  1. 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
  2. No but ive heard the story a thousand times....but only ever by 1 person funny enough ?
  3. 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.
  4. 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?
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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
  11. 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.
  12. 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
  13. 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 !
  14. Good old East End icon...did a lot for those less fortunate....she wont be forgotten in a hurry thats for sure,may she RIP
  15. 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.
  16. Means f**k all to me mate i only went for the free sandwiches ?
  17. You dont think im standing outside in the rain do you ?
  18. Depending on the car they are aiming for 20 mins to 200 miles as an average apparently.
  19. Got invited to the opening of the countries first Gridserve Electric Forecourt in Braintree the other day... to say it was mind boggling is an understatement !.....showers,gyms,restaurants,conference rooms all while you charge the motor up i can see some people making a weekend of it ?.....its a strange,scarey future ahead !
  20. Personally i dont think they should be kneeling for anything.....id like to see politics erased from sport be that at live events or on the telly.....nobody pays for Sky sports in order to be preached at by an openly marxist political movement theres just no place in sport for politics of any description.
  21. Good post that....powerful.
  22. Im of the opinion that the only way wealth truly comes into play in regards to health/life expectancy and suchlike is private healthcare......the average man in the street gets a pain in his belly,waits a week for an appointment,3 months for an mri....another few weeks for treatment etc etc....whereas if you can afford to you get that pain in your belly checked out this aftenoon,mri tomorrow and treatment on Monday......money just enables you to keep better check on your health in my opinion.....and the first sign of trouble bang,its treated. Food wise we all make conscious decisions what
  23. It'll be interesting to hear what he has to say about that.....22 players all standing wouldnt of been allowed so knowing Millwall were going to stand they take the knee its so f****n infantile the ways these peoples minds work ?
  24. Must admit theres a couple of things that ive found really funny with Sky/the medias desperation to brainwash. The way they tried to report Millwall fans clapping their players for standing up as " Millwall fans clap Qpr players for taking the knee " ??........yeah course they was ! And then during the West Ham booing,the way the ground staff turned the volume to " Bubbles " right up and the Sky studio spoke over/edited out any booing....ive seen/heard friends phones who were inside the ground the booing was exactly the same as at Millwall/Colchester.....but we cant have a Premier Le
  25. The football thing was just a culture that young lads got into back then,boys/men fight whether its school against school,boys club against boys club or estate against estate it was all about standing up for your friends and your area which in turn tended to also be your football club....obviously like most silly things you do when you're young its all very embarrassing now looking back but they were fun days where you learned a lot about yourself and those around you.....at the time i hated Millwall with a passion but looking back i can acknowledge that they had some exceptionally tough uncom
