I don't feel we've explored the cunts theme as much as we could.

I think what expat said is key.

for lots of us, this kind of thing is really quite important. I find it very embarrassing that I constantly have to ask favours or risk (or imagine) the dirty looks of others at these kind of things.

When you make a thread up, and people like me get drawn in because we do care about it, I do feel like you are treating those who aren't clever/lucky/whatever enough to be in your lovely/clever situation with contempt.

If the kids were annoying you - why not move to another seat?

I can see Cod is playing games again. Which I rather like usually.

I have to own up here though to complete lack of nuance/context, not having seen this one on MN before. Was taking it all seriously. Will sit back and watch and learn...

Oooh it's like Cod is Chris Morris and OBM is Noel Edmonds.

You made it up? FFS, Cod, get a hobby!

pmsl

She only made half of it up

if you can have both parents there, able to take notice, then great, fantastic, wonderful. If neither can concentrate because little one is unhappy, then not so good.

Not for the parents, or the other people around.

I've seen the induction breifing turned into a three ring circus, with poor behavior of kids and parents, with no attempt to get the kids to quieten down. A real PITA for everyone. and these are kids of 11!

TO THE OP, she should have made them wait outside

I don't like to tak the hump! except when people are being played for a cunt or similar.
Mostly, though, I like to smirk and make wankerish remarks.

However I can see that I might have overreacted.

I think it really is a school thing. I just never got practical jokes - and if I'm honest I assocaite them with the kind of boarding-shcool girls who go on to be bouncingly, cheerfully successful in PR or whatever,but are still remembered with fear and loathing by the glasses girl who didn't have the right character-shoes and got an apple-pie bed every night.

genuine LOL at Noel Edmonds. You really are a cunt, 100x

[adjusts glasses, embraces OBM in cuntish embrace]

FWIW I hate practical jokes too. I hate all jokes to do with people losing dignity, like chairs being pulled out and whoopee cushions. I even hate v shaped fingers behind heads in photographs.

I also love how MB is still going on about badly behaved 11 y-o at school meetings.

She will finish what she wants to say. She will show her slides. She will NOT be distracted by badly behaved members of the audience rowing and adjusting their glasses and embracing in the aisles.

Thankfully I wasn't giving the talk, the headmaster was. Or very nearly wasn't, while 11 year olds (or very nearly) charged up and down the aisles, and along the back of the seating. While their parents sat and chatted to the people sitting next to them.

Granted he wasn't the most charismatic of men, but even so....

does anyone have a parent-governor application letter I could nick?

does anyone have a parent-governor application letter I could nick?

I'd like one for me, and one for my friend.

LMAO!! Leave Cod alone she was egged on to do this thread and what a great thread it has turned out to be. LOL LOL,
