Reply to: Should we bring back the birch?

[scooterscot]

So much felling in the UK by developers, yes we should bring back the birch to balance out the water table.

And beatings, lots more beatings.

‘Birching’ never went away. It just costs a small fortune to get that sort of abuse now.

No it doesn't - I know this really good place near Kings X that....

ooops!

I saw a documentary on the Taleban a few years ago (before they came to power) and one of their blokes had nicked a pistol from another talitubby. They were going to lop of one of his hands but because they did not want come across as 'too severe' on film (plus the bloke was their mechanic) they decided to commute this to a severe beating on the soles of the feet.

To add insult to injury, the guy had to give thanks to the great whatever after each stroke. It looked unbelievably painful and I'm sure it would catch on as a Saturday night tv in Britain (they've reintroduced gladiators so anything is possible)

If they had banned guns then this would never have happened! sorted...

Indeed.

The cat o'nine tails is much more efficient...

Rubbing the salt in afterwards makes one's eyes water a bit too, so I've heard.

Jackpot! Bringing back the Birch is just about the most stupid idea I've heard for a while.

So you're not called "soft bloke" for nothing. "Soft in the head bloke" more like.

This board is for stupid nonsense - no more good ideas.

No, and I hate black ash as well.

Sorry, thought I had stumbled into "british woodworkers" by mistake.

Do they have a forum? We could go there for the cuk summer holiday.

Is that not a wimple?

Dont bring facts into this!

[BrilloPad]

Oi

And if there is birching who is going to do it?

We could start by looking at who has posted the most on tpd during last year - I bet http://www.testpleasedelete.com can answer that in seconds.....

To criticize is to volunteer...
