    Stuck!

    Took the dogs for a walk here earliee the River is in flood so they had a go at crossing, I offered to try and pull.them out, but they were wedged between the 3ft bank and a huge rock. . When I got back there was a load of them with strops anf ropes trying to get it unwedged.. I left them to it lol
  4. Done this with my lad last night.. sirloin steak on a Cold Noodle Thai salad.. made a sesame, soy, honey and lime dressing, all the usual Thai flavours was really good Slow cooking this leg today, the lad is making a Chocolate Torte for dessert.. weekend dad and son cooking... take it while I can lol
  5. My Dad's the same with Ali mate, says Ali was his hero, too. Ali is called the Greatest for a reason, and I don't think anyone will ever take that from him... im not one for trying to guess if a boxer from one era would beat another, the bottom line is he beat some of the hardest men to ever get in a ring, that era of Heavies was special and Ali was considered the best of the bunch.... I watched Cinderella Man, again, the other night, what a great story of battling through hardship to eventual success. I think boxing more than any other sport is littered with those types of stories.
  6. Its brilliant mate, all his stuff is.. I could bore you with my Fort Worth/Landman experiences... but i wont lol
  7. I was listening to Steve Bunce earlier, discussing the John Fury shit, and he put that to bed nicely. But more interestingly (for me) was hos virw on the current boxing scene, he stated that it is the best irs ever been and a month worth of fights now is better than a years worth in the 70s and 80s... his point was there's are over 2000 pro boxers now and back in the 70s there was 650 or so... so we are getting more fights than ever... he said he'd watched all these eras first hand and the best is now... I was born 76 so started my interest in the mid 80s, loved Hagler, named my first do
  8. Another 2 points dropped by Arsenal, not got the bottle? It'll kill them if they f**k up this year.
  9. Not watched much Italian football for a long while, might give it a bit of time again.
  10. Hard for ne to answer really mate, because I think I'm Geographically advantageous.. plus I've been at it for nearly 30 years, so I guess pretty established and perhaps less concerned by the sharp peaks and troughs a newer business would face... but... generally I think getting on in business is harder, I employ less lads now (had 35 on the books at one point and up to 40 or 50 subbies), that's partly because I don't want the aggro abd partly because there is a "sweet spot" (imo) where the business turnover and net profit align... it can be different for many people, but id say im about right
  11. f***ing bully, hes an embarrassment all round... why Tyson let's him turn up and act the c**t all the time I've no idea, he doesn't need that shit, it doesn't sale the fight, the only one benefiting is his dad and keeping his profile up...
  12. One of the local Reform councillors here is a complete prick, I've dealt with him and know him, not the bloke he portrays to be at all, I know hes a tiny cog but puts me off voting for reform completely... ill watch Restore with interest, might just start one up myself...revamp or maybe rewind lol
  13. So did I, my first dog, little black Whippet x mongrel...
  14. Some going from your mate, 90 goals in one season...
  15. Its all got a bit Monty Python for me now.. "We're the People's front of Judea" "No we're The Judean People's Front".. lol
  16. He might grow into them i suppose
  17. @Borr perfect size for odin maybe? great offer mate
  18. Agree on Arsenal doing it the right way mate, they've got a history of making good solid decisions, and Arteta is another one of those .. my only thought is, they have been almost there for a few years now and the big signing this year were meant to take them over the edge...but imo they've been flops.. Eze can't play in the rigid system, it is very Pep like every player has a position and place, someone like Eze struggles with that, he likes to roam and pop up all over the pitch... Gyokeres was meant to be there 20 goals a season striker, he just doesn't look like that imo... Rice is standout
  19. Completely agree mate, the 2 best cente backs in the league, Rice is quality.. but the rest, I dunno, even Odergard ain't that special imo.. I know we all wear Rose tinted glasses but those Wenger sides were on another level, Arsenal were boring before and they are too 1 dimensional now for me, they don't get you up off your seat fo they.. I loved Klopps Liverpool, that high pressure style and the pace up front... ill be honest and say as much as I admired Peps team 3 or 4 seasons ago, it wasn't the type of football I enjoy, like Arsenal now, the continuous recycling of the ball got too repeti
  20. Another slip up tonight, only 4 points now ..its not even squeaky but.time yet... lol
  21. Thank him from me mate, its great watching a UTD team getting at teams again... and beating City and Arsenal on the bounce was great lol
  22. If Arteta blows it this season do you think Arsenal will stick with him? Still a lot of games to play, and you wouldnt bet against City.. I think it would kill Arsenal to lose it this time around.
  23. I think im just regurgitating what everyone else is saying, but its simply playing the right players in the right positions... and how any manager can't see the quality of Kobbie Mainoo is beyond me, that boy is a proper footballer... A lot is talked about club identity or tradition, UTD were always an attack minded side, flying wingers, proper Centre Forwarsds, and ball players in Midfield... there is some real quality in this squad, Carrick has just (im not being flippant) allowed them the freedom to play.. it wasn't a great performance against you boys, but it showed that old UTD spiri
  24. Yeah its not cheap to watch any of the bigger gigs now, Eden project is a great venue bit like you say too expensive, I paid a bit for the Radiohead gig last year, but id waited 30 years to see them lol
