Be a teacher and not have at least 5 kids in your class "suffering" from ADD/ADHD.

In other words, kids whose parents are too wishy washy to actually tell them off, and feed them a balanced diet of crisps, coke and sweets, let the child play video games all day every day, then wonder why it's hyperactive :rolleyes:

This phenomenon is probably linked to another thing that you could do in Ireland but can't anymore.
Give a child a spanking or a lash of the wooden spoon.

Wooden Spoon, unsual weapon of choice to say the least.

Yeah. I think that one would be a welcome return. Less little brats runing around annoying you for a start. At least when we did it, it was funny. Not any more. Now i just want to pick up an 8 year old and throw him out in front of a car and watch him die.

i miss the old days before we got flooded by foreigners. it hit me when i worked in a handmade irish chocolate factory and all the signage was in polish and chinese, no english. i couldnt talk to anyone on my 2 15min breaks. i was the only irish person on the floor. there was a couple of irish women upstairs that had prob been their for years. i left because it was 7euro an hr and i felt like a foreigner in my own country workin for worse money than a mars bar maker even tho the produce is sold for much higher prices around the world than a mars.


i miss the irish currency. i remember wondering if id get 12euro for my birthday or they'd give me a new tenner. kids got screwed on that one.
its still strange thinking about it. your not really a true millionaire with 1,000,000 euro, are you?

i miss getting into a banger of a car and hearing funny noises or wondering if it would brake down. then they brought in the mot and took away a cars personality. they only crashed if you didnt love them.
