TheLastLazyGun Posted March 25, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Britain was the country which kept calm and carried on during the Blitz, and thought it a mere trifle when Doodlebugs and V2 ballistic missiles flew overhead before turning populated housing estates into huge craters. Now, a mere 70 years later, we've become terrified of triangular-shaped flapjacks. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-21923218 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashotep Posted March 25, 2013 #3 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Can't have those things slapping you in the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libstaK Posted March 25, 2013 #4 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Flapjacks don't hurt people, people hurt people. Britain, you've gone mad, first you chase after some poor mother for 4 weeks for joking about egging a polie to a friend on facebook, now this. What is going on? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keel M. Posted March 25, 2013 #5 Share Posted March 25, 2013 "The real issue isn't what shape the flapjacks are, but the fact that pupils are throwing them at each other - and that's a matter of discipline, and has got nothing to do with health and safety as we know it." Exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiffSplitkins Posted March 25, 2013 #6 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I hope they don't serve those in prisons over there. The prisoners are likely to start shanking each other with them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OverSword Posted March 25, 2013 #7 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Perhaps if the cooks didn't overcook them they wouldn't be hard enough to hurt someone with. This story is just...just..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabby Kitten Posted March 25, 2013 #8 Share Posted March 25, 2013 The school might ban triangle shaped chocolate Toblerones next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiffSplitkins Posted March 25, 2013 #9 Share Posted March 25, 2013 The school might ban triangle shaped chocolate Toblerones next. Besides being unhealthy, Doritos (having a triangle shape) will also be doomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. K. Posted March 25, 2013 #10 Share Posted March 25, 2013 They missed a good headline: "What's All the Flap About?" (or perhaps that saying is just an Americanism?) However, it is true that when students throw things, they do tend to aim at the face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pallidin Posted March 25, 2013 #11 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Aren't pencils and pens far more dangerous? Ban them !!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen in the North Posted March 25, 2013 #12 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I'd love to visit there someday, but my God, how people put up with this crap is beyond me. Goodness you're right! We'd better all take up arms, and get back our right to triangular flapjack American style... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly Posted March 25, 2013 #13 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Oh the horror! Attack of the killer flapjacks...would make a great title for a grade B horror movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.United_Nations Posted March 25, 2013 #14 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Might as well ban triangle shapes used in maths. Or just ban every shaped object Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pallidin Posted March 25, 2013 #15 Share Posted March 25, 2013 That's it. As the faux head of the Department of Education I hereby ban all schools. They are just much too dangerous of an environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopmo Posted April 4, 2013 #18 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I could just imagine the idiotic conversation from the PTA meeting demanding an answer from the education board to how they were going to ensure this never happened again, I assume the kid got pointed in the eye by the pancake. I don't blame the education heads that put this through, with all the stupid s*** people get sued for these days.

Aus Der Box Skeptisch Posted April 5, 2013 #20 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I'd cut every circular pancake into a triangle before I ate it anyways just for fun. And say thanks for the extra food (cut off pieces ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
