    What is interesting is that Joe being the person he is would be on the side of the bishops if this was 1970.

    Why oh why does Louise bother asking Joe what's coming up on the show when it's the same show every day.

    Not condoning the abuse, but anyone in their mid fiftys got whacked, beaten, at school and home, Joe's in his sixties (very young 🤔) and he's making out this is all new to him,

    A lot of the reason kids didn't tell their parents was, because their parents and mine would say " they didn't hit you for no reason and you'd get more slaps.

    A cousin of mine was very good at hurling at school and the other teams would give him digs with the hurley and be shocked when it didn't bother him.

    As he'd say we were getting hit with them every day in school from the teachers,

    Joe only getting callers to read out the stories for his twisted pleasure, when he knew it was going on, and more than likely was the teachers pet and the class snitch and probably told the teachers who was playing up

    One woodwork teacher just missed a lads head with a chisel, it cracked a window and said look what you made me do get out 🤔

    I always think of that when i watch dodge ball 🤔

    Personally I found the lay teachers by far the most violent but that was just in my experience

    Or at the very least, be entered in one of the show categories.

    Bovine or porcine, not entirely sure which.

    this is really disturbing. Did "celebrated local artist" Joe Duffy draw it himself, I wonder?

    "Hanging on the clothes knob" seems particularly egregious

    Its not that shocking anymore this was a quare old spot back in the day, mid 50s so didn't see much beatings going on, one thing that does stand out to me was our headmaster in primary school was a mad republican and had an awful hatred of the English. 2 teacher school so had him for 3 years and this lad was a lunatic, national anthem sung every day, I think he wanted to deploy his own small army.

    I wonder did kiids in other countries regularly get the **** kicked out. of them by "adult teachers" (what other kind is there?) back in the day or was it a phenomenon peculiar to this part of the world?

    Fcuck off - this is ludicrous. This guy (no, not Joe) is an absolute spoofer

    The femle teacher heated her ring on a radiator in order to burn your wrist by applying it?

    She did in her hole!

    We exported many priests and nuns into teaching roles around the world.

    No I meant your bog standard (not imported) teacher in the UK , for instance, back in the day - would they be regularly doling out the slaps without fear of accountability?

    I's a "misery off" at this stage. Each caller trying to outdo the last with their tales of abuse and battery. It's like the Monty Python "4 yorkshireman sketch"

    Did Billy Bunter not get six on the best?

    I say it was the same. The place King Charles was sent to in Scotland was supposed to be bad.

    what’s the ultimate aim here - a huge compensation scheme for everyone who attended school 1940-1980??

    It's purely for the host's amusement/gratification. If anyone is upset - there's links to helplines on the RTE web page

    I think it's letting people get it somewhat out of their system and acknowledge it
