  1. It's alot easier to deal with Bellew's antics when he gets the job done in 3 rounds than one of his 12-round 'masterclasses'. Flores was actually doing better than I expected until Bellew smashed him in the bollocks. Joe Murray's fight in Denmark last night is well worth a watch. http://youtu.be/u36d6huM134
  2. Good shout (again) Maggie. Very enjoyable fight, glad Linares got it as very much deserved. Maybe shows how good Kev Mitchell was going off the fight last year...
  3. Did my usual act of waking up on the sofa just after it finishes after trying to power through after an awayday. Watched it all though, brave effort but very one-sided - wouldn't have given Smith a round.
  4. Can't remember the last time I took such an instant dislike to a player as Sammi Ameobi.
  5. Wasn't too bad...15 mins delayed coming up. West ham everywhere
  6. Predictable outcome but still great to watch while it lasted. Chuffed I've seen GGG live. Amazing atmosphere...booing was a bit daft although there were less idiots there than you might expect for a fight like that. What did people think of Hall-Haskins? Was too hammered to score it but cards seemed very off. Never liked Haskins
  7. What I find interesting about the debate is that grammar schools benefiting middle-class kids is a 'bad thing' - why? Surely the main advantage of grammar schools is that it helps people of ALL backgrounds enjoy something approaching the opportunities/push that people get from attending top public schools....and we don't end up with the likes of Blair, Cameron, Osbourne, Clegg et al dominating the country. The narrative focusing on kids that get free school meals seems to imply that anyone else doesn't need any assistance. Did enjoy Chukka Umunna get in a flap on the Daily Politics earlier in the week when a pro-grammar school chap brought up his public school background in reference to his opposition to grammars. Hope that smug cunt knocks on my door one day...think Labour should watch themselves with their OTT opposition to this - the current law is very silly to ban new grammar schools while there are still loads in existence, and they are popular where they still exist.
  8. Don't you think I have better things to do than tour such establishments? (Never been, I think so...)
  9. It is rowdy in there. Was in the area a couple of weeks ago and noticed the White Horse just down from there has gone now.
  10. Wharf - not great for boozing...few outside Parlour/Canteen on a sunny day after work is ok, as is the bar in the aforementioned Big Easy & Dr Krugers for cocktails. The Gun & Goodmans decent shouts for food, plus a good Wahaca at the other end of the scale with a nice bar upstairs. Never eaten in Boisdale but the Cigar Library & Terrace is pretty impressive.
  11. Queen of Hoxton, super hipster?! Surely Shoreditch isn't really hipster anymore, more foreign iBank types living in converted warehouses plus Essex Oiks and City workers strolling up from Liverpool St. Saying that, other than a couple of sorties to the Crown & Shuttle, Hoxton Grill and Callooh Calay I've barely set foot in the place recently. Not many beards in such places Surprisingly I'd rate Pizza East over Princess of Shoredtich for Sunday dinner although it is 20 quid for the privilege. Keep rolling up the A10 for top Vietnamese food and progressively naughtier drinking spots. And seeing as this is WW, an honourable mention to Rainbow Sports Bar - best for err, sports...
  12. Done yesterday (not the shade bit). Almost spoilt by a sighting of a Blackburn shirt.
  13. J pointed him out in merry widows after derby 2 seasons ago. Keep up
  14. wonder if the bottle of rose he was brandishing on Kingston Rd post-match got finished off
  15. Vauxhall is a great choice for men wanting to meet up alright
  16. Nonsense, it was the racist Met unlawfully disrupting a friendly gathering of promising footballers and budding architects having a jolly good water fight at the end of term.
  17. Reckon the fight might be off...loads of tickets left and there's been a few whispers. Few stories like this out a out Tyson.
  18. Only seen Emery and Aly & Fila that I recall before so should be an interesting night with plenty of older stuff. A lot of people I know have sold their Saturday tickets to do the Friday instead, which is Eddie Halliwell instead of Gareth Emery and a full Hard House room with Lisa Lashes, etc.... Wonder if I'll make it to the afterparty...
  19. Been a while... This on Saturday...anyone got any recommendations on who to catch? Above & Beyond @ SW4 August Bank Holiday also lined up. Saw Kyau & Albert for the first time at MOS a few weeks back, highly recommended.
  20. As long as he keeps that camera away on some of the long journeys back...!
