    Even at 15/16 I was scared of my teachers and even more scared of what my parents would do if the teacher called home. We were brought up to stand up for ourselves, but to respect adults/people in authority.
    It's heart-breaking to here some of the stories on here - I know it's a minority, but that minority seems to be growing with each passing year

    Eden Hazard retired. A hell of a good footballer. Got kicked to bits at times and I suspect he carries his share of pain around now. Shame he never got to play for Real much, but injuries caught up with him.

    He was unbelievable. A special talent and a joy to watch at times. It’s a shame he’s retired at the age of 32

    Too happy in the spotlight is usually a give away imo.

    This is epic. If you are at a loose end tune in. An unreal national sporting event. I am no rugby guru, but this is elite sport

    I know this international break is good for us in terms of injuries but by christ it's boring........

    Found myself watching Norn Iron v San Marino yesterday just for something to do. Am actually looking forward to getting back to work tomorrow

    Every time I see him play I become more and more impressed. Even from those clips you can see he is a level above what was on the pitch there. Am really excited to see where we are in 2 to 3 years and how far this exciting crop of young players take us

    I was getting a bit shopping in early today in a well known supermarket. It dawned on me that people are becoming more and more ignorant. Basic manners have seemingly disappeared, everyone in a rush. Acknowledgment of when you've let someone pass is zero. Some bellend pulled into a carpark by coming in the wrong way forcing me to stop then looking at me like I'm the dickhead. Everyone just seems so entitled these days. Correct me if I'm wrong, cynical without reason or just moaning but dear me, people have become arseholes.
