Teacher sues school over 'farting' chair

LONDON: The deputy head of a large British school was forced to sit in a chair that made flatulent noises every time she moved, an employment tribunal has heard.

Sue Storer, 48, claims her requests for a new chair were repeatedly ignored and she was "victimised, harassed and bullied" because she was a woman.

She has resigned from her Ģ48,000-a-year ($116,700) post at Bedminster Down Secondary School in Bristol and is claiming more than pound stg. 1 million, based on lost earnings and loss of pension, against Bristol City Council for constructive dismissal and sex discrimination.

She said her "farting chair" was a regular joke. "It was very embarrassing to sit on," she said.

I donīt get it... Guess there was just one particular chair in that school. She got it and now she claims she didnīt like it... Poor students who had to sit on the floor ;-)

I wonder if newspapers just make these stories up - going like "Hmm. We need a small article. Why not invent one?".

Oooohhh ... I want an animation of the vomiting brain.

Come to think of it, I want a video of the farting chair!
