    Last i was told he had a book deal that got him out of trouble financially and is now back in the fitness game.....that depressions a f****r of an illness !
  2. Too right ive never seen what hard drugs do.......most people with half a brain distance themself from shitbags........if you surround yourself with shit people....shit is usually what you will get.......you dont need experience to work that out its common sense for most folk.
  3. Scotsman who has very little interest in football commenting on a football topic says even more
  4. Totally agree......if people took responsibility for their own actions and their own decision making instead of always blaming others for decisions they themself make life would be far more simple..........i used to fight at football but f**k going to war in Afghanistan thats not for me.....................one doesnt lead to the other,we make choices,simple............................and who,s Frank
  5. Something very fishy about that article..................had the shit kicked out of him by 3 lads,one of them done him round the cannister with a blunt object................and all he,s got is a black eye and a bruise on his lip ......what was it 3 eight year olds !
  6. If i thought my kids were at risk from a scumbag of any sort in my own area..............id do whatever it took.......if my kids reached a certain age where they didnt know right from wrong id have to take responsibility...........and thats coming from somebody who totally failed as a parent i must add .....but like i say,we all have to take responsibility for our own failings. No excuse for shitbags selling gear to kids,but again.......sometimes you got to do whatever it takes.........if there was a kiddy fiddler living at the top of the road you wouldnt just gamble on the hope your own kid
  7. As with most kennel block type set ups your big issue will be drainage.....and not just the immediate vicinity ( away from the kennels ) but where it all ends up......ive seen some great looking set ups that winthin 6 months were being uprooted and redone to accomodate correct drainage. With a dog in each of those kennels your talking about 7 dogs in a space of 16 x 12.....and thats without the shepherd......thats a lot of dogs in a small area....id forget a roof.....id want as much air swirling around as possible in that sort of space......as long as nothings made of wood and you keep up goo

    new years eve

    Cocaine,steroids and stella i could live with.....being a social worker/counsellor/keeper of the peace........sod that i wouldnt last 5 minutes these days.....my hats off to you sir anyone who can stick that game for as long as you have gets my vote....... a couple of years was plenty for me........
  9. No its not their fault its their parents fault........................adult human beings have to take responsibility for themself and their kids mate thats just life..............its too easy to blame another adult rather than facing up to our own failings.....but that takes character,of which very few people really have sadly.

    new years eve

    Not a big drinker myself and i cant stand overweight little pricks running round thinking they,re Tarzan just because of beer so i,ll have a few friends round to the gaff....hopefully in a good mood after a nice away win at Derby
  11. I totally agree......if every adult human being stood by their own choices we would have less of a blame culture in this country.......we want to blame the girl who gets raped because she wears a short skirt,we want to blame the drug dealer instead of the person who chooses to take it..................adult human beings make choices if they make the wrong one take it on the chin and make better choices for the future dont go blaming others for your mistakes.....

    Kindle?

    My mrs is exactly the same mate......im always saying to her " no way have you read every word on every page "..............i bought her one some time ago she hated it,especially on holiday where the suns constantly shining on it.......she also prefers what she calls " the feel and smell of a good boook " but then your mrs probably aint as scatty as mine so hopefully it wont be money down the toilet.
  13. Clearly youve never been to birmingham or london then lol.Also plenty of chinese are married to british white people I'm sure there are,but i've never seen a chinese man with another race of girlfriend/wife Must admit ive no real problem with the chinks they keep themself to themself........by and large they stick to their own Blans right you dont see many chinese going outside their own people certainly not compared to other races.......they dress normal,try to speak our language and like the English traditions footie and a bet etc.....forced to share our country id rather share it
  14. I agree with this......sometimes the proof is in the pudding....some of the fittest most well looked after no expense spared dogs ive ever seen grew up on and lived on chain set up yards,often with multiple dogs.........having a dog on a chain is no excuse for letting shit build up or not socialising a dog thats just bad animal husbandry regardless where they are kept.....id rather a well kept dog on a chain than a poorly kept dog in the house.......the chain,likewise the run,is merely to stop the dog running away i fail to see how it makes a dog more aggressive unless the dog is neglected or
  15. Yep i get what your saying mate and your right,especially the example about Special Forces etc that was a good one .......but i personally dont class dedication/drive as a skill......a skill is something that cant be taught you just have a natural talent for something...you may go your whole life without ever even knowing you have it,but its there.......dedication/drive if its there will usually surface in some other form it dont have to be sport some folk are just born naturally more driven than others.......drive with no skill is useless if your in a sport that requires skill........drive w
  16. The thing is mate,your talking about traits and qualities within athletes who have already reached the top.......Roy Keane didnt reach the the very top of his sport by lacking in any of the qualities we,ve mentioned........this is my point about how a sport like football is far " more of a sport " ( for want of a better saying).......than cycling......Roy Keane had bundles of skill/talent..............he also had bundles of drive,commitment and energy................the lad Cavendish had every bit the drive,commitment and energy Roy Keane had......but what skills does he have in a sport that d

