  1. Couldn't agree more. My tipping point was when they put barriers up. This was supposed to be for safety. But we all know what it led to. I can remember as a small boy my mother saying to me before a match " don't get crushed" because occasionally people were hurt when those wooden massive doors would give way because of the sheer pressure of numbers. I remember thinking " how am I going to prevent that?" but telling her I would be careful lol. And then damn me they caged everybody like animals which led to several tragedies. If an idiot like me could see it was going to happen,why couldn
  2. You were robbed of a point. The evidence of a foul was there for all to see...Gordon's exposed Achilles. Let's all hope VAR is abandoned. Its been a disaster. A lousy,failed example of fixing what ain't broke.
  3. I'm not particularly hostile to Fury but I think he is very overrated compared to heavyweights I grew up with. I don't think he's anywhere need the top 20 heavyweights of all time. I am hostile to his dad. I thought you had made a typo with the word 'copium'. But I looked it up , thanks for the education. Still think a guy of that size is not in an even contest. Every pundit and his dog agrees Usyk is a classier boxer than Fury . IF Fury was the same height and eight as Usyk who would win? It somehow goes against the grain to me at least that he's considered a great heavyweight simply
  4. I concede Fury has many more skills than Valuev.
  5. Rape is often used as a weapon of war. Think,I'd fight to the death every time rather than surrender to the SFL.
  6. A fat bouncer could subdue a top lightweight. If Fury wins it will be because of bulk. Valuev was freakishly huge but could smother the likes of class boxer David Haye. Is this the future of heavyweight boxing? Basket ball players and man mountain weight lifters? Big Daddy v The Undertaker?
  7. An embarrassment to the Uk and British boxing. Why would you tolerate a defective like that around your kids? He's hardly the 'Werthers Original' grandad. I think Tyson's wife would have f****d him off years ago if she had a choice, but gypsy traveller women have little say in these things.
  8. I visited a museum in Spain and I was amazed at how small the average Spaniard soldier was. Less than 5 foot. Their armour breast plates were like children's sizes. Savage little b*****ds though. During the war the jerries used to refer to Glaswegian soldiers as 'poison dwarves'. Small, but vicious. Even now Glaswegian people tend to be small. A guy of UK average height or taller is often referred to as ' big guy' or ' big yin'. If you are over 6 foot you are a spectacle to be stared when walking along a street.
  9. I didn't realise how many people worldwide spoke spanish. I guess they were empire builders like we were.
  10. My Mrs has a Coronation St accent. It's never changed despite living over 50 years in Scotland. I'm like your daughter, I can change my accent in order to quickly make myself understood or if I need to talk posh on the telephone. I say I'm an adaptable chameleon, she says I'm a phony. I reply she's a died in the wool Ena Sharples. I'm not telling anybody what she replies in return.lol. She's quick to hand the phone to me though when she can't understand a thick accent on the telephone and she pleads for help if shes approached in a foreign ountry when we're on holiday. No matter how many t
  11. You're right I've noticed that. You can detect second or third generation Asians or blacks on the telephone. One of my kids who was brought up in Scotland to northern English parents was sometimes asked if he was English because of our influence. But the other speaks 100% jock. So I guess I'm contradicting myself to a certain extent.
  12. I think,vegan I think veganism is more hard-core than vegetarianism. Its like a strict religion with them. I don't eat pork because I can handle the way they are factory farmed, but I don't make a song and dance about it. I had a quiche at a friend's house recently which I belatedly discovered contained pork. But I just left the rest of it and said I was full.. I didn't say anything or berate them or make myself sick. Sometimes veganism is like I'm holier than you.
  13. The first thing I notice about people is their accent. It gives you lots of clues about them. I remember years ago I did a night class and the teacher said that accents developed because of geographical barriers between people, so a mountain or a piece of water isolated whole communities and accents developed because isolated communities were not exposed to different ways of pronouncing words. I'm sure there's something in that, but it can't be the whole explanation. Kids these days hear accents from all over the country and beyond, and yes they pick up a certain amount of Americane
  14. I have some relations who are vegans. I try to respect their lifestyle and I keep my big mouth shut , but in truth THEY LOOK ILL! Both look wizened and pale and complain of various ailments. I want to say ffs eat a varied diet but it would just lead to ill feeling. Trust me. Meanwhile they get more and more diminished and bollock me for killing animals and fish. The irony is they feed their Frenchie raw on the basis that kibble gives their deformed little monster skin conditions. Aagh!
  15. Isn't he out on licence for gouging a blokes eye out? Maybe he'll be recalled to prison when he flies back. He'll probably cry for forgiveness to the judge like he did when he was first put away. Better still the Saudis might cut his head off. It could be put on ppv. It would sell out.
  16. When I am fuhrer, JF is top of the list. Low grade defective, embarrassment,clown, oxygen thief....he will eliminated. Not necessarily painlessly. He's achieved what he wanted ......which is a bit of attention.
  17. Lots of people from Corby in Northamptonshire speak with a Scottish accent. Lots of jocks migrated there to work in the steelworks. No doubt the steelworks have gone but the accent remains. I've lived in Scotland nearly 50 years. I'll say one thing about them. They are very forthright,honest people. You know what they are thinking ,they tell you! The religious divide is pain in the ass. When I first moved here I had a dust up with a bloke who didn't like my English ness or my former religion. DECADES later he attacked an 18 year old relation of mine. He still held a grudge. Go
  18. Or "Oi, Manuel two beers!" "Canya?" "Nah, behave ya c**t,pinto,pinto pinto! For fucks sake." I actually overheard that exchange once. Lol.
  19. Leon from the comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm ìs the master of swearing "What the f****n fucks up motherfuck?" The Greeks can be having a perfectly normal conversation and sound like they are going to kick off any second. We were in a crowded taverna in Greece and the din of people shouting at each other was f****n industrial. Just for a joke and an experiment. I started ranting and swearing at the top of my voice, stood up, banged the table with my fist and sat down. I swear nobody took the slightest notice.
  20. That was a perfect lesson in diplomacy. Look and learn son.
  21. I don't think he wanted a tip. He was just trying to extort money out of me. Could have turned nasty, luckily it didn't. Is your old man Scottish?
  22. No I managed to make myself understood when I figured out we weren't going to airport. I gave up on the Spanish and flapped my arms like wings. Si comprende he said. When all else fails...mime like f**k.
  23. We had a holiday in London about 15 years ago. The Mrs is into street photography and wanted to go to Brixton Market to take photos of people about their daily business. I wasn't comfortable as soon as I got off the tube and I insisted on taking her camera off her neck as she was an obvious target for a run by thief. She wanted to go into a Jamaican cafe and we sat outside and had jerk chicken and a Caribbean soft drink. The rasta guys were happy to have their photos taken as long as no illegal activity was on film. There was a bit of dealing going on. I went to pay the bil
  24. I hailed a taxi in Madrid and told the driver in Spanish we wanted to go to the airport. He understood and with a 'si senor' he sped off. I sat back smugly, thinking I was an international jet setter. Unfortunately he misunderstood my lousy Spanish and took us to the 'puerto' (port) and not the 'aeropuerto' (airport). Doh!
