The trouble with watching Boxing in Britain!!!

Is that you can't get to watch a big fight at a civilised hour......

Used to watching greats like Tyson, Holyfield, Hagler, Hearns, Curry at eight o'clock at night!!!!! Not big fights in the early hours of the morning..

Can't you move this Island closer to the States.......and enter a better time zone...Who Knows our sporting prowess may rub off on you too...

Anyhow c'mon David...do the business!! Boxing needs you.

Mayweather vs Hatton still did over a million PPV buys TRUSS in the early hours of UK time

Let's hope so, Truss.

Would love to see Britain produce a few fat boy, clueless heavyweights.

Need my sleep more these days......

Don't call me fat boy....

Trouble with watching boxing in Britain is the influx of overseas lard buckets and gobsh!tes telling us how much better it would be if their countrymen were involved.

Sadly, even with the advances in medical science, none of us will be alive long enough to witness the dawning of a new American HW talent. More chance of seeing Haley's Comet again.

As for quality HW action at a civilised hour, there's always Chisora v Fury on the 23rd July.

Look what the cat has dragged in!!!

Better still chop the island up and stick the Welsh bit next to Hawaii

It's only envy, Truss. It's just that :

Oh, oobee doo,
I wanna be like you:
I wanna walk like you,
Talk like you, mmm ya hah!
And they say it's true:
A man like me
Can learn to be like someone like you!

Give people like Hopkins, Zeta and Burton less far to travel too

You forgot Christian Bale. Damn do we have to give you Yanks all the good actors???

That guy is a PSYCHO....You can have him back..

So on the eve of the biggest Heavyweight fight for (and this is a technical term) ages being on at about 10pm, you're complaining about having to stay up to see fights Truss?

You must be getting old mate.

On later than that isn't it..??

If US tv have bought it I should think they'd have to comply to a certain American time!!!

If it's a heavyweight fight the ' American time ' would be about fifteen years ago.

I doubt it Truss. Those Germans dont give a slightly different word from the one which Windy has just been forced to edit out because everybody thinks it's wonderful fun to try to beat the swear filter even though Windy has asked, nay pleaded, that people should stop wasting his time by so doing, for no one...

Gave a one in 1942 though 8)

Cracking idea. How long until that volcano blows up again?

Only joking Steffan.

Will Andy Murray be British or Scottish in tommorows papers thats the real question...

Nadal is a great player so my money is on Scottish

Many a true word spoken in jest.. 8)

More importantly, will anybody who doesn't have a nationalist agenda give a rat's backside, either way ?

No offense taken. We are in need of some more natural resources as it goes...

Always preferable to unnatural resources.

Good point. Its only a laugh anyway Windy. Its mainly a dig at the papers. I hope Murray wins. You gotta favour Nadal I think though

Re. my last post.

Nice to see the 'quote' button works flawlessly everytime.

5.00 - 5.30 pm Eastern Seaboard Time. That ought to be late enough for you to have had your afternoon nap, a couple of rusks then settle down with your comforter.

This is a European event. US tv are only showing it to prove that there isn't an American fit to step into the ring with either of them (except for Manny Steward).

I will use the word 'flying' next time ok Windy

You, Sire, are a gentleman. Thank you.

That's putting it politely. He's not even that great an actor.

Im not sticking up for him purely because he was born in Wales but I kinda think winning an Oscar suggests otherwise...

Sandra Bullock won one...Bale is over-rated.

BALTIMORA wrote:Sandra Bullock won one...Bale is over-rated.

Possibly. Either way he always gets to do the best films nowadays

Reign of Fire was awful. The Fighter wasn't as good as the hype. Don't get me started on Batman. Machinist was OK. Terminator 4 made T3 the second worst one in the series... American Psycho's about the best thing he's done.

A Welshman doing an American psycho, eh ?

Why do I feel a Calzaghe joke coming along ?

Windy we're not going there, remember?

Besides, Calzone was born in England...

My lips are sealed, BALTI.

I'm getting sick of people hijacking my thread with talk about Christian Bale!!!

Overrated punk, terrible attitude..and I quite liked Batman Returns...

Hey, on this green and sceptred isle we're one people under the crown, no..?

His Batman voice got on my teats to be honest.

I could say that being as Calzone??? was born in England but wants to be Welsh, and that Matthew Macklin was born in England but wants to be Irish suggests that no one wants to be English

But I promised Windy I wouldnt so I wont...

I said to Bale once whats the difference between you and me. He replied

(60 cigarettes a day voice) "Im not wearing hockey pants"

Took my Wife to see American Psycho.....

The look on her face when he has the threesome and gets the chainsaw out....was priceless!!!

It's as if they don't do that sort of thing regularly in the leafy suburbs!!!

Say it if you like Stethan, I'm not fiercely defensive of my nationality like some people are.

The chainsaw scene was stupidly Hollywood. In the book he kills her, starves a rat, gets a tube and puts it...well I think you get the jist. Book was far more screwed up (hence I enjoyed it)

I can imagine...

Anyway I never take my dates to the cinema anymore. You dont get chance to get to know each other and you normally end up watching some film that you didnt want to watch and your paying for her as well

I take my dates to Nandos (which is probably why my luck is out )

I just take my dates by surprise...

BALTIMORA wrote:I just take my dates by surprise...

I normally just chuck a rhoopy in their drink...

"Excuse me, but is that your earring on the floor?"

"Where?" *looks down*

*thwack*

You mean you haven't tried the ----- through the bottom of the popcorn box trick..

tut tut I knew Brits were slow learners!!

BALTIMORA wrote:"Excuse me, but is that your earring on the floor?"

Its a classic tactic. The other is to go for a pee, put the rhoopy in your mouth (whatever you do dont swallow it by accident), come back, drink some of hers by "mistake" (while spitting the rhoppy in) give her drink back and jobs a good one
