There's been a debate on this site of epic proportions between heavyweight Mahoney and middleweight Stevens regarding whether teachers have it easy. I know plenty of teachers, some of them have been spat at, punched, constantly abused and one even had a w*nk aimed at her (not sure this went 'hit the target' tho), all of these sound quite hazardous quirks of the job. In New Zealand, Neil sits down with his IT pals and plays Championship Manager all day over his network, probably. It's a debate that will rage on through the ages, but I think teachers suffer a bit in certain aspects (despite the 3 months of holiday), like bringing their work home with them every night, whereas most of us can leave our work head (Wurzel Gummidge style) at the office. Anyhoo, I'll let you two battle it out...


Fab weekend of football, Arsenal caning Blackburn, Man U losing and Tottenham bottom of the pile, it doesn't get much better. To top it off, I've shot to the top of the Schnorbitz Fantasy League (my Spurs supporting friend D Brown is bottom of that). Poor David Bentley, i really feel sorry for him. Actually, I don't, I am bathing in a pool of schadenfreude here, brilliant, I implore all Spudz fans to just keep looking at the table, it won't bite, lovely isn't it? Hmm?


Champions League returns this week too, we've got a tough game away to Kiev. I remember seeing them play at Wembley against Arsenal when Shevchenko and Rebrov terrorised Arsenal's defence ( most notably Martin Keown), they were such a good counter attacking side they really took your breath away. Still, they aren't the same team anymore, but any trip out east is always tough, as you'll soon learn when i get around to publishing Kristian's Euro diaries, think he missed a Kiev-Arsenal game once due to being kept in a police cell off his box on vodka...


See the world's heading into financial meltdown, something to do with Jens Lehmann? Anyoo, just proves that you can't build a world on capitalist cash as the mountain will surely topple down. Most people's ideology would be for all men to be equal, but when one man sits on top of a great pile of cash, he'll have further to fall, so there. Thing is, every other bugger is dragged along, hardly fair, is it?

You really are trying to wind me up with your posts at the moment! And its working.
I'm not really sure who leaves their work at work and doesnt think about it at home. I often have to log into work, take calls late at night and sometimes have working days that start at 7.30am with meetings and then eventually switch off late in the evening. My point is, a teacher, chose to be a teacher, they didnt fall into the job, they made a decision to become a teacher, knowing about the pay, etc. Spat at etc...call the police, I believe punching and w#nk flinging are criminal offences.

"Most people's ideology would be for all men to be equal" not on your nelly! Let lazy people get away with not working, reward the stupid! Get a grip...most of those people with that ideology would sponge of the rest of us. Capitalism is great and its a boss ride.
