China limits screentime because it has a nation of video game addicts. Moreover, your average Chinese young person has had a lifetime of coddling through being an only child, so much so that it has given rise to the label of 'little princes and princesses'. When I was out there I taught English to a few of them and while it's very anecdotal, they did not strike me as a particularly driven bunch. And while you may call the people we raise on the west 'pussies' I would prefer to see them as 'emotionally developed people who are able to look compassionately at the lives of others, and also attempt to deal with their own personal damage in order to make their lives better in the long run'. Yes there'll be some who go too far, but you don't actually meet very many of those, day to day, in my experience. It's more something that youtube channels get worked up about, rather than being real.4 points

So, this article by the BBC reckons Man. Utd. are looking for “an interim manager to the end of the season… …Only realists, or older managers possibly not seeking a permanent job, are likely to find that scenario attractive.”2 points

Another thing which could only exist in America. This video and the lyrics to the pathetic song are like parodies layered on top of parodies. It's dizzyingly shit. @TheGingerQuiffplease tell me you don't actually like this horseshit.2 points

My biggest regret that still regularly haunts me was my reaction to an ordeal involving a family of known violent psychopaths a good 20 years ago when going back home to visit my mum. As much as I feel I was a total coward, I still cant see how I could've resolved the situation without volunteering to be a second victim. I totally get your reluctance to intervene.2 points

Austria is even worse and making vaccinations mandatory albeit starting in February for some strange reasons. They are having a full lockdown now as well. The problem in Germany are especially those fascist idiots living in eastern Germany who should fuck off to Russia tbh. Or to Gotham. As for homeopathy, those people believing in this sort off humbug but not in vaccinations should fuck off to some remote island as well. Preferably one with large carnivores. But it would be a start if health insurers would stop paying for placebo treatments.2 points

[b]'Filled with murders, kidnappings, Bosnian warlords...' - Steve Bruce's bewildering murder-mystery novels[/b] Irish writer Seamas O’Reilly guided us through Steve Bruce’s bizarre literary career on the latest edition of Behind the Lines. Before he chronicled his own life, however, Séamas did a service to the literary canon by excavating the work of one Stephen R. Bruce, better known as the current and wildly unpopular manager of Newcastle United, Steve Bruce. At the turn of the century, just as Bruce was wading into football management, he also wrote a bewildering trilogy of murder-mystery novels, titled Striker!, Sweeper! and Defender! in which a protagonist named Steve Barnes is dragged away from his day job in football manager to solve a murder case. Séamas’ reviews of the books went viral, and their rarity has since rocketed their value, to the point where they are now (almost) as sought-after as first-edition copies of Ulysses. (Seamas found the first book for £14, and copies are now selling for around £1500.) “These books were written by Steve Bruce while he was manager of Huddersfield, though ‘written’ is going to need a few inverted commas”, says Séamas on Behind the Lines. “They weren’t so much ghostwritten as written by seance. But the basic thrust is Steve Bruce wrote these murder-mysteries set in a fictional version of Huddersfield called Leddersford. “They contain almost no football and what football is there is execrable. They are filled with murders, kidnappings, Bosnian warlords, concentration camp guards, the SAS, Mossad, at least one case of identity theft, and at least a murder or two in each book. “They are complete doggerel, the text in every book is about the size of the Hollywood sign, they are pamphlet-size and every one of them ends with a football match that is over in four pages and always finishes 4-2. That must be the most exciting score.” The books include mildly adroit wordplay – “Shannon’s office was small. On his desk was a PC. A personal computer, not a police constable.” – lofty literary allusions – “‘A pair of star-crossed lovers’, I said to Julie. She looked surprised.’That sounds clever, Steve. You have a way with words.’ ‘Not me. Old Bill Shakespeare.’” – and lengthy and bewildering digressions to the point of product placement. Take this description of a car chase in the first book in the series. My car was in the place specially reserved for me as first team coach. I drive a Jaguar XJ8, 3.2, the sports version. It’s a very nice motor; 3.2 litre AJ-V8 all alloy engine. Classic colour interior theme, fluted leather seats, contrast colour keyed facia, figured walnut veneer. As good a motor as you can hope to drive. But not a car you’d choose when trying to follow a Ford saloon in a discreet manner… “There’s another bit in the first book when he is being led up to the hills”, says Séamas. “One of his star players has been murdered and briefly the IRA are implicated in the murder. “Two Irish characters march him up to the wetlands of a nearby, secluded part of countryside, and in the middle of that he gives this long, page-and-a-half thing about scrubs and drylands and the ancient topography of the place, and you’re reading it thinking, ‘This guy has a gun at his back!' “It just screams word count.” https://www.the42.ie/steve-bruce-novel-5510816-Aug2021/ 🤣1 point

My 80 something uncle Bob, a born and bred red manc who first went to OT in the early 50s, told me Ole wouldn't last till Christmas....however he told me that in November 2019, a point which I've just reminded him of...... he duly reminded me that the elderly have an extensive Anglo saxon vocabulary1 point

I heard the Manchester United fans were chanting Ole out, disgraceful tbh. He’s a man from a good family, he shouldn’t have to put up with the abuse he suffered from that toxic fan base. I expect we will be hearing all about how awful it is from the media, and not them licking their lips at yoooonoited getting a top manager in?1 point
