  1. Ive had all this tic tok,insta,facebook stuff explained to me a hundred times i still dont get it.....not sure i want to either. Generations change i get that but its the sorry side of the internet for me when you have young lads drooling over pictures of sorts instead of getting out there trying to get the real thing its a bit like your average keyboard warrior who wants to fight everyone from his computer knowing full well he'd avoid those situations in real life. It makes you realise how huge the world is to think that an average everyday young girl like that can amass a following
  2. It only seems to be like that in Britain though.....look at boxing in America or Mexico and its still all about fighting your way through the rankings.......maybe they are the times we are in as Brits where true honest competition is almost frowned upon in favour of a good drama.......a fighter like Eubank Jnr piping up with i want to fight Kell Brook because we have " beef "....grow up you daft c**t go and knock his door if you want a tear up..
  3. Couldnt agree more....there was a time when fighters were thick as arseholes and would be seen but not heard but it meant they had to fight their way into contention....now its virtually the opposite if you are a good talker and your face fits you can literally talk yourself into big fights having had very few meaningful victories.
  4. As if the fight wasnt hyped enough before it its even worse after !.....ok i get it this Shalom mush is a new kid on the block and wants eyes on his promotions but come on dont take people for idiots....." iconic "...." classic "...f**k off i had to turn that off after 2 minutes. Yes it was an entertaining fight but quality wise it was awful....i suppose really it was exactly what most of us thought it would be,2 over the hill fighters Brook being the least washed up of the 2....boxing is starting to cross a line for me,when i hear a lad like Eubank Jnr saying he wants to fight Kell Brook

    Its a really nice place mate its like a clean version of London ?....they have a right wing prime minister Viktor Orban which was what drew me here just to suss the place out,and yes its a nice place,very refreshing for a capital city.....bottom pic is Shoes on the Danube which was grim reading but certainly an interesting place full of history and pride.
  6. Im probably reading too much into things but i think once an athlete becomes a celebrity and starts doing all that jungle out of here type thing,going on telly for non sporting reasons......most are at least halfway retired....i just dont think Khan wants it as much as Brook. The competitive mentality and desire to succeed is certainly not the same on the way down as it was on the way up hence for me this is a bit of a meaningless fight.

    Nice good for you....its good to make the effort occasionally getting away from modern life and just embrace the whole husband/wife thing we've just come back from a little Valentines break in Europe travelling in style started in Budapest,then a few nights in Milan then ended up in Paris.....weird really the more time i spend with the woman the more i like her ?
  8. I think Brook probably has slightly more left than Khan.....probably a bit more hunger as well....so Brook....how you see it mate ?
  9. I cant be f****d with all that boycotting sport id watch it if it was free so a couple of quid aint going to put me off.....i like watching boxing whether its a small hall show or Khan/Brook....but agreed Khan/Brook to me is just a battle of who is less finished...i cant really see where the winner go's let alone the loser...and the " rivalry/hatred " zzzzzzzzzzz pull the other one.....as for who wins i couldnt care less just hope its an entertaining fight.
  10. Whyte is made for Fury mate.....thats why he's fighting him.
  11. I was over the moon for John its about time a decision went his way i still say he should of got the nod against Callum Smith.....on the night i thought John had done enough to win but that was probably emotion talking,having watched it back on telly id say Jacobs by a couple.....but again,the lad deserves a break and hopefully he can now make life changing money on the back of it.
  12. So is it normal practise or not ?.......thats all im asking. We can read into it however we see fit but an independant party campaigned for a spoiled ballot and virtually half the rest of the votes were a spoiled ballot......again,im not clued up on the inner workings of politics but the fact that lefties are playing it down tells me it went very well.
  13. Hence folk need to speak honestly and have more and more uncomfortable conversations about delicate subjects .....to be truthful the actual mechanics of politics bores the living daylights out of me as do the people involved in it....but i dont mind a bit of campaigning and getting out there chatting to folk,opening some eyes etc i find it good for the soul and like you say a bit of something is better than a lot of nothing.
  14. Must admit Skys promotion of this fight reeks of desperation and maybe thats the post lockdown times we're in........but " ferocious rivalry " f**k off nobody gives a shit about these two.
  15. We've all lived on estates mate....when i did i wasnt lucky enough to have a garden but then i dont spose theres much dispute to who's balcony is whos ?......hopefully it all gets sorted peacefully anyway.
  16. Obviously nothings going to change overnight but from what im told this isnt something thats happened before....thats a start.
  17. So you're saying that a total amount of spoiled votes being roughly the same as the rest of the parties combined is normal practise ?.........not from what ive been told its not but then its not my game i dont know.
  18. Just out of curiosity have you asked him what it is he's copped the hump about if he was cool with it a year ago ?.....might it be that he's got the rough side of the fence ?.....seen plenty of fall outs about who gets the rough and who gets the smooth maybe a compromise would be to spin them round if it thats the case and it dont bother you.
  19. ?....they put a plan in place and it worked,it really is that simple.....i only recently learned that spoiled votes have to be witnessed and recorded id love to have a look through some of them findings ?
  20. His over confidence going into the Hagler fight was due to the fact he had beaten Antuofermo twice quite comfortably whereas Hagler only drew with him i think it might even been the fight after Hagler drew with him that Minter beat him to get the title......but yes agreed regardless,Hagler every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
  21. As i remember he had said he would never lose his title to a black man.....ooops. It would be fair to say there was a large contingent of NF in the arena that night i always remember Harry Carpenters commentary " people are throwing beer cans into the ring one just landed on me "..........not the cleverest night for British boxing unfortunately.
  22. Fair enough....but if you add the votes of the Independent who put the leaflets out in the first place to the f**k off's its pretty much even........either way its a big statement in a constituency that only 3 years ago had a 65k turnout with 250 spoiled votes.
  23. Apparently there was more spoiled votes than the rest of the votes combined ! Ok after the David Amess thing the Torys were always going to romp home on sympathy votes alone......but the spoiled ballots speak volumes in quite a clever way in fairness.
  24. Well Mr.Bosun sir,thankyou once again you have definitely become my " go to " film critic on here !.....what a film. Im into one of my insomnia stages lately and whacking films on at ridiculous hours....put this Railway Man on the other night but thought it was going to be a love story and lost interest....then someone else told me about it so gave it another go ...fantastic......strangely satisfying ending i must be getting old !....cheers
  25. " David Moyes purple & blue army "............nah im not having that !
