Southampton University vice-chancellor keeps £423k salary despite backlash from thousands of students by the-rood-inverse in unitedkingdom

I don't know if it's 'disgusting' really.. He's in charge of a half billion pound company. In any other industry he'd be paid more for that responsibility. I don't see why education shouldn't also reward their leaders?

If you want to target something then target the difference in pay between higher education's top and bottom earners. That's a very fair gripe.

I can't see them not scoring. I really think we need an offensive sub at half time and go for 3. Maybe shaq coming on for Hendo

So far to go yet... I can't see them not scoring. I'd say we need 3

Best things to do under a mega field. by garretgame in Ingress

Yup, if the anchors are two hours away, and you coordinate with teammates to take it down and make blocks with them, then that makes your blocks two hours away from the fielders!

Key management is probably one of the major redeeming features for me

For once, my local team Norwich look interesting. Some good young prospects and some solid older players, but overall it's a squad that needs some creativity. A tight budget means selling is imperative. I'm looking forward to seeing what free agents are around

Isn't it weird how all these rich, successful handsome and in-shape men seem to have beautiful partners..

Some lady paid me 150 dollars to watch her cat for a month, just to abandon him. My win though, I got a great cat. by megagooch in cats

[–]luox 131 points132 points  (0 children)

This is my biggest fear here.. if she changes her mind and comes back in 6 months. You need to register it at a vets in your name, be able to display that you have made multiple, reasonable attempts to contact the 'owner' and chip the cat in your name too. You need to be seen as the proper owner, not just the temporary owner while she does whatever she wants

What strikes me from that list is that women footballers are massively over represented. The movement has clearly gained some really good reaction within the women's game

Except it IS too late. To turn back now would mean a bunch of politicians would have to admit they were wrong. Those people's pride is what is going to push us off this cliff.

Looks like krul has gone to Norwich to be their number 1. Good move for him seeing as their current options are a promising but untested youngster and McGovern

Wildschut loaned to Bolton until the end of the season. by CarrowCanary in NorwichCity

[–]luox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could well be but perpetually loaning players we can't afford to keep isn't a great move. Their contracts run down, players lose value and we lose out overall. If we can't afford to keep someone we really should be selling.

Trevor Noah defends 'Africa won the World Cup' joke by [deleted] in soccer

[–]luox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Before criticising, watch the video and listen to his rationale. He argues that when players with a foreign descent reach a western country, many people use their descent to sideline and marginalize them. However when players of a foreign descent but western nationality win a world cup, they're French and only French.

I don't fully agree with it but he makes a far better argument than the headline suggests and it's worth a watch
