  1. I blame his corner for not either pulling him out earlier, or not throwing in the towel when he sank to one knee.They should have known his state of mind and looked out for him. There's a code in boxing which says you never quit but I would rather see a fighter admitting he's had enough than see him brain damaged, blind or dead. There's no shame in tapping out in UFC, or a rugby player coming off injured. Why should boxing be different?. We've all got quit in us. We shouldn't expect our boxers to be maimed or killed for the sake of macho pride whilst we sit on our arses and applaud.
  2. I remember them being used as nappy driers. Living room used to smell of drying clothes especially nappies. We had a rack on a pulley suspended from the ceiling. Again full of wet kiddies clothing. It was like a sauna....nice though, it was the smell of home.
  3. That is not unlike real life in Scotland. When I first moved up here I got invited to New year party. I was the only catholic( ex catholic) at a party. Things became very very ugly. Celtic v Rangers games are a really tense experience. Adrenalin ,hairs on your neck standing up, eyes bulging, testosterone levels at bursting point. f****n brilliant. A nd I'm 71. Hate the catholic Church now but something deep still makes me a Celtic man.
  4. Hope his dogs perform better than his boxers. Mind you, Dave Redford went the distance with Roberto Duran. ( The ref is a character too. He thinks the more he effs the tougher he sounds.?
  5. If it is true anybody after a pup had better get one now before the price sky rockets..
  6. Hibs are a catholic team from Leith Edinburgh. ( Glasgow Celtic's little brother), Rangers are protestant. Hibs don't win much so beating Rangers 3-2 in a cup final was very special. To add to the atmosphere there had been a pitch invasion and lots of mini punch ups before their celebratory anthem. My Heart is Broken (Sunshine on Leith) is Hibs' theme song
  7. Whats youth in Asia got to do with anything??
  8. You are forgetting the wet dog smears on the paintwork. Could call the smears modern art maybe.
  9. He wouldn't be any good at that. His sales pitch for whites would be top notch,anybody with a dark complexion , well, say no more.
  10. Anybody watch Grand Designs? Really interesting programme.
  11. Have you guys ever employed women? I tendered for and won an office cleaning contract. I had 4 full time and 19 part time women. Absolute nightmare. They were forever complaining about each other, bitching, moaning, creeping to me, some coming on to me.(Not interested) It was a nightmare. At the same time I e mployed 6 full time male window cleaners. No problemo. Apart from the odd no-show. They required no supervision at all. Never again.
  12. Free advice wanted Newkid. My roof has a lot of moss. The roof is about twenty years old. I keep reading conflicting advice about whether it should be removed pronto or leave it...its harmless. Impartial advice appreciated D
  13. I had a spell on the bins when I lived in Stoke. You always knew the miners houses, they got free coal and their bins were full of coal ash. Heavy steel bins full of ash, some of it leaking from a corroded bin bottom straight into your eyes was an occupational hazard.?
  14. Bit anaemic that mate. Get it stoked up you tight fecker.??
  15. How do those sort of temperatures affect you love life charts?
  16. Love an open fire. They always make me chilled. My first memory of one is when I was a kid before I went to school. My mam was breastfeeding my kid sister and I was staring out of the window watching the rain and listening g to the coals falling in the grate. No telly just silence. My old dear sent me to the shop with a list and when I got back I had dropped the ration book. Off I went to find it and when I did and brought it home, my mam gave me a home made scone with jam as a reward. I dried off by the fire and fell asleep. I still go wild camping and used to take my sons when they were
  17. That's what I always say mate. Start a business if you can cos its difficult to make proper money as a worker/ grafter. Too many People getting fat on your work if you are an employee.
  18. There used to be a company that trained you in how to operate plant. They wanted big bucks to train you on a week's course. Lot 0f blokes I knew went on the course and improved their pay big time.
  19. There's a rule . The harder you work the less you get paid. The CEO does f**k all except fool everybody he is so important and gets paid a small fortune. The guy grafting gets paid washers.
  20. Well I had a spell on the bins. Loved it apart from dicks who looked down on you. I've also had a spell on the doors part- time. 21 full of wind and piss. Bunch of traveller lads tried to get in with no membership . I ended up with a thick lip and a chipped tooth. Saw the lad who cracked me a week later and we went round a pub car park as a straightener. Beat f**k out of me fair and square. I gave up the doors after that.? Back to the thread. I'm pissed off with safety rules in abattoirs but think. How did we get foot and mouth? Bloke feeding ham sandwiches to his pigs, got them as throwo
  21. Sad but true tatablisters and Wilf. Very difficult to make any progress here. The mega rich control all the media and they have a dark presence on social media influencing peoples opinions. There's no appetite for it here people have such low self esteem they are f****d before they start. Its difficult to convince people we don't have to have such inequality here. People think its normal to be treated like shit. Tell you what lads if I survive this f****n pandemic and get a jag I'm going to Finland on holiday. I'll report when I get back as honestly as I can. Over and out, not s
  22. By the way pension age is 65 not 67/8 and there are no un iversity fees. But of course its not working lads. Its just not working at all.
