03-06 12:06:00 Possibly the Bus driver had bus tickets with which to hand out some punishment but chose not to do that at the time.

He might have had to urinate on them so they would be wet and effective.

I actually got the thin bamboo stick. Flexes a lot and won't snap easily.

I'm thinking very seriously about bringing back the stocks.

Not a lot of pain but I think it might take some of the toerags down due to everyone in the local community knowing who they are.

The police should apologize at the very least but they wont. Its typical of them to prosecute just like they did when that gun shop owner shot a crazed man with a knife in his store.

We all don't know the facts as presented by the Police so you're making assumptions that what the accused said was correct .

However, looks like the Police did their job . Certainly on the facts presented in the newspaper it looks like a suitable case for sorting out without a charge being laid .

Blame the Sensible Sentencing types for putting the Police in this position where they pursue minor offences .

Judge clearly did what he is meant to do - same thing Judges do every day up and down the country .
