Sorry. Just a very sore subject which isn't the meaning of life.

Nope, not belittling it at all. There are serious issues, and not just with Catholic schools. But if you can't make fun of them what do you do? Turn into Victor Meldrew?

I had a form master for 3 years when I started at my secondary school. He was also my swimming trainer (at school. But I had a proper swimming trainer in my swimming club)

Look how he turned out:

Freaks me out to think he took me down to Dublin for a swimming gala, and made me come to his hotel bedroom in my pyjamas to read bible stories to me.

Nothing ever happened to me though, but I do believe what they say about him. And so does a court of law.

Not a problem. I try to lighten even the most serious subjects up.

The meaning of life is to have fun.. in whatever form that takes for you, without hurting or disturbing other people.

There! End of thread.

With those odds, I really do think WE ARE NOT ALONE !!!

Yes you were informed of your non negotiable right to provide financial assistance/funding.

We chose Church of England over Catholic as as a rule their peodophile to kids weighting tends to be lower than with Catholic organisations, although the odd one still seems to slip through/or in...
