Its a fair point,must admit its not something i thought about while the kids were young or i was on the money chase....its only a bit later in life when theres no worries and nothing to keep me here that its seriously entered my thoughts,even so theres still so much id miss about England......and if im honest,like Attack Fell Terrier hinted at,id feel like im selling out on my own country,but there can be nothing worse than living with regrets....for me if i dont do it within the next 5 or 6 years i know i never will.

Whats the point having a mrs if your going to do the cooking yourself ...you aint thought this through pal
-
I hope you run your buiseness better than you seem to run your life !.....all sounds a bit strange to me
-
Good for you young sir...........i only wish i had the faith and stickability to do the same,i have till now but i cant see it lasting......as ive realised,loyalty will only get you so far.....but its an admirable stance to take nonetheless
-
Thats exactly what i like to do,when im on holiday !....going to live in a different culture speaking a language i dont know......thats not my idea of fun..... I love the greek islands Zante,Rhodes,Kos etc etc all beautiful places with great food,climate and culture but i couldnt live there.......no,give me a sun soaked Spanish villa surrounded by my fellow cockneys,that will do me for the last period of life
-
Well i love my own kind,just a shame few of them are here anymore...being amongst my own kind in nice sunny surroundings is very tempting....leaving what you,ve become loyal to aint always easy though......one day.

What like Egypt you mean ....what attracted me to Southern Spain is theres probably more Londoners than in London ....it will be like going home in a strange kind of way.
-
Been playing with the idea for a number of years now,got a place down in Southern Spain.....think im just putting off the innevitable......i look at my West Ham,look around at my pals and the beautiful East End of London and think what do i possibly want to be sitting by the pool in a sunny Spanish village sipping my Pimms for Not this year anyway.
-
To be honest Jasp im half hoping we do go down,this club needs a complete rebuild from top to bottom,we need to get back some of the traditions that made us a respected club,our big plus point was always bringing through great young talent....ok we had to sell them later on but it still gave us a constant supply of quality....no club in England has produced the quality of home grown talent West Ham have,Chelsea,Man Utd and Arsenal included ! Today we have too many average foreign players picking up a wage packet whereas we always had a good amount of local lads with a passion and desire to
-
I,ll give you a tenner for any true West Ham fan you can find that wants to !....for a start we couldnt fill a 60,000 capacity ground unless we,re playing one of the big 5......or Millwall.....the Boleyn has too much history and too much togetherness to move away from it....the atmosphere sometimes is like a 12th man on the pitch and the way we,re playing at the moment,we need that ! For the toffs and the johnny come latelys they will love it....for the true lifelong West Ham fans it will be the final nail in the coffin for many.
-
Never mind silly little Man Utd...the mighty Hammers turned a corner today,watch us start climbing the table now ....COME ON YOU IRONS ! In all seriousness....i wonder what the odds are on Man U matching what the Arsenal did and going the season unbeaten.
-
Everyone always bangs on about Cus Damato.... its BACAUSE of Cus Damato that Tyson went the way he did personality wise....taking in a young talented lad and teaching him boxing skills is great,but taking in a lad and allowing him to run riot doing what he wants and abusing people while teaching him boxing skills is just wrong....but that said,no boxing trainer can put in what nature left out .... Tysons speed and explosive power made him look spectacular while climbing the ladder.... his internal weakness and lack of heart made him look just as spectacular falling back down the ladder !
-
Of the names listed there i actually thought Spinks had the best chance of beating Tyson.....shows what i know .......it was THE worst era of heavyweight boxing,thats not even up for debate ! Mike Spinks was a class act and in my opinion would have beat any other heavyweight of that era apart from Tyson...i actually had a lot of money on Spinks to win that fight ...if he had come in with the right attitude he would have stood a good chance as stylistically he could have given Tyson a lot of trouble. Tyson is a very good historian of the sport and gained great knowledge from Jimmy Jaco
-
Thats about the most accurate description so far ...though gobshite is a bit harsh.....the expression " its not the dog in the fight its the fight in the dog "...always springs to mind when Tyson comes up.....dont matter how strong you are on the outside its the inside that usually lets you down,and it certainly did with this man.
-
Absolutely,we are on the same page ....cajun rules dictate their can be no cruelty.......... Trying to create poor health in an animal that has no choice.....if thats not cruel i dont know what is !
-
Its my opinion that any and every breeder of these monstrosities should be arrested and charged with animal cruelty,or at least be subject to rspca investigations..... In todays times people are arrested and jailed for dog fighting,animal baiting,starving dogs etc etc.....but PURPOSELY breeding extremely unhealthy animals for financial gain is actually encouraged If its cruel to purposely starve,bait or fight an animal then its also cruel to purposely breed worse and worse dogs that you know are going to be more and more unhealthy and therefore suffer more and more in day to day life...

Nobody is trying to justify anything mate,crime is illegal !!.....and there is usually a victim.....it wasnt a popularity contest of course some folk were victims thats just the nature of making a living off crime...... To straight living folk the Krays were well liked and admired.....the local family buiseness you talk of loved the Krays.....the dodgy illegal drinking clubs/pubs ( people that couldnt go to the police ) hated the Krays because they had no answer to them.....nobody said they were good guys,but you will find that many straight living people from 60,s East London were very happy
-
Yep cant argue with that,in todays times there is a small section of folk,usually very impressionable young men who read books and watch films etc and read into it something completely different to what it actually was.Hardmen ....theres nothing " hard " about any of it....Lennie Mclean was one of the physically toughest men i ever saw but he never claimed to be a hardman simply because fighting came natural to him...it wasnt difficult for a man like him to go and fight another big strong man it just came natural.....its the stuff that doesnt come natural to a man,the stuff that makes you lo

Hard to disagree with that.

Here we go more spurs fans coming out the woodwork........nobody wanted to admit they followed spurs until lately .....bit like Chelsea for the last 30 years !
-
Violent criminal fathers and husbands you mean ?
-
Not a bad game considering 1 teams got 9 defenders !....Rooneys having a nightmare by the look of it.
-
I wouldnt call it " idolise " but i certainly respect the fact that 2 not particularly bright young lads from an extremely poor background were able to make the most of what they had and create the makings of a better life.... " Shaw and Mclean were hardly Wyatt Earp "........were they supposed to be then ? .....only folk from this area in that era would understand the shit and poverty men tried to rise above in those days,if that meant bending a few laws then that was the best option for many folk. I agree you cant compare crimes/crime rates same as you cant compare sentancing etc
-
Theres no reason to think the krays wouldnt have been involved with the drug game,charlie got 12 years for trying to import,his grandson is doing life for chopping someones head off over drugs !....but as for the twins id have my doubts its something they would have been heavy into,although money is always a motive they were about a lot more than just money,they were more obssessed with power than being obssessed with money,its often said they could have been a lot more wealthy than they actually was simply because power/fame was just as important to them as making money. That said,even if th
