I think the difference is that this sort of patriotism is rare in the UK, at least it's never expressed. If you go around waving a flag people will think you're bonkers or a raging racist. Also, Mo Farah has been track star in the UK for 10 years and he's their golden boy of multiculturalism. If anything the BBC…

meh. As far as animal videos go this one is lacklustre.

good news?

side effects? Probably causes cancer or for you to grow a tail or something like that.

who knew 50 cent was so clever and witty? I am very impressed.

It used to be that if you wanted to be a perv you had to have some skills and put in some effort. 16mm spy cameras are not easy to use. That discouraged all but the most pervy. Now, any mildly pervy lazy bastard can do upskirts. It must be very tempting for these lowlifes now that it is so easy.

You already sound like a trivial,…

there's nothing like this on the BBC.

'interesting' = uh-huh

" deeply problematic" is double speak for " me no likey, but me no vocabulary or insight to say why."

A lot of people don't understand / cannot imagine / have no interest in intellectual work or a life centered around intellectual inquiry. You hear this everyday from the " the smartest people I know didn't go to college" crowd.

what a sad little life, devoid of real achievement.

He fucking ENDED HER CAREER. I would sue him, the department and the University.

something tells me this douche is sneered at by everyone ( male, female, dogs, cats ...) except the desperately co-dependent.

well, what a lot guys want from a relationship is a free maid, nanny and sex worker. Those keep looking till they find someone who will be that for them. They don't settle. But judging from the whining it's getting harder to find such a lady.

This thread makes me glad I got off the tenure track and found something else to do.

THIS. Their precious intellectual work must always come above and beyond your precious intellectual work.
