No. I've gone off Marquez, clearly juicing IMO.

Amazing squad

Totally correct. Most kids games you see, you think to yourself 'are 90% of these players even benefiting here?' The ball flies at them once every 5 minutes, they swing and miss, or slice it, or if they are lucky hoof it aimlessly forwards to shouts of encouragement. And the 10% of players who are naturally ahead of the rest dominate the game and score all the goals. They'd be FAR better served up until the age of 10 or 11 or so working on their technique in the time they have to play the game.

Yeah our players succeed despite the system I feel The technically gifted ones were born that way rather than having it coached into them

You help. But don't walk away with the kid. Ask somebody else nearby if they know whose child it is, if they don't, ask them to accompany you to take the little blighter somewhere safe.

Yeah, you do get kind of used to it, so that the panic doesn't immediately overwhelm you when they go out of sight But the intensity of that feeling never goes away, you just learn to cope with it a little better Bloody kids, why do they have to be so daft?

That's a bold claim indeed. Would be amazed if Khan stopped Brook that quickly. On the holding thing, sure, it's part of the game. But one of these days he'll get a ref who doesn't allow it, takes points early, and he'll be up shit creek because he has no other abilities to cope inside. You can 100% guarantee if he gets the Floyd fight the ref will not allow it.

Yeah, it was too early, I thought that straight away. I thought Froch was on his way to the stoppage too, but you've got to let it play out further than that. IMO not enough emphasis is given to the huge knockdown in round one. Gave Groves a massive advantage in the first half of the fight and took Froch ages to recover from. He's unlikely to get that head start this time.

Froch has earned the right to a little more respect from Groves and from the fans - just my opinion. I like Groves, but I hope Froch gets a good, clear win. Hopefully he can act with a bit of class afterwards if he does, but I think the grudge is very real to him, it's just a game to Groves.

Was talking about this the other day, wondering when it was due It's fucking grim

Murray was a shadow of his former self in truth, in fact he was far worse than I imagined, gassed after 4 rounds Still, Crolla deserves respect, he is a late bloomer and is reaping the rewards for dedication If he had a bit of power he'd be a tidy fighter at international level

Think that's generous Murray looks knackered And you're right Crolla stays the 12 well

Crolla in charge now

Got to favour Murray here haven't you, he's a class above in truth Here we go

yeah cant wait who you got? I think Murray is arguably a level above crolla, all told. But timing is everything and crolla is in the groove. Murray is barely active and might now be fighting to squeeze a few more quid out of his career.. but he says hes got the bit between his teeth. Crolla has good ability but often gets drawn in to a battle whch will be right up Murray's street. genuinely cant call it. given the blood sweat and tears (and beatings) you have to put in to this sport its crazy that Murray went so long unbeaten and fought for a world title and was stil digging roads within a year or so. Compared to the money very average footballers earn it is nuts.

Our place is prone to blockages, its bad plumbing because the water has raised up on me after a flush when I've only pissed in it. That moment it starts to rise up is terrifying at first, but it happens so often I'm not phased by it at all now. However if you've just been doing a bit of downloading and it blocks, you CANNOT leave until the coast is totally clear. Poor fucking Bulgarian guy who has to sort it out. What a job. If you go into the trap and the lid is down, you're a brave man to lift it. It's like Russian roulette, with 5 of the 6 chambers loaded. Some of the sights on a Monday morning ... Christ Other issues.. People in neighbouring traps talking on phones. People pissing with doors open due to OCD, not wanting to touch the handles, ive nearly whipped the old boy out and walked right into them before now. The other day someone sat down in the next stall, realised there was no roll, and started complaining to themselves 'this fucking place, fucking useless, sick of it' for about 2 minutes, loud as well.

Hmm, short of jewellery though IMO I'm going with southeast European

Kids are reaching puberty earlier, so this will happen more Of course, in my opinion this case is wrong in many ways, mainly for the baby concerned, but also because the parents can't support it But as others have said the age of consent is just an arbitrary number and it's lower than ours in many countries

I've been to Verona on a day trip while saying in Garda, only an hours drive iirc, easy to park up in the centre of town too. Only a small place. I think a train runs from lake Garda (desenzano or peschiara) to there if you aren't driving. Personally, i Would do the day trip rather than actually stay in Verona, simply because the lake and the views etc are great, I'd rather be waking up and having a stroll around there than in Verona Again though I've not been there at night so can't comment on that side of it There is some huge event in Verona each year in the coliseum, opera i think, suppose if you went to that you'd want to stay the night there

Yeah it's really nice. Very much a tourist magnet, dead busy at peak times. Not been there at night so can't comment on that. It's on the end of a long peninsula / strip of land that jags out into the lake - about 1 km long - so most of the accommodation that calls itself Sirmione is along this strip (a road basically, not the Las Vegas strip!). I'd just be wary that you're not too far away from Sirmione itself - everything is at the end of the peninsula - because a regular 1km walk into the centre in hot Italian weather could be a drag... I'd go to Garda or Bardolino personally and visit Sirmione on the boat a couple of times

All about the foundation I reckon and that's where a lot of the effort is required / can be short-cut I did a section of my garden and my father in law made me 'do it properly' So I dug out 6 inches (3 tonnes) of soil by hand, dropped in a layer of smashed up (by hand) rubble, then sand, whacker plated it level, put on a layer of concrete, then laid the slabs and grouted them methodically so as not to stain the edges with wet cement Was an absolute mission but 3 years have passed and not a hint of a weed or a sinking flag, quick pressure wash each year and it looks brand new

North of the lake can be breezy, they do a lot of windsurfing etc up there garda itself and that side of the lake is best IMO If the op is there 5 days I think incorporating Venice too is a bit of a push, Venice isn't really a day trip from lake Garda iirc. Verona is though

Suppose by the amount you take. Bit too much - accidental, lot too much - suicide. Still guesswork to a point though.

Yeah this. But all these types, you know, I often wonder if they'd rather die (or have their family members die) and have their 15 minutes than pass into obscurity. I really do. The older I've got the more suspicious I've become of famous people. Why the fuck would you want fame? If it comes as a by product of something you do well, I can accept it, to a point. But seeking it for it's own sake... you've got to be fucked up to do that.

A lad at my school could get full boxes like the newsagent had for a couple of quid First time I bought one from him it was like I'd died and gone to heaven
