  1. Pure waste of time if a competitive spectacle is what you are looking for, it’s a pure training and information gathering exercise ….nothing more.
  2. You can teach monkeys to be in TV adverts…..but they didn’t invent the f***ing TV ! lol
  3. And let’s not forget the historical reason white people did these exceptional things…….because we can !
  4. It’s why Pakis never went to the moon…..because Toyota don’t make rockets ! lol
  5. As an aside, my old farm collie mongrel opened her side up on a bit of fence wire last summer, like it literally skinned her to the point you lifted her skin up completely on one side and could see inside her ! So, took her down my local vet right away (7pm) and said to them what can you do with that ? They were a bit shocked but said they could fix it, so I said “How much, because if it’s a monkey I’ll take her home and shoot her” “€150” they said, smashing, crack on ! That dogs is 11, I can warrant €150 for a really bad injury on a mongrel collie that I’ve had for a d
  6. Alan Turing committed suicide after reading a McHull post rumour has it ? lol
  7. Just to throw a controversial stick in the fire here….. Do you not think some of this comes down to honesty and having the legs to sit a kid down and explain a few things in a kind and gentle way ? Like, there no way in gods green earth ten grand is warranted in a family pet !…….ever ! I don’t care if you’re Richard Branson, it’s just not on……part of the moral obligation of having an animal is having the backbone to put it out of its misery if it can’t live a full life. Its not something you want to do but it’s something you are obligated to do and I think that’s a great le
  8. The video is obviously ludicrous “Fur Baby” nonsense…… As for wider “misinformation” I think it’s really easy, take everything you read or hear, think of all the angles, consider what any hidden messages are, decide whether it’s nonsense ! Simple ! Unless is blatantly nonsense like that video
  9. Yeah, Jukel sent me it ! lol
  10. Serves you right with your shares and your car that burns fuel !…..rich c**ts like you should be made to feel the pain, you have a moral duty ! lol
  11. As a wider discussion about education, some great points there mate. But, in my humble opinion the problem with the British education system can be summed up in one word….OFSTED ! You speak of a lack of money, but in reality there’s enough money , just !……but it’s getting ironed out on absolute shite to appease OFSTED And the way schools are funded, secondary education especially, means that the OFSTED score is the difference between just keeping the head above water or bankruptcy ! OFSTED was the nice, neat political solution…..as always, pen pushers think the answer to eve
  12. I’m not a fan of it mate, I think it’s embarrassing…..there’s just no reason for it. My old man learned to read and write in a POW camp !…..but that’s in the 1940s !…….no reason to crack on like that in the last 50 /70 years. Sending your kids out in the world unable to read or write at 13 and doing it completely deliberately is like sending them out the door dressed in rags imho.
  13. Don’t you start me off about nuclear again !…..I’ve been dealing with McHull all morning ! lol
  14. McHull got asked to do some pro Bono work once but he said he couldn’t stand U2 !
  15. I look at like this mate, at some point in those peoples formative years there was an adult at home who knew that !!…….what the f**k were they upto while that poor f****r was going through life illiterate ? Like, that age group is my generation !…….absolutely no excuses for it.
  16. I was expelled and out working at 14 myself but you don’t have to stay a prick forever, walking round school with a massive chip on my shoulder giving not one f**k about anything or anyone….thats a one way ticket to being a massive prick all your life. I didn’t have any formal education but I had enough sense to know I didn’t want to be that bloke…..you have to grow up. But, having subsequently had experience of the education system, interacted with kids and parents in all sorts of ways and while I can agree that cream does rise to the top in many circumstance…..sometimes it don’t, s
  17. It comes down to effort mate, you do what is within your power to do given all the various circumstances of your life…..for some like you it will mean working extremely hard and putting your money into giving your kids the best education money can buy, for others it’s being a member of the PTA, a helper or reader in their spare time, other may homeschool if it’s within their power to do that….most people just do the best they can in their own way. However, far too many just want to Chuck them out at the gate every morning, not give two shits between 8:45 and 16:00 then have the school han
  18. @Bendigo Have you considered hiring McHull as a tutor ?
  19. Terrible mate, no man would want to walk a mile in your shoes and I can’t even begin to imagine the strength of will it took just to keep putting one foot in front of the other every day. This thread was never about autism, Bendigo never said that. It was me that mentioned it as an example of how the common misconception that home schooling somehow turns kids into a social cripple just isn’t true, as in if an autistic lad is a well rounded social being then that’s true for everyone…..it’s not home school that will effect someone’s social skills. Bendigo is simply is exploring b
  20. That’s the first thing you’ve been right about in 2 days ! lol
  21. I didn’t know what that was so I just looked it up…..amazing ! lol
  22. He’s more Trabant than Savant ! lol
  23. I wouldn’t break out the champagne just yet if I was you ! lol
  24. Ok, can I ask: What is your experience of the British primary and secondary school system and what is your experience of home schooling ? How many meetings have you sat with the OFSTED inspectorate? How many times have you had to take them round a school for the inspection? How many meetings have to sat in with SLT to discuss KS 1, 2, 3 etc How many meetings have you sat in to discuss budgetary requirements and academic requirement for the coming school year ? How many meetings have you sat in for secondary disciplinary cases, where maybe kids are coming form ter
