  1. No dogs on shots in the 70,s and ,s ....yeah alright.
  2. Lets see what big job either of them 2 get next then eh
  3. There we go you got the idea you have to get into the nooks and crannies of an area to see what its really like.......anyway the Knave aint there no more its a posh French Restaurant now
  4. Anywhere round Star Lane from the Durham right down to the Peacock Gym both sides of the A13 even as far down as the docks and Custom House you will find plenty of solid communities who have stayed put through the generations and maintained traditional life from pubs to sport to crime its no different now to what it was when we was kids yes theres darkies and pakis same as there ever was but you dont get hoards of East Europeans and Africans setting up their own communities locals still have enough about them not to stand for it.
  5. Makes you laugh with this Hughie kid he,s been a pro longer than Joshua yet the same people moaning about Joshua fighting rollovers dont mind a more experienced pro like Fury being babied along in absolute nothing fights......if Joshua had not of won a gold would it be acceptable for him to have these sort of fights as well ? As for all this Kassi fought the man who Joshua is fighting so that makes him a tough opponent ......you dont fight a name you fight a man whos to say the same man was in the same shape with the same desire for both opponents !
  6. What is the debate anyway? Hahaha. Of course it was a weapon to close distance and create openings, but everybody saw what happened when he neglected it. It was vital to his game IMO. I,ll have one last try for you to say Tyson had a great jab he would of had to out jab other good jabbers.....and he never......Douglas beat him up with the jab alone....even Tucker before that some folk believe he should of got the decision because of the jab.......Tyson would of had a good jab in the light heavyweight division,guys of his size.....but he could never of won a fight with his jab he was a slugg
  7. When you say out jabbed.....do you actually think he could of out pointed either of those 2 gents over 12 rounds on his jab ?.......his jab wasnt a stand alone punch like a Liston jab that would damage whatever it hit or a peak Holmes jab that could win fights it was purely a filler he could never of won a fight with it which is the benchmark for a great jab surely.......i dont think Tucker beat him but he certainly showed the way he was going to be beaten.....as for the fanatics/excuses etc i couldnt agree more ive said for years he was a good champion probably on par with someone like Ezzard
  8. What you suggesting mate that they didnt exist ?.....the records are out there and documented for anyone to see of the dogs around in those days......guys like Mayfield put their all into what they did and got the best results they could for the era they was in the dogs what more can you ask.
  9. Any of you chaps into your expensive wines/spirits either to drink or as an investment if your ever in London check out a shop just off Berkeley Square called Hedonism......go downstairs and have a look round its a real eye opener.
  10. Yes i watched all 7 series over the months Peter was it you that recommended them to me i cant remember i know it was someone off here.......it was a lot better than i thought,the first series was a struggle it felt like as soon as you get familiar with a character they get killed ....but yes i found it quite addictive,i think once you can get passed the stage of accepting how 30 people can get killed and plod dont even take a fingerprint or nobody reports their father/son/brother missing you can enjoy it for what it is .......i liked the later series best i thought the guy Nero was a cool c
  11. funny you should say that about sports exercise etc, an old fella I work with kept racing/coursing greyhounds all his life and although he's mostly retired now he thinks the dogs in the 80's were better conditioned and stronger through work than what they are now... Maybe he's just full of romantic memories of the dogs he had?! Or maybe dog owners now rely a lot more on chemicals and nutrition than before? I dont know much about racing/coursing dogs mate as ive never really been around them but in terms of the video posted the art of peaking a competition bulldog today compared to the ,s
  12. Unless your going to move right out into the sticks where time stands still then everywhere is going to change to a degree......i can live with that.....obviously when the time comes that you cant even hold a conversation with folk in day to day life in an area then its time to move on.......but personally i never moved away from the East End because of foreigners i just think sometimes you outgrow an area and want to live in nicer surroundings but i,ll never forget where im from or ever disrespect it as a manor i love the place......i just wish important people loved is as much as i do.
  13. Perfectly normal mountain climbing attire........aint it ? LIttle Havens Kids Hospice over Benfleet way
  14. f****n hilarious how gullible some folk are you can see now why they had Our Enery splashing it all over every day

  16. Sounds like a decent night out when your 18 lol There we go thats the spirit.......for scatty little hoodlums without a pot to piss in you couldnt find a more exciting place to live than the nastier parts of East or South London.
  17. Yes i do think my part of East London is better......but after a lifetime rivalry with Rotherhithe/Bermondsey that go,s a lot deeper than just football ive come to have a grudging respect for them over the years.....ive said for some time now if they wasnt from where they are id probably quite like some of them....but they,re not so f**k em.......but yes i accept what your saying.......then again anywhere the other side of the Old Kent Rd then forget it
  18. Ive just spent the weekend listening to all that dialogue after another blinding result for the Hammers yesterday......i like the area the football rivalry is great round there 4 good clubs all close together its just about the most dreary dosey accent ive ever heard and i really have to concentrate to understand whats being said at times but its got a bit of character i know a few lads from Willenhall/Wednesbury area.....always saying their from the reeeeel black country......buzz and bostin .......tara ra bit and all that caper.....funny fuckers
  19. Very nice..... Green lurchers is either a chef or he,s a great big fat bloke .....either way whenever i see his pics i have to go for a quick rummage round the fridge !!
  20. I find watching these types of series after they are popular the best way.......you can get the full sp before committing to watching it and you can watch them all straight after each other if you wish......saves you forgetting whats going on week to week........i enjoyed Peaky Blinders like other folk have said the accents spoiled it a bit but good watch anyway.
  21. Its worth remembering Mayfield had very few equals as a conditioner in his day......listening to those old timers is interesting from a historical point of view but our understanding of sports exercise and nutrition both feed and chemically has come on so much since those days that you cant really take anything more from it than a basic useful guide.
  22. Dogfox i think you are missing what im trying to say mate......not every jab a fighter throws has the same intention i never saw Tyson use the jab to stay on the outside he wanted to close distance not create it.......i,ll leave it there as its only my opinion.
  23. I agree it was a decent range setter to create openings........but it wasnt a point scorer.......he just wasnt the type of fighter who came out to win the rounds.

    Pigeon Lads

    The young lad i had staying would hit me with all sorts of shit he had read.....widow wood is it.....ets pads.....id imagine like anything its well involved and loads to it but much as i tried for his sake i had absolutely no interest to be honest and he discovered girls anyway so it all went to pot.......all i wanted to know was how much weight could be strapped to their legs on them cross channel races
  25. LIke i said thats dirty little Millwall slags for you they gave up years ago.......have a look around Canning Town/Custom House/Silvertown/Beckton etc theres still pockets of proud white English folk who have stuck in and stayed true to their area. I used to go out with a bird whose grandparents lived down 3 Colt street, it was like being in the film Zulu, fuzzy wuzzies all around and a small white group in the flats in the middle ! Lol lol Times change Wilf you,d be lucky to get a bedsit round there for under a mill now......most of Dundee Wharf are copping for 5/6k per month rents.....g
