Cheap TatOneEyedMonster remindes us about the crap you can buy in pound shops: "Batteries that lasted about an hour and then died. A screwdriver with a loose handle so I couldn't turn the damn screw, and a tape measure which wasn't at all accurate."
Similarly, my neighbour bought a lawnmower from Argos that was so cheap the wheels didn't go round, it sort of skidded over the grass whilst gently back-combing it.
What's the cheapest, most useless crap you've bought?

Legless must be spying on me, because he seems to think he knows everything about me.Funny that the person who thinks it a good idea to cane a disruptive child thinks it's unfair for a lippy teenager to get punished for breaking the law and, crucially, acting exeedingly dangerously. It was a stupid, pointless, chavish thing to do. And you're PROUD of it. Why?
Keeping idiot teenagers off of machines they're not mature enough to handle sensibly (as you so clearly demonstrated with your ride) is not the action of a nanny state. It's bloody common sense.
And don't bring homosexuality into this. Safety laws deserve to be respected. Laws based on bigotry do not. There's a clear difference, and you know full well on which side of the fence your actions were.
Your 1960 vs 2007 examples made me chuckle. Unless you're a teacher, wouldn't you suggest that I, not long out of school (compared to you), am better able to describe current school life than you are?
Shock horror...perhaps you're complaining about how you THINK it is, rather than what it's actually like?
And lastly, just to snub my nose at you Legless, in my life I've probably been caned many more times than you have...but likely not under the same circumstances. ;)
