Just seems a big waste of energy to me,dragging people away from important areas of politics.....he seems a good lad,likeable,interesting to listen to.....but important votes for Nationalist parties are being swallowed up by the fact people are following him rather than a political party that can bring into force the type of things he is standing up against.

Thanks chaps that looks a nice simple little camera Arry thats the sort of thing im after,i dont mind paying a bit more just as long as its not for technology thats going to be wasted on me....ive been told that by a few people about mobile phones how the picture quality go,s the more you zoom...most of what i,ll be doing will be distance stuff so that side of things will be important.

Stone me that looks a blindin day out that does,was it all the same show and is it like an annual thing or what ?....needs a bit of investigating this...excellent stuff ? -
Its probably been done to death but i cant be arsed sifting through all the topics.....what is a good starter camera that hasnt got too many buttons ?.... to literally point and shoot ?....a mate told me Nikon Coolpix is good and they have zooms of x60 and more ( though im not convinced he knew much more than i do )....any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

It makes me cringe with embarrassment for him whenever i listen to his line of patter. He seems totally oblivious to how there will be other chaps of his era up and down the country who were around boxing gyms in the 80,s and witnessed some of his antics......and who will be chuckling away watching him talk about morals,honesty and principals ! If anyone around Yorkshire way happens to know an ex fighter called Frank Grant or Terry Day from John Celabanski's old gym they,ll tell you some funny things about Mr Partridges gym exploits....Mr Fury i mean.

Who are you Newcastle fans realistically hoping for ?.....you aint in enough trouble that you have to worry about getting stuck with Allardyce so who would be seen as ideal at this moment ?
-
Joshua was not born a fighter he is a big powerful streetwise kid who has been turned into a boxer....theres nothing wrong with that but a lack of early schooling as a kid where you learn to think and move like a fighter as second nature was always going to be his undoing when mixing in the company he has mixed in,the fact that he has become one of the wealthiest yet humble fighters in the world on such an unsophisticated and innocent approach to the sport is a credit to his competitive attitude and one that other competitors respect and appreciate. It is in stark contrast to Fury who wou

By " fell for fast eddies spiel " do you mean bought his ppv shows ?.....these are the times we live in Hearn puts on far superior boxing events than any other British promoter so people who want to watch top boxing have to pay for it.....by " a few with a little nous did not " do you mean a few didnt buy his ppv shows ?....in which case what top boxing shows are they watching that are better ? Fury has only won 1 fight against a top 10 opponent in his entire career and that was 4 years ago....Joshua losing a fight does not change that...it is what it is. If you cant see how Fury has

Personally i dont think a mate standing by your side in a tear up proves anything whatsoever about friendship....some people just enjoy scrapping its no hardship ! Ive lost money,time and blood for friends and blood was by far the easiest ?
-
Bang on the money for me.

And people have the nerve to turn their noses up at pie & mash.....give me eels in liquor over this putrid looking bilge all day long. Im sure it tastes nice enough but it looks similar to the view you get when you lift a manhole cover !
-
Im not sure about 100% trust in your wife....like i said earlier my mrs has become one of my best friends over the years but theres still things i wouldnt expect or demand off of her that i would expect from my friends.
-
? Same as you mate the things we do for our kids eh.....well actually grandkid now.......f****n Build a Bear factory whats my life come to !

Very few people know that Cyprus is actually a small area in Beckton named after the Cyprus estate that used to house the workers at Royal Albert Dock.....it was named the Cyprus Estate to commemorate the island coming under British control in the 1800,s..... Cypriot immigrants tended to head for the area with the mistaken belief that they had their own community here.....a lot of people from the area myself included have an affinity with Cyprus and Cypriots for this reason.
-
The community spirit was superb back then,solid people who stood up for each other in an absolute toilet of an area,we was all poor but we didnt know it....Flattop is too polite to say but where he was from on the Isle of Dogs was the more upmarket part,it was still a shithole but where i was from in Canning Town was just desperate ive always felt an instant connection with people from this area like a common bond of determination to improve your life simply because getting any worse wasnt an option.

The geezer on the bike you mean ?.....there used to be another one doing the knife sharpening if you remember they would cycle from Tower Bridge to Custom House the old boy doing the knives had the totters yard in Star Lane that the boxing trainer Jimmy Tibbs took over... i remember he took me in Pollocks the tailors as a teenager to get fitted with my first suit and we collected it on the day i was going to court,so kept it on and like a little tramp went next door in Forinos for a Lemon Ice and dropped it down my new suit ?....funny days do you remember The Bridge House where we would all go

I must of only been 12 or 13 i might of even knocked one out on the strength of that but yes you would probably need to of seen her to complete the picture ?
-
What some people dont seem to understand is that a fighter like Joshua losing doesnt make a fighter like Fury any better !......when you take on top opposition you lose fights as Joshua has,as Dillian Whyte has.....when you dont take on top opposition you dont lose fights......Fury has only beaten 1 top 10 opponent in his entire career !!!......besides Klitchko the greatest victory of his career was against Derek Chisora,a journeyman/fringe domestic level fighter......he hasnt beaten a top 10 fighter for 4 years and his last menaningful fight ended in a draw and featured him losing consciousne
-
He is a boxing promoter ( salesman ) its his job !.....the same as Frank Warrens job.....the difference is Eddie Hearn has made Joshua and the boxing game in general millions and millions and Frank Warren has made Fury relatively little. Eddie Hearn is disliked by armchair critics like you but loved by fighters......Frank Warren has always been liked by armchair critics but hated by fighters. People like you are naive as f**k ....you just dont know it.....which i guess is the blueprint of being naive in the first place !
-
Its funny looking back the things we used to do to compensate for being poor.....Eels for nutrition that gave you the shits because they were out of an open sewer...and then undiluted Sarsaparilla with heaps of sugar mixed in to get you over the diaorreah caused by the Eels ? ....i look back and think it was all just a scam to get what little money we did have i mean bananas must of been available back then im only talking about the 70,s for f**k sake ! The irony is The Royal Oak is now an estate agents and Raffy Market is now luxury flats....i bought a flat over Canary Wharf a few years
-
I felt sorry for her she looked a shy little thing totally out of her depth......not for me womens boxing.
-
Look at that Charles Martin fight as an example.....also on that show was Macklin v Rose...George Groves,Lee Selby,Jamie Mcdonnel,Ohara Davies,Cheeseman,Benn. When Fury fought the geezer the other week id never heard of anybody on the show except Fury ! Joshuas resume is far better than any other heavyweight....but the risk in that is you might lose fights......again,viewing figures tell their own story about Hearn.
-
That was a good night of boxing last night,i still say for top domestic fight the York Hall takes some beating. Ted Cheeseman is a very tough lad,durable,rugged.....but he will have a short career if he doesnt start respecting whats coming back at him he thinks he can walk through opponents and for that reason i agree i think European will be his level....likewise Benns boy he is going to be in some exciting fights but he wont go beyond British/European level.....ive said a few times i think those 2 lads biggest fight could well end up being against each other down the line. Watched

You are aware that Eddie Hearn is likely to be the greatest boxing promoter this country has ever had....he has taken the sport to its height of popularity in Britain and is now doing what Frank Warren couldnt.....B level fighters are now getting paid A level fighters money because of Eddie Hearn......ask any young British fighter who he would like to sign with and they will all say Hearn......you see boxing from an armchair critics viewpoint but for people actually involved as fighters/trainers/journeymen,even paying punters... Eddie Hearn is doing a fantastic job that no other British promot
