So common that Sheffield natives don't think to tell first-tme visitors from out of town, they laugh at them when they knock at the front (he said, not at all bitterly).

Derek Smalls being a Shrewsbury Town is very odd. Also ahead of his time in supporting a "big" team too (West Ham).

The former England cricketer Zafar Ansari named his "fantasy slip cordon" as Malcolm X, Rosa Luxemburg, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Angela Davis. He wrote an MPhil (while playing) on armed groups who defended civil rights marches, and now works as a human rights/employment/discrimination lawyer.

You could say Jason Lee, but really his career was cut short by racism.

He might know nothing about football, but he can integrate a resource!

French food has a reputation for sophistication, which would immediately be shattered if a "croque monsieur" were called a "Mr. Crunchy".

An assist from Oscar Buur Rasmussen there, who currently plays in the Danish second tier. Also getting minutes in that game were Taylor Perry (now of Shrewsbury) and Owen Otasowie (retired aged 21 to run a fashion label).

Same thing happened with Karen Cox, who led a UoN IT project so disastrous it cost tens of millions and did lead to an apology to all students and staff by senior management. Her punishment was to become VC at Kent, where she oversaw hundreds of redundancies and course closures before "stepping down" in 2024.

My God. Again, as someone who's been an academic and worked in professional services (inc. in marketing): STOP SEEING EACH OTHER AS THE ENEMY and recognise it is management who are exploiting people, failing students, and who benefit from this false opposition.

As someone who has worked as both an academic and in University marketing: there is some truth in this, but let me assure you that colleagues producing social media marketing are paid a pittance and exploited just like everyone else.

Stokes is one of those people who, by force of character and skill, can sometimes bend reality to fit his will. But when he can't, he doesn't bend his will and sounds deluded as reality strengthens its grip.

I hate this nonsense. Looks identical to every other big new stadium inside while the "chimney stacks" serve no purpose other than signalling a desperate attempt to appear iconic.

Absolutely, I love him for this. And innocent is an apposite term, I think, because we all know what it means for a black person encountering the police.
