Farouk James, Youtube kid who is complaining that all the local secondary catholic schools demand that boy's hair should be cut to a reasonable length.
Farouk (8) says it will make him feel sad and change his personality. Meanwhile Mummy is saying that he wouldn't cut his hair for a hundred pounds and she will simply fill in the school's application forms as 'non binary' when it comes to sex, that way the school will be forced to accept him.
This is not a religious thing, it may be to do with his status on Youtube, but either way imo, you wanna go to a specific school, abide by the rules.
Jeez when I think ... my first senior headmaster ruled with an iron rod, you hardly dared to breathe when you walked past his study. If he heard you you'd be thrashed within an inch of your life. Our precious little Farouk wouldn't have had to have his hair cut, it would've fallen out!
Why should a child's hair affect their education? A girl can have long hair and girls do better in school than boys.
I'd have thought that in the extreme case of Forouk it would be a H&S thing. Apart from anything else the three pupils sitting behind him wouldn't be able to see the teacher. Anyway for what it's worth I agree with the Department of Education.
School uniform plays a valuable role in contributing to the ethos of a school and setting an appropriate tone. Most schools in England have a school uniform or dress code, and other rules on appearance. DoE strongly encourages schools to have a uniform as it can instil pride; support positive behaviour and discipline; encourage identity with, and support for, school ethos; ensure pupils of all races and backgrounds feel welcome; protect children from social pressures to dress in a particular way; and nurture cohesion and promote good relations between different groups of pupils. Above all, many schools believe that school uniform supports effective teaching and learning.
When a trusted public figure like actor Tony Robinson appears in the latest TV advert promoting the sale of coins distributed by the scam merchants London Mint Office.
Given his socialist values, for which he was knighted, which presumably make him anti profiteering and concerned with exploitation of the little man, he is nevertheless happy to participate in a confidence trick, duping uninformed coin collectors to part with paying ten times the market value of the coins they receive making huge profits for the company. Many think they are buying from the Royal Mint.
There are heart rending stories of collectors over a lifetime bequeathing their collections to their widow in the belief it will provide financial security on their death, only for the widow to find she has acquired scrap metal.
If he was a Tory it would be fine though...
Just as bad but you wouldn't call him out as a hypocrite.

If you are a part time a***hole its bad, but if you are a full time a***hole it's not worth mentioning.

Petlog............The robbing b@st@rds Stopped the breeder of my dog putting the chip in my name and then charge us both £17 to register and re register the dog in 10 minutes of each other.
Certain things with modern day football. Press intrusion/Sky/Wembley totally commercialised(should be England & main Cup finals only) /football commentator s telling us what a footballer had for breakfast or how many dumps they've had today, rather than telling us the names of players/passes/patterns of play etc & foremost the scum that is a football agent. They've got us over a barrel & should be regulated... or hung!
Is it not possible for people to go two hours without eating or talking?
Some tubsters even appeared to be having their evening meal in the auditorium.
The bloke directly opposite in the adjacent aisle had in his possession the biggest bag of crisps I’ve ever seen, packet was about 10 feet tall. Film was a good 10 minutes in and he was still fumbling about panning for crisps, making the most noise I’ve ever heard, apart from a plane taking off. All the crumbs were landing handily on his belly which he proceeded to brush off himself at the end of his feast, onto the floor. He then lined up a six foot long cup of coke, slurping it down to the last ice cube.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the auditorium, other cinema-goers appeared to be attending their own crisp packet convention.
My solution is for the manufacturers of crisp packets to incorporate an electric current within the innards of the packet meaning that every time Wayne & Waynetta touch it, they have 1000 volts shot through their bloated bodies.

I once got chucked out of the cinema for bringing my own food. I protested, but they weren't having any of it. "But it's been ages since I had a barbecue"

Once had someone directly infront of me in the theatre bring in a huge box of fried chicken.... was absolutely disgusting. She didnt pull it out until about an hour in so it must have been cold. She then proceeded to munch away putting the bones in her handbag. Worst thing was it was chicken cottage...

Has anyone notice how long it takes to buy all the kids hotdogs, popcorn and drinks and then how difficult it is to stop them throwing half of it on the people on either side?
Relying in them eating that as their main meal of the day ffs. Least they could do is send round ushers half way through the film asking if anyone wants some more to eat/drink.

Hope he hadnt just asked you what you thought of the conference
Not loving this general anti London vibe at present.
It seems politicians of every persuasion are jumping on the supposed London centric cart to enhance their standing North of Watford at the expense of us poor southerners .
Boris diverting funds to pay off his new mates in the North and Midlands. The press making Labour leader candidates with London background as no go candidates. The call to sidestep Wembley for the football, the idea of moving the House of Lords up country and now those cheeky Northern Cocks are even demanding to have trains that work up there. Whatever next?
The thing is your average Northerner isn't built to cope with the 24/7 lifestyle, the pressure, the sweat box cramped conditions, the pollution, travelling to work for more than 30 minutes, the extreme cost of housing, the price of our beer and coffee at nearly 3 quid a throw. My guess is they'll eventually get what they so crave through feeling victimised and then bloody well regret it.
Aye up lad remember when a pint of ale would cost yer a quid, you could still breathe the fresh mountain air, you could buy a detached property in yer own field for the price of one em them fancy ... what d'ya call em? Studio effing flats. Well I'll be buggered!

Good question @suzisausage and will there be a discount when travelling with your whippet
Kids and pushchairs in Coffee shops. Go and drink in M&S or Burger King with your screaming kids and leave me in peace to enjoy my Cortado.
The coffee shop in our local supermarket is more like a creche these days ... trying to get a seat with dozens of pushchairs around is a nightmare.
I'm not a coffee shop person as much as I've tried to be. One of the reasons is the acoustics always seem to be awful and I can hardly hear myself think let alone someone I'm having a drink with. The onslaught of mothers with children in them reinforces why I don't settle in coffee places, can't really blame the mothers as selfish as it is dragging noisy, energetic kids along for an overpriced hot drink
People that don't understand the difference between a public park and a nature reserve. Please keep your excitable kids, your smelly mutt and your overloud conversations out of the latter. They're meant for wildlife and for loners like me, not as general recreation areas.
Worst offenders are the gaggles of old grannies who prowl around covered in pin badges of all the wild birds they'll never see because everything they say comes out like it's shouted through a megaphone. Here's a little tip, don't say very much and keep the volume at whisper level; that way you might not need the badges to remember what the birds look like.
