    Aint you the chap who was in Tonys in Waltham Abbey the other week.....you need to sort your taste buds out...and for f**k sake dont tell him you thought it was Parsley Sauce ?

    I can take or leave eels but thats the best way to have them for me stewed on a plate of pie and mash......eels was poverty food,this was a desperately poor area after the war and eels were seen as cheap nutritious food.....its hard to believe its survived to the modern day.....i remember watching the blokes down Billingsgate chop up these energetic slithering creatures that we all thought at the time was such wonderful grub.....until they declared that the Thames as a river was biologically dead and was described in the media as " a badly managed open sewer "......that slowed down the popular

    The Royal Oak was the boxing gym it was on the Barking Rd though not on Rathbone St... the pie shop you are thinking of was Ollies....dont know if you remember he used to have a parrot in the shop that would be constantly saying " gizza bit " ?....his daughter used to look gorgeous stood there with all blood down her nice white apron cutting the heads off the eels there was something quite sexy about it !.....the Raffy brings back a lot of childhood memories do you remember the Sarsaparilla stall ?....we used to call if the Raffy cough mixture....me and my brother used to nick bottles and keep

    While these idiots deserve any rough treatment they get.....i couldnt do it.....my first thoughts were that it just didnt look right....if he put his hands on my mrs like that id be wanting a quiet word with him but i suppose the position these dopes put themselves in means they cant complain when things cut up a bit rough.

    Ive had stick for it in the past but ive always said my friends are more important to me than my family,i chose my friends i didnt choose my family.....i have a lot of acquaintances and general pal types of people but i only have a handful of true friends who id do anything for,i love them dearly and am totally committed to them having studied their characters over many years and been through a lot together.....must admit i never thought id ever say it but my ol woman has become one of my best friends i always thought the " shes my mate as well as my wife " thing was a corny pile of nonsense b

    new pm

    gnasher16 replied to .357shooter's topic in General Talk

    Not that it,ll make a difference as they are all a shower of c**ts but id sooner have a pm who has lived a bit of life rather than these dry lunches who cant say the word " poo " without thinking they,re living dangerously !

    All the East End pie shops have their own liquor recipes their staff are sworn to secrecy.....i couldnt eat it with gravy its the liquor that makes it i dont think the pies differ much from shop to shop but i can easily tell Manzes liquor from Cookes for instance. Green Lurchers your the foody chap if im not wrong whats your favorite pie shop mate do you have one ?

    oh i know Holloway Rd reasonably well i,ll have an ask around maybe its not who i was thinking it was.

    Ive heard the name mentioned before is it over Putney way im not sure,not really an area i know that well......theres loads of personal trainers popping up nowadays mate some are worth listening to and some are not....like anything i suppose.

    Never mind ripping tendons off the bone just as long as you dont waste your gym membership ? The " no guts no glory " routine is great to have but at this stage it really doesnt pay you,ll just injure yourself.....honestly mate start training tendons/ligaments it basically involves lifting heavier weight but in much more restricted movements.....just do it every 3rd session or something if you stick at training you,ll reap the rewards later on.
  13. gnasher16
    That doesnt really narrow it down mate......saying " do you know a boxer called Roy from Bethnal Green "......is like saying....." do you know a Jew called Avi from Stamford Hill " ? Editted to add...its ok mate i dont need to know who he is i just thought if his picture was on the wall he might of been a well known fighter i just didnt recognise....sorry for prying its none of my business thinking about it ?

    Adding weight is a part of training i have constantly changed my mind about over the years i am now convinced that at least for my own body i have it sussed and having spoken with other chaps in similar scenarios they agree and have adjusted their training likewise. The first plateau beginners to lifting usually suffer is around 3 months when they can no longer continually add weight.....and my belief is that their ligaments and tendons cannot keep up with their musculature.....a balanced physique is like an engine where everything is useful to each other and does its own job in getting m

    I agree these apps are good for beginners to training but i equate them to a cab driver learning the roads with a satnav.....they do the brainwork for you and stop you gaining real knowledge......and also the more accomplished you become you ARE going to pick up injuries,you ARE going to have days where your not up to it.....an app cant tell you how to train around injury you have to learn about your own body......we used to have these 3 high tec gadgets back in the day.....pen,paper,clock......they took care of most things.

    As a youngster we can eat anything thats not nailed down but without constant activity over years our metabolism slows right down.....starving for a day is bad news though if you cant get enough food on board try meal replacements or supplements.

    Welcome to my world....im still convinced theres something out there i can be world champion at ?

    The chap on the left Is Tony Lane the shop owner i dont recognise the other chap
  19. gnasher16
    Im guessing your grandads not Tony or John Conteh...who is that mate ?
  20. gnasher16
    He,s a good lad Tony Lane started from nothing and done well for himself,although he,s at risk of turning that gaff into a celebs hangout....great grub even though im a Manzes man myself........oh and Pie & Mash with gravy is blasphemy !...whats the point....i mean just whats the point ?
  21. gnasher16
    It was a sales pitch mate....Bob Arum submitted a tender....nothing more.

    Absolutely right great post that....you get these armchair critics on these forums that have no idea what the pressure of fighting another man in a fair fight is like yet have the audacity to make statements like " he quit "....people dont need to have tact on a forum they say the edgiest shit they can say yet have no real idea,interest or desire in a physical fight. An old trainer once said something to me when i was a young man getting into trouble,having enemies etc....." The quickest way to make a friend of somebody is to have a fight with them ".....stuck with me for years those word

    We can all sit down on our punches when theres no threat coming back..........Joshuas biggest fault is totally committing to his punches,some brawlers are like that the gamble they take on landing their shots is what makes them exciting to watch.....Fury is a safety first slap happy back handed jab merchant whos length and mobility keep him out of trouble....his sheer size,weight,reading of a fight and movement will be an issue for any opponent but you cant gauge anything when one of the top fighters in the world faces somebody like Schwarz....athletically Fury will gain nothing from that figh

    Charles Martin was a fight for the World title he wasnt chosen....how else was he supposed to get the belt ? Charles Martin is rated on boxrec at 17. Tom Schwarz is rated on boxrec at 56. Once a fighter has fought at world level he cant go back to fighting bouncers.....personally i think once a fighter breaks into the top 15 he shouldnt be allowed to fight opponents outside the top 15.....theres no competitive reason to do so.

    Things are certainly on the up and up both kids taking the ol man out for a slap up meal on Fathers Day and not one single bit of abuse thrown at me?
