Eednud Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 When I was a young man back in the 1960's ..... Morgan Academy in Dundee was celebrating the centenary of it's opening and decided all classes would be photographed which wasn't a regular thing back then. They banned every boy with long hair from having their photo taken. They didn't send any of us home so we just decided plunk the rest of the day in protest. Their definition of long hair was any length over the collar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to tell me that, I've been in the military 28 years. But I don't like to talk about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I got threatened with being sent home early a couple of times when I was in about 5th year at school for having (fairly bog standard for the purposes of the thread tbh) facial hair. Which always used to confuse me because multiple staff members had very full beards or moustaches or the like including the deputy headmaster, so it always struck me as being a touch hypocritical. Most of the teachers didn't give a shit but there were one or two - and it was always just the same one or two that would pull me up - who seemed to take it as a personal insult if you rocked up in class with a wee goatee or the like. Still don't fully understand why but would just have a shave on the rare occasions it got to that point rather than try to argue with any of the staff over it - was usually after an extended holiday period or something where I let it grow out a bit.All the time I was reading this I couldn't get this out my head. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The school stated that ‘injury was being caused to younger students’ because of ‘ever-larger bags’ being carried on their shoulders.

Spunked all our money on the failed Darien scheme and then got hit with the Alien Act in England that forced the upper class landowners into a political union to save their skin (money) at the expense of the population's wishes and then 300 years of colonial policy that led to an uneven distribution of wealth among the populace and a natural subservience to Westminster. Should be alright after independence tho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why you would ever need such a thing, where to get one nor how it would fit in a standard pencil case. I would have loved one though. It sounds like an ideal shuriken to go with a 30cm shatterproof samurai sword. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
