  1. I've always loved frogs and newts. Wherever I've been living in the country, I don't think I've ever not paid a visit to a likely looking pond come springtime to check out the local population. I've given over my garden to wildlife and have built two wildlife ponds. There's been a gale here all day. Good conditions for amphibians. So as soon as it got dark, I had a wander in the garden. I counted 19 frogs in both ponds. But I came across this pair on dry land.Some males lie in wait for females outside the pond so they have first grab at returning females. This wee guy was successful
  2. I can't understand how an athlete can let himself balloon up like that. Yes a stone at most for a heavyweight between fights, but he was obese. Getting down to fighting weight would weaken him. Amateur!

    How are you enjoying the food?
  4. Stoppage in second round. Bakole a black Butterbean, not fit to continue. Not fit to fight.
  5. Put the bastewards back in their box. Get in!
  6. Time those rebellious Scots were punished.
  7. Reported for refusing medication. You know you go Bat shit crazy when you don't take your pills. Chasing innocent binmen, putting to sleep the moderately elderly and now frothing at the mouth for nuclear war. Ffs medicate.
  8. Teddy Atlas didn't let Tyson off. He held a loaded gun to his head after Tyson had fiddled with an underage relation of Atlas. I'm not knocking Cus . He was a brilliant trainer.
  9. Yep. But I don't buy the myth that he took underprivileged kids under his wing for their own sakes. Both parties profited. I think Teddy Atlas was part of his stable too. He talks a lot of sense.
  10. It's obvious. They both exploited people when they got a chance.
  11. I think he's another 'dad's creation'. Kids who are forced? Into pursuing their dads' dreams. His old man made him do press ups for hours at 7 years old. He reared him to become a world champion. Fury was another to a certain extent. There's a lot of it in sport: the Williams sisters, Thierry Henry, Tiger Woods all reared to fulfil fathers' ambitions. When it works, it works well, but I can't help feeling they miss out on being their own bosses. In the end it's not good mentally. But when you're a multi millionaire maybe you can put up with it.
  12. Do you still have your kelpie cross? If so, how's it doing?
  13. Just been watching clips of Bakole. He's a beast. It will the fight of Bakole's lifetime. A hard and awkward night for Parker. But with no Usyk carrot if he wins. Rather him than me.

    Are you going out there to compete mate?
  15. Provocative NATO expansion is given as the reason as Putin invaded Ukraine. Trump now appears to back Vlad. But the supreme allied commander of NATO is always an American. So isn't Trump criticising his own country's past actions? It's best not to take Trump's statements too seriously. He's thrown a firwork into the situation to confuse and keep everybody guessing. But there will be hundreds of serious minded officials brokering a deal behind the scenes. Nothing to get excited about imo.
  16. The ironic thing is I've picked up a scots twang over the years. So I'm called a scotch c**t by my English 'friends' when I cross the border. When I correct them and explain they should call me a Scots c**t and not a scotch c**t because the latter refers to whisky or to scottish produce, they still call me a scotch c**t for trying to educate them. What can you do?
  17. No you're wrong bud, it was my best mates and my kids.
  18. I've lived in Scotland over 50 years and often been called an English b*****d. Catholic b*****d too. But, to be fair, I am a bit of a c**t. So fair play.
  19. That's the thing, the game now brings " a shit load of grief". Not worth it for old timers any more. Not me anyway.
  20. No, you go far. I'll,stay at home with me little whippet and type furiously on my tablet.
  21. Oops, didn't know that. In that case they can join the 285000 Hong Chinese in Britain. The future is yellow.
  22. I think if I was Taiwanese, I'd be on a dingy to the UK. Because Trump,won't give two fucks if China invades Tawain.
  23. Wasn't there a suspicion that Vlad had a video of The Don f***ing russian whores and pissing on the bed that Obama has slept in? But it must be something much more damning, because the American electorate wouldn't care about such footage. They would just think" f**k yeah,that's the Don. America! I'm so proud." Is Trump another appeaser like Chamberlain? Apparently, but he's also a determined mugger of Ukraine's resources. And determined to protect his and Musks interests in Russia. UK beware, no more defence handouts from uncle Sam. We are on our own. The old cold war was a ma

    State of the art, newly built. Somebody on the management has got some common sense.

    Swimming

    On a brighter note, I passed the swimming pool in Carlisle yesterday and noticed a sign saying kids can swim for ten pence after 1 pm. It really took me aback. Some positive, progressive thinking for once.
