  1. We bought a place about 10 years ago down in the south about halfway between Bordeaux and Limoges it was previously owned by some old artist bloke who used to go there to inspire him ......it was basically a big old barn conversion completely in the middle of nowhere we only went there 3 times in 2 years but made a couple of quid on it theres plenty of folk selling up here and buying there its a nice slow paced life but as someone else said theres just too many French people there
  2. Not having the right to hunt theoretically means we cant do it......but does the fact society says we cant do it stop us from doing it ? If queers are not given the right to marry are they going to stop being queer ? Why they need our blessing and approval is beyond me unless not having our approval means they have to stop doing what they are doing. Attention seeking maybe ?
  3. Who is saying no no no to male gayness ?......i accept them..........i also accept theres heroin addicts but i dont think they should be made to feel welcome and accepted. Or is that going a little bit too far
  4. They can have a little party and call it what they want i couldnt give a shit......but why do they need recognised law and legislation ?.......I,ll tell you why......to force society into giving them their blessing and approval thats why !
  5. Its this wishy washy hippy " turn the other cheek " cobblers that got us into the trouble our societies are now in with immigration......30 years ago some of us were ranting and raving about it but others were saying " it doesnt effect me so who cares "......now those same people are demanding something be done !! Why should we turn the other cheek and say " well im not bent so it doesnt effect me ".......you might not be an immigrant either but it still effects our societies we are all too quick to be tolerant and accepting of folk different from us....while all the time societies standar
  6. Nothing wrong with making mistakes if you get the chance to correct them and it sounds like you are taking that chance with both hands so good on you tb25. Great to see youngsters trying out different sports its a crime in my opinion that people are walking round with bundles of sporting talent that never come to the surface through lack of opportunity.......who knows where the next Muhammad Ali or Pele/Bjorn Borg/Steve Davis will come from if kids are not given opportunities in different sports. Where i came from you either kicked a ball or had a fight they were the sporting options..
  7. The whole " do i tell the family " thing is something that will be different for everyone and every family..........i thought i was doing the right thing not telling my lot about something last year then when they eventually found out they all threw fucks into me,my sister clumped me round the back of the head You cant do right for doing wrong with families i cant be doing with it......at least with your pals its all up front and honest !
  8. For me its more about " time and a place for everything ".......trying it on with a bird on a night out or in a pub etc no problem.....trying it on with a bird going about her business at home or work is not on for 101 reasons so why risk offending her................unless shes already given you a flash of course
  9. No its not crime of the century,and maybe he was footing a ladder.........but would he of said/done the same at a bloke passing ? Im not into all the feminism caper but i detest all this " lad humour " and " im a geezer because i drink beer and whistle at women " just as much. is that lad humour? he stood in the road and said 'hello love',and thats made into a national news paper. Lets be sensible ......if i called out " Hello " to someone.....depending on the tone i took it could either be taken as a pleasant " awww he,s a nice man " .....or in a different tone it could b
  10. Hopefully its just precautionary tests and nothing serious.......i wish you well If theres one thing ive learned this last year its that you cant have too many tests......better the devil you know and all that.......as regards family,would you want to know if your child/wife/parent was going through a traumatic time ? of course you would its only fair on you to know..... so you have to be fair to them as well.
  11. Should there have been a cap that prevented the likes of Joe Louis fighting Primo Carnera? Of course not..At 6 ft 5 and a half Carnera was a big man but that cant be compared with the trends we are seeing today.He was as heavy as most large fighters today and towered nearly every fighter of that era, he was a freak of nature. That didn't stop great smaller fighters from beating him just like it doesn't today.Can you not see the irony in what you are saying ?..............the fact we remember a fighter like Carnera from near 100 years ago is because he was a freak ......do you think Tyson Fury

  14. While i agree he deserved better the harsh truth is the likelihood of a black man being killed in police custody in America is 6 times more likely than a white man thats a statistical fact that has nothing whatsoever to do with prejudice its just common sense....same as if 6 times as many black people crossed roads as whites there will more than likely be 6 times as many black people get run over and killed than white........its not a difficult mathematical equation. So yes it is because they are black,but not for the " poor oppressed victim " reasons folk try to portray its a lot more sim
  15. Great reward comes with great risk.......nobody plays a game they dont know the rules to so make your decision live with your decision.....when on someone elses turf you play by their rules its quite fair.

  18. Who ?...................name me some other world class fighters throughout history who were 6 ft 8 + ? What im saying is these men are winning fights because of their size not because of their boxing ability and thats wrong........we have weight divisions to stop that happening......just as long as you are below 200 lb that is Human beings are evolving bigger......boxing needs to evolve with it. That's the whole point they weren't world class, if what you say is true then they wouldn't need to be world class to defeat the smaller yet better fighters. Ok forget world class........
  19. When you think 4 pound seperates many divisions !
  20. oh ok my mistake.......thought it was strange as i remembered reading some of your boxing posts before and you seemed to know your stuff

  22. Taking ridiculously awkward size away.....do you think Valuev was anything more than an average/decent boxer in any other generation than this one then ? Lets be honest and straight about it.....fighters like Klitchko/Fury/Price ( basketball player types ) couldnt lace David Hayes boots for technical ability and punch delivery.......at the same size it wouldnt even be competetive.
  23. If Valuev was a world champion quality boxer regardless of size......then im a world champion quality ballerina.......regardless of size ! He was the greatest heavyweight of all time without doubt..............but that was the days before freak size fighters........can you imagine a 5 ft 11 inch/13 and a half stone Rocky Marciano trying to fight a 6 ft 9 inch/19 stone Tyson Fury ?.........................it would be like me bashing my son about it wouldnt even be a fight......and thats the mockery being made of iconic heavyweight champions. A young lad could be coming through the ran
