Indeed. Whenever I think of stressful careers, being a professional snooker player always tops the list.

Indeed. A bit like playing Widow Tw***y in Panto. I think Thorburn was more worried about getting his head stoved in with a baseball bat.

Bill Werbeniuk needed about 20 pints before he could sink a red - such was the stress he was under.

"Teachers' union lies about numbers who quit"

Judging by the arithmetic skills of the students they turn out, they probably can't add up.

Teaching isn't stressful in the way people think of stress, its stressful due to the long hours you spend working (ie 10-12 hour days), which means there is little to no time to unwind, relax and take time out. Couple this with other responsibilities such as meals, children and family, you have people probably engaged in continual activity: and that is stressful.

When you look at stress effects in the military, you tend to see higher levels of stress disorder occurring in troops engaged in asymentrical or guerilla conflicts, than in conventional warfare. The reason, isn't the explosions and the gunfire, though obviously they don't help, but the need to be continually ready at any moment. Its that 'not being able to ever let your guard down'.

Its not the same, but it is the continuity of continual deadlines, time restraints, work and work engagement that are the cause of the problem. Not the teaching (though that's stressful).

You mean apart from the six weeks off in summer and half term and easter holidays?

And every Bank Holiday, and most if not all Weekends.

No let me explain Christopher Biggins. On asked how he (Cliff Thorburn) coped with stress he told the story of his old pool hustling days where more often than not there was colossal amounts of money at stake.
He countered that although there was stress when playing snooker, it was nothing compared to playing Pool with some of the biggest gangster in Montreal.
Often he would play with no more than a few hundred bucks in his pocket, for thousands of dollars staked
