Had to make the decision to let go of my little lad recently,shame as i really liked the dog but he just hated my mrs coming anywhere near me i think he thought i needed protecting from her ?.....he showed teeth and had half hearted snaps at her quite a few times but properly kicked off at her a few months back so with a grandson i was hoping to introduce to the countryside alongside him it was a no brainer... he was an ok mooching type companion but too highly strung for normal everyday life he,s now living up near Cambridge with a caravan dweller lad i know....seems to be doing ok so alls we

Cant speak for anyone else who cant be f****d with this gaff anymore but personally i just got a bit bored of the totally over the top attempts of the couple of little stuntmen to get onto the front foot doing the whole assertive,confrontational act from behind their protective shield....the whole hyper emotional slightly unhinged back down from nobody act just gets a little bit monotonous and tedious when its the main posters doing it.....I always liked this little gaff but its like any pub you become a regular in,once the character and personality of the most regular punters becomes nothing

Had a really interesting conversation with a well known old trainer a few days ago he made some interesting points that the entire purpose of " fistic instruction " as he put it...is slowly being eroded and replaced by " punchless performers " who can win a contest without having a fight....he was talking about how a young boy used to be taught how to defend himself with his fists and how the step from amateur to pro boxing is now so easy due to the emphasis placed on fitness rather than toughness,evasion rather than durability...and point scoring rather than causing injury........almost as th

Shame that seemed like a nice enough chap and very knowledgeable about the game....seems very highly regarded by players he managed which says a lot.

Netflix.....that Bill Pullman geezers in it i like him.....the first episode certainly got my attention but who knows.
-
Hooray a sensible post thats not clouded by boyish superstar crushes....i thought Joshua boxed well in patches,he has clearly learned from past fights that he doesnt have the engine to fully commit to the attacks that dont cause immediate problems for an opponent....i like that it shows a level of understanding i didnt think he had...im not sure any other heavyweight in the division could have got Pulev out of there he was a tough guy.....when you look at resumes Fury's doesnt even look worthy of fighting Joshua,but its the only meaningful fight left out there until if/when Usyk grows into the

Just stuck that Mindhunter out for 7 episodes but was losing the will to live....the lad playing the main part was just such a wet wipe the story was just dragging along....too slow that one.....onto something called The Sinner now.....Kenny boy ?
-
I was like that mate but realised once you know how to turn it on and off and watch it back the rest is just down to playing with it....just stick it out in the garden on different settings and learn that way.

Ive got a couple similar to the cheapo one above,a really pukka one would be wasted on me as technology aint my strong point.....i have my ones set on video and picture they stay on video for about 15 or 20 seconds and take a still pic every few seconds once triggered....ive realised its important to travel about a bit with them ive pretty much exhausted my local area and tend to see the same stuff all the time so vary the location a bit now.....lost a few from forgetting where they are but got that sussed now via the little blue dot on an Iphone ....like i say hi tech aint for me ?..... its a

No but ive heard the story a thousand times....but only ever by 1 person funny enough ?
-
I think its a good competitive fight,all these heavyweights are pretty much on the same level and Joshua is willing to take them on so wouldnt surprise me at all if he gets turned over......Pulev at least looks like a fighter should look and if Joshua doesnt jump on him and commit to what he,s good at doing he could well get roughed out of the fight.

It was a few years before i got into it all but one of the biggest turn outs inside a ground came at Upton Park when we gave Man Utd the whole of the South Bank...the Mile End mob took the whole end Brian Moore on Match of the Day was just talking like it was an everyday occurrence it was great ?....Utd were probably the main targets for everyone back then as they just had so many numbers infact the only time i ever got nicked for fighting at footie was against them and it wasnt even at footie it was on a ship?
-
The main fighting inside a ground used to come when you tried to take another mobs end it was why the dads/lads usually avoided standing behind the goals but in those days a group even 40/50 handed could pile all the way round from one end to the other almost unnoticed....pre all seated stadiums obviously.
-
I remember our last game against Millwall at Upton Park silly fuckers in their 40's parading around on the pitch with a big flabby darby hanging over their trousers covered in West Ham tattoos with their arms out giving it " well come on then " ?....go and sit down you daft c**t you're embarrassing.
-
I hadnt seen the start of this topic but just as a little afterthought as im not sure it was ever deemed worthy of making the news....but do you know this " hero " Roy Larner who possibly saved lives and risked his own on London Bridge that night never received one penny of compensation after the attack and was infact later forced to attend a " Counter Extremism " class.
-
Not sure id call it a " football family " thing anymore i think once you get into your late 20's and 30's that whole fighting at the footie thing gets a little bit embarrassing and you just become a regular fan..... theres nothing more cringeworthy than a bloke in his 30's or 40's jumping about like a teenager at the footie you get all that out your system as youngsters but yes the loyalty to your pals and the club is eternal.
-
Its not a football ground though mate its an athletics stadium.....footie grounds are designed in such a way that sound/atmosphere stays within the ground this place just isnt designed like that its the total opposite of The Boleyn which was a tight little ground intense atmosphere and intimidating for visiting clubs.....it was a proper football ground, and this isnt,simple as that.
-
He is a genuine West Ham fan mate....ive seen him walking along in the pissing down rain on his own coming away from games and ive seen him walking away from games surrounded by 20 little lads wanting autographs !.....i cant say as ive seen his book but listened to a number of his interviews and he always speaks very honestly about his feelings for the club. Hard as it is for me to say your lad is probably better off staying away from the new gaff.....it doesnt have any of the things that made me fall in love with the club,not the atmosphere,the togetherness,the intensity.....nothing....i

He had a big mop of curly blonde hair in his 20's ! ....Bill is exactly 10 years older than me so being bossed about by him as a 15 year old getting told things like " if you run you're in trouble " wasnt nice?....but it was all stuff that formed your morals i like to think.....he got a bit emotional about leaving the old ground mate thats all....we moved to a f****n great big goldfish bowl about 5 years ago that upset many of us older generation of fans.....i wouldnt expect other folk to understand but for some of us it was a massive loss.
-
Have a little listen to this ol boy Ken....its a nice little interview,no lies and bullshit like most of them....it'll give you a better idea of what it was all about....good ol chap Bill ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbIYKalA624

Same here mate....my pal has the latest Model X Tesla and i cant stand it....absolutely no driving experience at all i say to him all the time we'll go in my car rather than your dopey Scalextric job !

I think that table is for home charging ( 240 v ).....the forecourt ones are quicker in some way that i have no understanding of. The money they are throwing at it suggests this technology will be here to stay....but who knows how many monumental f**k ups we'll witness over the coming years.

Means f**k all to me mate i only went for the free sandwiches ?

You dont think im standing outside in the rain do you ?
