Alert Mongoose Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 (edited) 6 hours ago, Jan Vojáček said: I work for a paper that does P1 and P7 class photos. We genuinely get a few parents every year asking if they can buy a picture without the ASN pupils. And one a few years years ago kicked off when they were told where to go, and demanded we retook the picture. Each and every one of those parents should have been referred to social work. Scum should be banned from rearing more scum. Edited March 30 by Alert Mongoose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 1 hour ago, HibeeJibee said: Tempest are possibly the biggest firm for school/prom/graduation/etc. photos. Interestingly the initial coverage suggested the photos were edited, or 3 pupils were removed before more shots were taken, but reports have since been amended e.g. BBC article now says: It is understood some class photographs were taken before the pupils with additional support needs were brought in. Despite pictures then being taken which included all the pupils, parents were still given the option of both. Tempest, one of the UK's largest school photography firms, said it had spoken to the photographer involved. which suggests it might have been unintentional foolishness in uploading them alongside usual mixture of full class, individual and group photos rather than premeditated exclusion. School maintains they were oblivious. Certainly beggar belief if the snapper actually requested some kids be kept away and the school staff went along with it. Pretty sure the school would have had some kind of presence when the photos were being taken. Unless they just shove a load of kids into a room with a photographer and leave them for 3 hours to get on with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, that's something I hadn't thought of. It would still be pretty stupid, even if accidental, but still infinitely better than explicitly asking "Would you like yours with or without?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Team GB" is a ridiculous term for the "country" it's meant to represent. The code changed from GRB to GBI for the Tokyo Olympics in '64 but we moved on to GBR for Mexico City '68 GBN is available as an IOC code. Gabon use GAB but might still have an issue. Things are complicated by the fact that Irish Olympic Committee have been recognised as an all Ireland body by the IOC since granting them their initial charter in 1922. Arguably this arrangement probably should have been refined for the 1924 games in Paris to reflect the final score in the Irish civil war but seemingly nobody was up for that argument back then and it's technically still Northern Irish athletes on team GB that are the "splitters" But that's politely ignored to save trouble which means that if you're from Northern Ireland you can choose. If you're good at rowing you can join the world class "British" programme in your sport but if your a boxer you're probably better off being "Irish" The exceptions are sports where there is an existing all Ireland team like Rugby 7s and Hockey where Team GB actually is what it says on the tin (although I suppose Channel Islanders are a further complication). As for the team GB flag. It's just an attempt to make a copyrightable image that can be used on branded goods. The BOC don't make a penny on sales of normal union flags and those boats, javelins and goggles don't pay for themselves 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's uncertain whether they technically ever really were but the mayor of Berwick met a Pravda journalist and declared an end to hostilities assuring that the people of Russia could finally sleep safely in their bed In sports terms it is in a limbo state with Football clubs in both pyramids and a rugby club which is simultaneously a member of both the RFU and SRU 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtgilphead Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Is the Sun aware of the 1904 games in St Louis, where the "British" team competed in green shirts with a shamrock on the front? Our "British" gold medal winner Tom Kiely, refused all funding from the British Olympic Association, paid his own way, and insisted he was representing Ireland. However, as Team GB likes to boast that they are the only nation to have won at least one gold at every summer games, they insist on classifying him as "British" Sad f*cks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked into the St Louis games and apparently 1904 was the last year you could enter a mixed team for team events. The Mens Gymnastics was won by five Americans and an Austrian The Tug of War went to four Americans and a German In Paris 1900 the cricket final was won by Devon and Somerset Wanderers against the French Athletic Club Union who fielded 9 British players and three frenchmen that was the only cricket match in olympic history The idea of there even being a "Team GB" (as we'd think of it now) in 1904 is a bit of an anachronism never mind whether Tom Kiely was part of one 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
