GF, after seeing something on the telly earlier in the day about hunting and the hunting ban, my mind got into gear. I what is everyones stance on the GF on hunting? I myself don't care too much for hunting, but I have done it once before and enjoyed the experience. I wouldn't do it again, mind. How about yourselves? What is your current stance on hunting?

I'd be interested to hear Paul and Sutty's views on this. My mate works in a primary school in Liverpool, he's always wanted that career and loved it at first, but he said he's seriously thinking about packing it in. He reckons there's two young lads there - one in particular - who he describes as "extremely violent". He reckons one in particular just turns up and knocks shit out of a random kid every day, gets bollocked, then does the same the next day. He reckons the head is 'scared' of expelling them because it's a 'legal minefield'. He said the parents aren't arsed, and that the staff have arguements about it in the staff room all the time because they're that frustrated with it all. A second ago, I had a text off another mate who's a secondary school teacher, and he said two lads have been caught smoking weed - and sent home for the day - that's all. The last one sounds trivial (does it? Sign of the times I suppose!) but isn't that how it starts?!? Getting away with shit like that at that stage of your life is going to come back and haunt someone somewhere down the line I reckon. My secondary school teacher mate seems to get by on his witts from what I can tell, by cutting deals "do your work and I'll let you play on the WII". And was once told while helping with a PE lesson "If they decide to walk out of school don't bother arguing with them, it's not worth it." Seems to be very little authority, respect, or indeed a healthy dollop of fear there from what I can see, admitedly from a distance.
