Poldi. The manshaft's third highest scorer, won a world cup.

That's not so bad in itself, of course; they learn bugger all at school nowadays, in any case. No, the thing is, two of his little brothers have insisted on accompanying him, so I shall really be for it when their mother finds out.

And it's no good explaining truthfully that it's not my fault (I did take the precaution of getting the young criminals to swear faithfully that they wouldn't finger me for having fronted the score). Kids *love* Poldi.

Dumme Männer, you see. Dummer Fußball. Boys will be boys and a' that

Never made any impact for us at all and now, aged just 31, is off to play in Japan.

A very, very strange career.

If you had packed them off to a decent boarding school as I advised you to some years ago, you wouldn't be faced with these difficulties. They would be leearning the important lessons in life, such as surviving cold showers, merciless brutality on the rugby pitch, and being sexually molested by predatory *****philes with mind-numbing halitosis.

Think on, r. I don't dole out my wisdom for fun.

Quite right. It won't be happening twice. The first one appears to have successfully escaped the what was coming to him (always mummy's boys, that sort. Would certainly blub). The following ones are certainly for the high jump though. Their ganny's former business partner is a big man in Harrow ..

Oh, I couldn't recommend the other place. No, no, that wouldn't do at all.

You don't want them to turn out pansies, do you? (NTTAWWI)

Practically unavoidable, I'm sorry to say. Eurotrash.

Yes, Harrow would be a very bad choice. Problem with Eton is that Little Master WES assures me they are 'scum'.

Plus, you want a boarding school a little more out in the country, red. Put some steel in them, so to speak.

That would never get past the censors as they won't have heard of it, whatever it was

And yet somehow this sort of brutality is considered a priviledge in our society. Not sure why that is. Presumably because one's father has paid for all this to happen.

I very much regret to report, a, that some recent contact with my old school and some of my old teachers confirms to me that this model actually died during the middle of the 80s. No more corporal punishment, for a start. No fagging. The crumbling Victorian pile entirely lacking in any form of measurable heating is now like a 5 star hotel, with deep carpets and plasma screens everywhere.

They'll be churning out pansies, you mark my words.

So what you're saying is that blokes of around our age were the last to experience the 19th century system of beating, bullying, ritual humiliation and torture, designed to turn out sadistic monsters to run the empire and which Hitler took as the model for the Hitler Youth.

WES minor doesn't know how lucky he is.
