Older Sad Man Syndrome

I´ve just learned that I am suffering from Older Sad Man Syndrome, a term coined by an American “career and personal coach” – whatever that is – called Marty Nemko. I was ready to dismiss him as another example of Californian flakiness until I read one of his articles and it immediately struck a chord.

Read this: “One man, I’ll call him, Bill, is a director at a large Bay Area nonprofit. He sees people whom he views as inferior getting promotions and other favoritism. He goes to the gym and sees the attractive women looking right through him – Mr. Cellophane. He comes home to watch CNN and sees endless encomia to women and people of color and he, a white male, is disproportionately portrayed as evil or idiotic. He doesn’t feel that he’s either and feels sad that his gender so often portrayed that way.” Poor old Mr. Cellophane!!!

Nemko wins me over by outlining how Bill – and the rest of us – are unfairly treated compared with women who receive far more attention in terms of health and other issues. The Fair Sex indeed!

My main complaint is that his suggestions for combatting Older Sad Man Syndrome include having a “few sessions with a good cognitive-behavioral therapist”. As I have no idea what a cognitive-behavioral therapist is I don´t think I will be taking this option up. Never mind Mr Nemko. It´s the thought that counts. Nice to know there is someone out there who understands me.

Here is the link to article for interested ISACers.

BAME, that ludicrous expression which has slipped into modern parlance, although not mainstream parlance, just that of the lefty media and the ‘liberal’ left in general.
This is surely a racist term, as it puts blacks ahead of other ethnic minorities. Just say ‘ethnic minorities’ that’s fair and equal, innit?

The Greatest Dancer. The Greatest Cunt more like. Another mind numbing offering from Al-Beeb to keep the proles at bay. What a lot of cunt.

WEATHER WARNINGS

Let it be known that we are in the grip of an Arctic apocalypse. The nation is about to spontaneously combust due to the gonad freezing minus figures that we are currently experiencing. Who knew that the UK could get cold in winter? Why did nobody tell us this before? How has this shocker befallen us? We are, in all seriousness, doomed.

ARE WE FUCK.

If I see or hear one more fucking ‘YELLOW WARNING’ from the Met Office about snow and ice (yellow snow…..does this mean we need to fear piss covered snow?) I will be the one spontaneously combusting. Anyone would think that the concept of a cold, icy and snowy winter was a new one to us. It appears that after centuries of experiencing such climates, we have still not mastered the art of DEALING WITH IT and managing to still keep the country going without the whole transportation system going to fuck and every fucking school closing, as cold is simply not acceptable for the modern world’s little darlings to cope with.

It is sheer lunacy that every poxy year we are subjected to these doom merchants and their ‘second coming of the Ice Age’ warnings and predictions. The media is full of it today. Who needs a frivolous, trivial news story when we can read about Doris in Peckham getting her shopping basket stick in an inch of snow. Fucking madness.

It is a bit of snow and ice, for the sake of fuck.

CUNTS!!

An emergency nomination for Tulip Siddiq, just seen on Sky news whingeing about how ‘humiliated’ she felt when she came to parliament in a wheelchair, and how ‘family unfriendly’ parliament is, because of the long anti-social hours and the recesses don’t always coincide with school holidays.
So, remind us again, who chose to be an MP and to drop a sprog?
Also a nomination for the interviewer who didn’t challenger her bullshit.
Eff off.
