If there's one thing
being raised by teachers taught me, it's that it's NEVER the teachers and ALWAYS the parents. Except when it is the teachers. But it's still mostly the parents, even then.

SO true.
My wife sometimes wonders why a kid behaves like they do, she then invites the parents in for a chat. Inside of 2 minutes she'll know why, and it will all be down to the parents attitude.

On a boat?
Under the ever-present threat of being sent to war?

In a world of shit with easy access to light armament.

+ VERY cheap beer.

First time I ever had a drink
on a military base, and realised how cheap everything was, I went a bit crazy. It was about 35p for a single malt. I ended up blitzed on beer and Laphroaig (you have to be a bit pissed to be drinking Laphroaig) and when I woke up the next morning I'd only spent about a tenner.

Yup.
Double = about 35p
Can of Coke = 70p
:/

Bollocks.
Laphroaig is lush.

In the right context.
Sometimes, especially when I'm already tipsy, I love it. If I have a first drop of it for a while and aren't feeling brave enough to get past the initial reaction, though, it's like cough medicine.

I forget, is Laphroiag the one that taste of bonfire?
It's good stuff.
( monster munch person, man, woman... camera... TV?, Thu 7 Feb 2013, 19:24, closed)

Yep
That's a pretty good description.
(SnowyTheWereRabbit the Leporid from Hell, Thu 7 Feb 2013, 19:52, closed)

I thought it was the one that tasted of burnt carpets

Laphroaig is expensive tramp fuel, Highland park is much nicer.

I know someone
Who 'brings up' marines on a regular basis. Not sure if she'd be an effective deterrent for naughty kids tho.

Wimp.
Put me in charge and I'd make EVERY school EXACTLY like the one at the start of the EXCELLENT Kurt Russell documentary Soldier.

I want a personal trainer like the one he had making that.
He was 47 years old when he filmed that, FFS!

He filmed it with a BROKEN FUCKING LEG too.
