Re: Here's a thing

Now I'm Wondering if Rhian is doing a psychological project on us and we are the lab rats

Yep. Hence why it seems a bit unkind to assume the girl with the flag had been doing anything wrong and that teachers were at fault in letting her carry it.

The only known breeches of acceptable behaviour are that of the lad and subsequently a girl

Yep. It's the apparant self control of the lad to not retaliate which is the main focal point. The flag has nothing to to with it.

If I weren't a boy, I'd be tempted to give her a jolly good biff on the nose if she is.

Even so, I hope you get to her before Todger does. I'm sure she'd prefer a sore nose to spitting out teeth. That boy is simply wild.

He's all talk. The worse that that big girl's blouse would actually do would be to wave his (yellow) feather duster at her.

You should get down to Genders-R-us. There's a sale on, with over 50 options to choose from. Don't be late; when they're gone, they're gone.

Don't you believe it, Dex, I've heard his dirty looks are life threatening.

Don't believe a word he says Harbal. In reality he lives in a rented room in a static caravan based in Rhyll.

Afraid not. His real job is driving round in an old white van asking people if they've got any scrap metal they want to get rid of.
