Pole dancing! That must mean naked, right?

Nope:

The Original Ray?

Does Ray reckon any subject apart from the clergy is a vocation "these days".

I see the pictures are from SWNS.COM. a website that seems to be very popular with the Mail at the moment as a source of pointless stories. Small World News Service just about sums up the Mail.

Ray might want to rephrase that and read up on the use of apostrophes before posting. That would save him looking rather silly.

But he's expressing himself. That's the important thing.

A parent of one pupil at the school spotted the pictures, printed off five pages of them and posted them through neighbours’ front doors.
She included a letter which read: ‘If you are as appalled as I am by these images which these tramps post freely for the world to see, how safe are our children?
‘Answer, not very! Children might be seeing these images.

And if they hadn't seen them before, they will now, owing the fact that some stupid woman has posted print-outs through their parents' front doors.

Tramps?

Even some people who think the Mail and parents are acting like twats, seem to think there's something bad about having photos of teachers on Twitter drinking.

Printing pictures from soemone's Facebook account and putting them through people's letterboxes? Is that not breaking some law? If not it is very sinister.

Someone who proports to be the manager of the club has pointed out that isn't a pole in the picture, so the headline is incorrect.


"I'm the manager of this venue, V Lounge, in Milton Keynes and can say that this is not a pole, its the side of a wall!I can recall this particular group and will say that they caused no harm to anyone else and were simply enjoying themselves as you should do outside of work! They weren't swearing, fighting or causing any trouble unlike some and are welcome back anytime!
- Andrew Davies, Milton Keynes, UK, 21/5/2011 12:18"

I posted this, don't know if the mods will like it though:

"If teachers are to be expected to behave as if they are in the classroom 24/7, 365 days a year then they deserve a massive pay rise. Currently they are paid for 37 hours a week so what they do in the other 131 hours per week is nobodies business but theirs. Why have the teacher's names been published and not the lowlife who went around pushing private photographs through letterboxes." Jim, Durham

there's a classic quote from fred knox in notts who's written

As a father its women like this that made me put my boys into private school where they receive a first class education from intelligent dedicated MALE teachers. Local authority schools are full of grisly half-witted females like this posing as teachers and destroying kids education

hmm i remember a male teacher who got totally pissed once, another who was a biot of weirdo and another who was having an affair with another teacher

They'd certainly do a lot to lower truancy rates.

Two of my teachers were involved in a love triangle which ended in a murder. One teacher's girlfriend left him for another teacher and a couple of month's later was found dead in his flat, the jilted ex-lover was the chief suspect for about six months. You can imagine the speculation and gossip that went around the school as it was played out in the news. The victim had her neck broken and the pathologist's report stressed the point that only someone very strong would have been able to do that. The suspect, who wasn't much liked, was a huge rugby playing PE teacher and pretty much the whole school instantaneously found him guilty. Luckily for him, sometime later, the police caught a burgler whose finger prints were all over the flat and eventually confessed to the murder. I don't know what happened to the poor man but he never returned to the school and never played for his rugby again. I was told by a friend years later that he emigrated shortly after the case, but I don't know if that's true.
