Abel's spanking blog & stories
Abel came home for a little while, and brought me a magazine of spanking coolness, also known as last Sunday’s “Observer Music Monthly”.
Have a look at the cover:

So, the school is progressive enough to have done away with uniforms, but traditional enough to still have canes. Cool.
I wonder if the dude with the cane is a prefect about to start dispensing punishments, or whether he’s stolen the cane from a teacher, and is about to get a caning himself when he gets caught. Both options work for me.
Further into the magazine, you find the following headline:

Oh, no, of course it hasn’t. And making this point is crucial when you’re writing a music review.
Dear Observer, just give up one of your free monthly magazines in favour of a spanking almanac, you know you want to.

And now you know why I read what I read newspaper-wise! The Grauniad, the Observer – the kinkster’s Berliner of choice.
Actually, I missed last week’s. Shame, by the looks of it…

I suspect the teacher is either hiding somewhere, or was locked in the supply cupboard by the little dears.

can someone *please* explain to me why people call it ‘The Grauniad’? is it some random london thing or am i just being hugely thick?

Blue Fairy it’s a “Private Eye” thing. Back before word processing, the Guardian was absolutely littered with typos, slight exaggeration, and so gained the nickname “Grauniad”, misspelt version of Guardian I believe.

Good point, Evie. Abel will probably know. He was definately around way before word processing. He was around before the *wheel*. He knows *everything* about the olden days

Martha, have the young whipper-snappers convinced you to domme yet? I’m ready to lend my equally unlikely assistance.
I’m sure Abel would be glad to advise us…

Well, you see, the ancient people had tied a naughty girl to a large circular stone to whip her, but every time a blow fell, the stone rotated round. By the time the flogging finished, the girl was upside down.
She was untied – carefully – and led away to be comforted. And the elders realised that, with a little modification, they could roll the stone around the village during future punishments so everyone could see what was happening. And from that, it required but a short leap of imagination to invent the wheel.

Abel – I am *HUGELY* impressed at how you made the invention of the wheel so deliciously kinky – fantastic!

I think Smudge and I have been totaly misrepresented, we’re clearly just keen historians, hoping to learn from somone who was around in the olden days!

Thank you, Evie. My thoughts exactly. You know, I think there’s a conspiracy among the elderly to make the young people look bad. It’s awful.

Where did I see a picture of this wheel in the past few days? It was a big wheel with girls tied to it and a man with a cane whipping their bottoms as the big wheel turned around? It is somewhere in spankville very recently. It was like a ride at a fair, with the girls tied on with their bottoms bared. (Not that I spend time looking at pictures in spankville. Not me.)
