Opening a bag of rice without splitting it and chucking rice all over the place. 

Being accurate doesn’t necessarily make them useful. Plus, as you say, they do tend to bleed into lazy stereotyping and the degree of generalising makes them potentially useless rather than useful. I would hope that no sane person (that criteria doesn’t necessarily eliminate a great deal of people 😀) is going to prejudge an individual or treat them a certain way purely based on the generation they were born in.

Agreed. I think Boomers in particular struggle to get their heads around why Gen Z kids might have a different attitude to life and work than they did at that age.
The social contract for them was very much in tact. Study for free, get a job, work hard, be able to afford a nice house and a car, progress through the ranks, pay off mortgage and retire, with a society that will look after you along the way
As opposed to Gen Z who have to pay to study, leave Uni with a huge debt, get a job, work hard, but then have to take out more huge loans to be able to buy a tiny house and a crappy car - realise that if your job is in anything other than a small business, you are simply enslaved to a corporate machine who will bleed you dry for as little as they can get away with paying you. Society crumbling around you. If I were them, I'd probably want to lose myself in my smartphone too

Even worse, Canadians use the same spellings as Brits. It's the Yanks I've been infected by.

Ooh!  Look at you, getting a grip of the local lingo!  🤓

I try not to let what's happened since he left Derby have an impact on my memories of Rooney's time at Derby.
I remember feeling very proud of being a Derby fan during that season that we were relegated and was there at Moore Farm when Rooney led the players to address us fans. 
I've got nothing but happy memories of Wayne Rooney as Derby manager which is odd given we were relegated!

Steve McLaren deserves more respect for how good of a job he did in 2013/14. He quickly turned a promising but inconsistent team into an absolute force. Denied promotion by a freak of a game.

We should be grateful for Oldben's input. His well thoughtout and original  precis on veried subjects are invaluable in stimulating discussion.

I worked in that mill for several years. Was a great stroll out at lunchtimes (but lots of stairs!) You can see my office window on your photo.

I enjoyed it
