Inverness High School.......

all the trips we get are shi*te anyway, even when there was nothing to pay for damage

i have no idea the last time our school had a trip abroad

Maybe , just maybe if erseholes stopped vandalising the school there might be enough money to provide trips abroad .

Our year got to go to Uganda in 2005 that was probably the last proper trip abroad. I thought they went to France every year on a ski-trip? Last time I checked France was abroad haha.

funnily enough we were looking at pictures in r.e today of that uganda trip, send a cow or something

I remember Mr. Gordon, I believe he taught woodworking. I was never in one of his classes but he had the reputation of being a man to be feared, had a very ''short fuse!''

Bit of a debate goinging on on the inverness Courier website regarding the guy who set fire to the school (see comments at the bottom of the story)

http://www.highland-news.co.uk/news/fullst...to_public_.html

Bottom line....it was a deliberate act of arson! Stress is no defence for breaking the law IMHO!

[+CaleyD]

The words of someone who's obviously never been under any real stress!!!

Not defending the guy, but it's amazing just what stress can drive a person to do through shear desperation. Doesn't change the fact he's guilty...and the real question is whether or not people suffering from stress who break the law need help or locking up (maybe a bit of both).

I take it that the High school was the Inverness Technical School in my day Scotty ?

I am sure you will remember :angry:

[kiltarlity]

"Stress", "Depression" words that get banded about loosely in society.

Many who have never suffered mental illness, can have no grasp on just how badly these conditions at their most sever can effect a persons ability to function rationally.

It may not be a defence, but it sure is a mitigating factor.
