[Anyone been out? What’s everyone shooting]

It was a lot easier when you just had theraband gold

[Anyone been out? What’s everyone shooting]

I've got a roll of .8 red shot and I think it's shite, heavy draw, inaccurate and not very fast! Not a patch on snipersling imo. Used to like the old milky white 1mm  gzk cut 30/20 on a ppmg years ago.

[cocking arm]

Pretty sure the 95 and 98 are the same gun, just different stocks. I've had 3 95s and a 99, the 99 had a galling problem, never had that with any 95s. Look on Chambers gunspares, the schematics should be there.

Been listening too the Boxing life stories podcasts by Tris Dixon, some of them are superb. Didn't realise that Billy Graham's brother was Joe who used to put out the old Pit Bull News, car killed him when he was walking his dog. The episode on Robin Reid is very good

Probably the best I've seen.The young lad got him from the dogs home he worked in as a stray when he was about 3 or 4 years old.Kept him indoors with cats and multiple other dogs.Dog was 100%stable round people and strange dogs and could switch on and back off in an instant when asked to.Took to everything that he was shown like a duck to water.Even after the lads mum accidentally let the dog out one day and he got picked up by the old bill and the lad had to agree to have his bollocks chopped he still went on to win top honours in pretty much every working trial event put on in this country.Ive often wondered what the dog could have done in the hands of a top trainer

Looks like a big Reid bred dog, belter.

Supposedly Jones is in trouble with the law again, f****d off after a car accident.

Warrior, supposedly written by Bruce Lee about Tong's in San Francisco. Very good.

Tuxedo thats right....Manny was an unusual chap in many ways,one of which is a bit too crude to go into ......last i heard he was running one of the amateur clubs up there Birtley was it or Rye Hill maybe i cant remember,although that must of been 20 years ago now so maybe moved on since then....i was sad to hear of the passing of Ronnie Rowe back during Covid,lovely fella and a legendary boxing figure up that way i might be wrong but think he might have received an MBE at some point.....shame anyway he was a good person,RIP.

Yeah I heard he had 3 legs Ronnie Rowe was at Birtley, the gym had some trouble there recently and the coach got jail. No idea if Manny is still at Rye Hill or if it's still going.

Blimey,Manny Burgo theres a name from the past,cracking character.....Garside was a Scouser was he not,or am i getting him confused with Noel Quarless.....Stewart Lithgo,Georgie Scott a few others,Mcrory obviously.....i remember 3 or 4 of us London lads used to go up there for sparring and 3 or 4 of them would come down here once in a while....whenever we was up there we'd end up in a club i forget the name of it now it was a  big boat underneath the Tyne Bridge,you'd probably know the name of it ?....late 80's that would have been.....we all used to stick with Paul Lister as he was a big good looking proper fanny magnet so we all stood half a chance ....funny days,but yes the North East was a hotbed for domestic heavyweight talent back then.

Tuxedo Princess was the boat Remember Lister working on the door in Newcastle too. Dave Garside was Hartlepool way I think. Him and Manny had bigger reputations out of the ring. Long time ago .

Not really mate no Fisher just has a bigger following and big promotional outfit behind him.....infact Adam beat some good names of the day my ol mucker Paul Lister he also beat John Westgarth,they were both better fighters in their day than Dave Allen.

My thoughts too, remember Lister and Westgarth along with Garside and Burgo all around the same time here in the North East

Exactly....theres a knee jerk reaction amongst British trainers to " lay foundations " in power punchers,in order to make them more rounded,instead of gambling on what they already have.....i always thought Mike Tyson was overrated but i do think his early trainers D'Amato and Kevin Rooney got absolutely every last drop out of his potential and they did it by utilising the natural talent he walked into the gym with.

With no real amateur schooling a fighters career is too short to take him right back to absolute basics,just use the tools he has......with a lad like Fisher you just have to put all your eggs in one basket in my opinion.

You think Fisher is any better than Adam Fogerty was? Similar background and record.

Not ice baths but cold showers, seems to give you a bit of a buzz, wake's you up for sure. Obviously the shower is colder in the winter so it's not a set temperature thing.

Yes, if they didn't they would be trying to eat the rats not feed the fuckers!

Class that!

[Rats/hens]

The local swan feeding nuts started putting food down for the rats specifically and posting photos on Facebook of how cute they were! Mostly mental f***ing women, some of the photos looked like the Indian rat temple the amount crowded round bowls. Council put up signs in the end which stopped the nutter's feeding rats but the arseholes are still chucking stuff all over for bird's.