    Just out of interest....Jones actually beat Kirkland Laing twice the first fight at Wembley Arena wasnt as convincing as the second but he was still somebody Laing just couldnt get past......Kirkland Laing was one of those misfit types you just want to get by the scruff of the neck and demand he dedicates himself.....although he was from Nottingham way he was a Duff/Lawless fighter so trained most of his career out of the Royal Oak he wasnt a well liked man,not because of his arrogance or his general weirdness....simply because he was so damn good !!.....i remember people like Lloyd Honeyghan

    Kindle?

    :laugh: .....Excellent......the amount of people who are going to get a kindle for their next birthday !.....talk about technology gone up its own arse......do what i do Jigsaw,stick with the normal everyday bookcase !
  19. Drove up to Birmingham yesterday for the Hammers game a few pals of mine handed me an envelope with a " special christmas gift " ..................having opened it up the first words i saw were " thankyou for sponsoring an East African child " ....................hence,i am now sponsoring Memiki from Rwanda for the next year !!!!
  20. All this thing about a dog on a chain will be more aggressive blah blah blah.....what nonsense......ive kept dogs on chains,in runs and on cable lines.....cable lines i always found best followed by chains then runs last......a dog on a chain will have far more room,can see the world without looking through bars,and will feel far more close to you than being behind the door so to speak......think how many times you walk near or past your dog over the course of a day your much more likely to have a quick little pet or play about with your dog on the end of a chain than you are having to open a

    When you have fought 200 fights over a 25 year career against the absolute best from the generations often fighting 2 or 3 fights per month........you tend to lose the odd fight. Its always difficult comparing the different eras,i love speaking to the ol boys who were around during that era and remember Robinson.....ive never heard any of them say Robinson wasnt the best middleweight of all time.
  22. Theoretically Tomo yes....but as we know it doesnt work out like that.......genetically west african blacks tend to dominate in sprinting....east african blacks tend to dominate in long distance running..................likewise with something like weightlifting being dominated by whites.......so to an extent sport is dictated by genetics......but what im getting at with cycling,there is no real genetic reason or skills/talent reason why virtually anyone with the right mindset could not reach the top........ronnie o sullivan trains very little yet continues to be one of the best snooker player
  23. Really.........i sometimes think mummy didnt give you enough attention as a youngster........but im not rude about it am i I say again this " if you compete against somebody its a sport " theory is complete nonsense......i used to have throw the ball in the bucket competitions with my son,thats not a sport either......
  24. Exactly !!......so if thats what can be achieved with little natural skill/talent in sport that requires skill/talent......think how far that same work rate and practise could take somebody in a sport that doesnt require any ..................last i looked riding a bike doesnt require any real skills as such......i accept theres a lot more to it than just riding a bike the way a kid rides round the park.......but its still riding a bike,just quickly and for a long time....................i fail to see the natural born talent thats required to be a top cyclist that doesnt come under the banner
  25. At my age of course not........as a younger man give me a reason why not ?..........what is it that a cyclist has that the rest of the athletic population doesnt have ?
