Were/Are you bullied at school?

Pickled again, iGSM?

Incidentally iGSM - what happened to your old pal Lester Burnham? I ain't seen him in these parts for a while.

Maybe he's just changed his username without me realising it. Or has he quit after flirting with you for three months before realising you were a feller?

We've all been there Lester. You're a fine sort and the board misses you. If you haven't gone and are still here under a pseudonym then forgive my ignorance. But it was Dan's fault.

Hmmm...

So are we to presume that poor ol' Lester is dead?

And I'm sure he owed me a fiver too.

He replied to this thread on the 6th:

Let's give him a full month before presuming deathness.

Shrek's don't get bullied - plus the fact I was 5'9" when I was 11 (I am only 5'10" now) so the chances of me being bullied were pretty remote.

Were you playing the bully game yourself Bob? :P

Nope - I don't like bullies. Beneath the surface they are actually weak and pathetic. Get them on their own, without the posse behind them, and they won't say boo to a goose.

In these liberal days, bullies have a free reign. Teachers cannot touch them, the kids have their 'rights'. In my day, a bully would get 6 of the best with the cane in front of the whole school and eternally shamed into behaving themselves. Nowadays, if a bully was caned, he would be sunning himself in Barbados, because Social Services deemed it psychologically theraputic (helped by a nice compensation payout), whilst the teacher did 18 months in Brixton Prison.

I didn't think so, But, I was just being an ass (whet else is new). ;) I myself despise bullies as well. :P

You are quite correct Bob.

As you are all aware by now, beneath all the bluff I am God's own original coward.

But bullying is such a great hoot.

Does anyone remember Gripper Stebson?
Now there was a guy we could all look up to.

fatty.

Good ol' Gripper!

What would Claire possibly have seen in pesky Stewpot with beefcake like Gripper about, cracking heads and stealing lunch money? It beggared belief.
