Weren't they still teaching in Latin when you were at school?

So sorry, because of my working class education I tend to confuse my Spartans with my Trojans and my kaftans with my togas.

I've just noticed and it's clicked, it says 'Opti'parts. so f**k me it genuinely is for kids and you really are getting kids to use things like that?
Seriously you couldn't write it never mind make it up, has no-one ever sued anyone? Honestly, it's beyond wrong, I'm not joking now, that is seriously not right, hell compared to conkers, that needs bringing to the attention of the Health and Safety Executive. Wrecking kids knees before they're even fully grown. |

I think it was the Spartans, they also had the Agoge... which is a bit like RYA regional squad training in Lasers these days, except at least girls are allowed in- if they're butch enough.

Did the Trojans not put their newborns on the roof for their first night of life? No point in having weak babies in a warrior nation.

I built my own hiking bench when I was in oppies! Better to get fit then get hurt when you get tired out on the race course!

I'd better not look, I'd be tempted to buy one and cover it in lilac hammerite. |

Given that the school my children go to make them run through a field knee deep in mud twice a week (and one of my offspring actually enjoys it, the other not so much...) officially torturing children is still very much the done thing, so why not put them on the rack, too?
I've not looked - does it retail for enough to buy a small country with the money? |

What pray is that exactly, other than a product crying out for a consumer liability claim, it looks like something Medieval, right out of the Inquisition, people pay money for that? And we call it sport? Somebody please, tell me they don't use it on kids, are childline aware? I bet the RYA lawyers don't let it contain an 'RYA approved' label.
