Retired from wrestling rather than retired altogether. I'm guessing Ulf is only in his late 40s/early 50s, and he sure has hell can't have retired on his FWA payoffs. 

The NFL is full of wonderful names. Captain Munnerlyn, Barkevious Mingo,  and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix are current favourites. Barkevious Mingo sounds like someone out of Harry Potter, and he also has a brother called Hughtavious Mingo. They like a drink in the Mingo household when they are picking out baby names 

I used to work for a couple whose surname was Hunter who named their 2 girls Ocean and Spirit. Ocean Hunter sounds like a pirate ship and Spirit Hunter sounds like a TV show that Derek Acorah would be involved with. 

Ok this thread is getting deep into my subconscious mind. Just driving along in the car and Let It Be comes on the radio.

Let's just say, speaking words of wisdom, chippy tea. 

The only problem is @air_raid that really close to Broxbourne Civic Hall is Flames kebab shop. Flames is tremendous and I have called in there on a couple of occasions when I have been down that way for other things than wrestling. 

No goujons obviously. 

Also sells panko squid rings. Do you have to wear a bowler hat and a monocle to order there @Rey_Piste

Any chippy that doesn't serve cod roe is not a chippy. 

The worst thing I've heard recently is Something For Your M.I.N.D. by Superorganism. That is so bad that I'm sure it's a rib. Someone sat in a cafe in Hoxton drinking an artisan hazelnut latte and twirling their moustache like a Victorian workhouse master has thought to himself "What load of old cobblers can I come up with to make Lauren Laverne think this is cool" 

Then he has put on his WWI pilots helmet and goggles and cycled back to his loft apartment on his pennyfarthing before knocking this old toss up on his computer in 25 minutes, set up a Twitter account claiming it was produced by collaboration on the internet by like minded people and sat back laughing to himself while hipsters like him have taken the shitball and run with it. 

Just the dirt worst.

I had forgotten the Audley fight as well, not much to remember to be fair. The best thing that happened was the ref saved Audley from certain injury 

I might have asked this before but who is considered the best name on Wilder's record? Chris Arreola, Bermane Stiverne, Audley?

"Undisputed Area"

Isn't that what Randy Orton calls his penis. 

If you look back through this thread you will see a long history of incorrect predictions. That does not stop me though, so here goes. I think that Wilder v Fury will be the heavyweight version of Billy Joe Saunders v David Lemieux. Wilder is a terrible boxer who relies on his extraordinary power to get him out of trouble in fights. I just don't think he will see Fury or land a clean enough shot on him to beat him. 

Expect Fury to be sparked out in 3 rounds obviously. 

I know you can get the spectrum version on android through the Marvin emulator. I don't know about the C64 version though. 

Cricket Master?

As a post script to that game. That lad bowled 2 overs for 67 and his team lost by 67. 

The chippies around here are a bit odd. The closest one to us is called Ye Olde Reindeer for no discernible reason. Doesn't sell reindeer, not even deep fried. The ones in the next villages along in the opposite direction are owned by the same family. I may have mentioned Radwan before so if I'm repeating myself I apologise but he is what they would call A "Character" around here but in environmental health terms he would be called "A reformed character".

Radwan used to own Chez Radwan which was far more low rent than it sounds. If you went out for a night on the town in the 80s/90s in Lincoln the walk down the pedestrianised part of the high street to the taxis always included a slight detour down to Radwan's kebab shop. The kebabs were fucking awful, rank chips, and burgers that an #EatClean specialist would turn there nose up at. You still had to go though, it was almost a rite of passage to see if you could survive the combination of alcohol/food poisoning you were sure to face. You would also lose a few quid in the bandit that flashed enticingly against the wall. The jackpot was always on the verge of paying out but never quite would. I suspect that was the same in all chippies everywhere.  

Having moved out of town he has cleaned up his act, quite literally as it happens. The old Radwans was closed about half a dozen times due to food hygiene breaches. The new Radwan has 2 chippies both with 5 star ratings. The only thing that I don't like is the third kebab meat. The 2 traditional great turning legs of lamb doner and chicken doner have been joined by chicken tikka doner that is an unhealthy looking purplish colour that looks more like your old nan's thrombosis ridden leg than an actual foodstuff.

It's just the Irn Bru I'm a bit meh about (gets destroyed by the Highland regiment of the UKFF).

I will happily stand shoulder to shoulder with you Onyx against the tartan horde.  Irn Bru is rank. I've tried to like it but I just don't.

Is he sure it wasn't Jade Dernbach in disguise?

I know he's dogshit as a bowler but I'm pretty sure Jade isn't blacking up before he bowls. 

So I got a text message from my mate who was umpiring this local league game today. You will see from the picture below that one of the players bowled 2 overs. The 2nd over went for 50 runs! 2 no balls both hit for 6, 10 wides and the remaining runs off the legitimate balls. It's a brave captain that gives him another over when the first one has gone for 17 anyway. Sense prevailed after the 2nd over!

The vegetarian option is always fried in the same oil as the sausages and burgers. One of the chippies near us has only just stopped frying everything in lard. They considered that vegetarian.

What is the idea behind starting a test match on a Saturday? Chances are everyone is going to be at work on the crunch days.

With the way things have gone it will be all over by tomorrow night. I'm supposed to be going Monday, I just hope there is some play left.

One scoop of mash, two chops or the fishfinger equivalent.

Why a Jack Russell? I would have gone for a lovely King Charles Spaniel myself. 

I'm pretty sure that a thread of "Dogs I would bang" is something that the UKFF has moved on from.
