Childhood memories

I had a very brief opportunity yesterday to look at a book with people sharing memories of their childhood - managed to get a quick copy of this page with my iPhone.

Memories

Just came across this cutting from 1974 and I'm sorry to say that I can remember getting very excited following the story in the newspapers at the time.

The case came to court because the Sunday People published a story about how lieutenant-colonel John Brooks had lured the 19-year-old Manchester University student on to his boat for a trip up the river and then forced her to strip before he spanked her about thirty times before telling her to rub some whisky on her bottom to take away the sting (never tried that, but it seems likely to me that he just wanted to rub her bottom for a bit longer).

The story was substantially correct, except it turned out that he often hired young ladies for this particular pastime and it had been made very clear to her beforehand what she was getting paid to do. The newspaper lost the defamation case, and the colonel was awarded a rather derisory  ½ penny in damages (although the newspaper had to bear the court costs).

What subsequently happened to Miss Carr never seemed to be reported - presumably she had the embarrassment of her friends and family reading that she'd allowed a stranger to strip her naked and spank her bottom, but then she would have expected that when she took her story to the newspaper.  I tend to the view that the editor of the newspaper should, perhaps, have also given her a thorough spanking for misleading him about the original circumstances.

Think I'm moving...

I think I might move to Malaysia - the corner shops have much more interesting products for sale...

And with prices equivalent to around £5.50 or less, they look like bargains as well.  They seem to need to stock a lot of them.

Age Verification

In the UK the government has passed legislation requiring those who wish to access legal pornography online to have to go through an age verification process.  Originally planned to come into operation this April it has now been postponed until the end of the year.  The UK is the only democratic country to attempt to enforce such a regulation and so far it seems to offer huge financial rewards for one of the biggest pornography empires in the world and run the risk of extremely sensitive private information falling into the wrong hands.  It doesn't appear to recognise that, by using VPNs (Virtual Private Networks), people in the UK can log into porn sites from elsewhere in the world and the whole thing seems to have been dreamt up by people with very little understanding of technology or pornography.  The video below is taken from the blog of Pandora Blake who campaigns on these issues and is published here under the "Fair Use" doctrine.

UPDATE 17th MARCH  - Check out this academic article on the same subject area which explains the issues much better than I could.

Favourite for March

I don't think the Punished Brats site always gets the recognition it deserves and I love this classic photoshoot.  My usual comments about preferring to see clothed punishments in a school setting certainly don't apply to a domestic scene and this one is an absolute gem.  The girl is clearly getting a very good seeing to, and her bottom and thighs are going to be bright red and really stinging when he's finished with her.  She's sure learning a valuable lesson here - from checking out their website it appears that she and her sister were throwing eggs at cars and they'll both be feeling the back of a hairbrush as well before the lesson is over.

This should be something they'll both remember for a very long time.

This is a two part story from Punished Brats - in the first part both get hand spankings and then in the second half it progresses to the hairbrush.  There are 40 seconds long excerpts from each video free to download and they really look excellent.  The one thing I wish was different would be to not have the tattoos on the legs of the one girl.  I really wish the particular craze for young girls getting tattooed had never started.  Nevertheless, this storyline alone might be reason enough for some people to consider a subscription.
