Ninety percent of Olympic sports, you or I could feasibly do first try most of us can run, or do a dive, or kick a ball, or cycle but no fucker I know can turn upside down and just hover in the air like Simone Biles does, or any of that wacky pommel horse shit, or holding onto two big suspended rings and just flipping about a bit.
90% of Olympic sports, you or I could feasibly do first try – most of us can run, or do a dive, or kick a football, or cycle – but no fucker I know can turn upside down and just hover in the air like Simone Biles does, or any of that wacky pommel horse shit, or holding onto two big suspended rings and just flipping about a bit.
I didn't have time for cocky kids coming in trying to cut corners on things, so every now and then I'd fly off the handle and frighten the shit out of one or two of them.
"For Chris, it is shit or bust," said one close family friend.

I also told him about my dog, Laika, and said that in my opinion Chilean literature, with one or two exceptions, was shit.
A dodgy start, a couple of high-profile defeats on TV that reach new lows of cowardice and incompetence, falling behind Tottenham, then comfortably dispatching six or seven shit teams in a row without a hiccup.
We'd sit down and shoot the shit; just two new faces to tell stories to".
This shit is two hours long.
Not just one episode either - oh no, I stuck with that shit for two seasons.
