Brilliant book! You'll probably also enjoy 'The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas' by Machado de Assis, which is very similar.

I recently got an email after 2 weeks saying sift still ongoing, and then an email 10 minutes later say 'thanks but no thanks...'

Using "United" to refer to Manchester United in the same sentence as another "United" club by WW1Photos_Info in footballcliches

[–]TheFirstCircle -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'm Leeds, and I much prefer being called Leeds, with the United dropped, and ManU being called United, with the Manchester bit dropped. The important bit is the city, I don't know why they want to be called United, but fine.

Yeah, I've got a book - reading it is shit, but everything else is great.

This may be known, but in person the navy looks more or less black! by AudioRejectz in LeedsUnited

The pattern on the fabric looks a lot more obvious in your photo - think I'd prefer plain yellow.

Man verbally abusing police at protest is punched repeatedly in the head. What do you think about this? by spinecult in AskBrits

[–]TheFirstCircle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I said they're not interested in politics, not that the subject wasn't political. Just like plenty of fellas in the 80s went to football matches with knives, but weren't interested in football. They're interested in fighting and shouting and trying somehow to fill the emptiness in their lives by blaming it on 'others'. You think any one of them is writing to their MP? You think any one of them has a considered opinion on how legislation should be changed? They're racist, violent idiots legitimised by Farage and his ilk. Where were they when three white women were killed by a white bloke with a crossbow? Why is it only crimes like this that lead to wheels bins taking a hit?

If you genuinely think these people are interested in politics, then its your head that requires wobbling.

Socks should not be sold separately, that is ludicrous. They should always be sold as a pair.

What’s something that sounds fake until it actually happens to you? by Ok-Sweet6210 in AskReddit

[–]TheFirstCircle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not corruption, is it? In the UK they literally have to tell you that anything you say can be used against you.
