    I don’t know. It’s a fight he’s got way less chance of winning and for what will surely be less money. Not sure why it’s more appealing. 

    Eh? What’s this got to do with anything? It’s nothing to do with me being a pro wrestling fan or not. It’s all about two guys who’ve had a grudge for years, who should’ve fought by now, in a fight people are interested in. It’s not some far-fetched fantasy booking dream fight thing like ‘what if Ali fought Tyson’ and that type of nonsense. There’s no reason why Khan vs Brook shouldn’t happen. Other than Khan avoiding it. And while you absolutely can’t ever guarantee a fight delivers in ‘real fighting’, Khan vs Brook is more likely to be competitive and exciting than Crawford vs Khan.

    I maybe should've tagged Ebb Shen in it, because that's who @David was quoting. Although Porkchop seems to be doing the same thing where he's fantasy booking fights for the sake of a story rather than actual competitive matches to see who the better competitor is and go up the rankings. As for Khan he hasn't been relative in the rankings for a long time and he really has become another Naseem Hamed. In so much as he had one big loss and lost all momentum as soon as he got near the top tier fighters. He's much more a name to more casual boxing fans than real die hards and I class myself as a casual fan more than anything at the moment.

    Though a lot of that has to do with over saturation of fights within the sport, too many weight classes and organisations giving out belts. The same thing has happened with UFC over the past 18 months or so since the new owners took over. There's been at least one event a week and too many fights with divisional champions facing cans, so they can have a belt up for grabs on every card.

    What if he loses to Brook? Then there's no Crawford fight, is there? And when you're talking about someone with a chin like Khan there's no guarantees.

    That's one of the problems of talking to wrestling fans about real fighting.They are trying to book dream matches with drama, excitement and ups and downs. professional fighting is unpredictable. You can book 2 guys to fight who should have an amazing bout, but end up with another Shamrock v Severn.

    I know what crab bucket is, but I'm not entirely sure how that relates to anything going on here. Mob mentality may be a played out accusation, but at least it fits. 

    I meant that this shit is bringing everyone down and the guys at the bottom in this case MAB!? Is one of the crabs in the bottom stopping people rising up.

  4. The big thing using a slow cooker is browning the meat before hand, otherwise it ends up a bit grey and unpalatable looking. Once the meat is browned cover it with a light dusting of flour and and out a little stock in with it. This gets the fond, which is the juice that come out of the meat whilst browning back into the stew.and will help with thickening it.

    Maccies current veggie burger inedible so this new one should be an improvement. Hopefully the current one will be removed from the menu.

    I think it's just for happy meals at the minute. I know my veggie friend just orders cheese lettuce tomato and big mac sauce as a burger with chips. Instead of eating their veggie burgers.

    Il be very suprised if Fury Wilder 2 happens next. Fury has no reason to fight him really. He’l have a tick over fight or 2 until Wilder fights Joshua then fight the winner. The fans are down on Joshua at the moment, he needs Wilder or Fury more than they need him. Fury is a smart man, he’l wait. He dont have two gruelling fights on the trot, plus he needs a break. Let them two clowns fight before the King comes and embarrasses the winner.  

    I'm sure Fury would like a rematch actually. His name's a hell of a lot bigger in the States after that bullshit decision and if he wins the rematch then he could do massive numbers with a big Wembley show against Joshua. Then there's the cross promotion where he can get a bigger slice of the purse just for fighting win or lose, never mind the personal pride in trying to get revenge for the loss. You leave it too long people will forget how he should've won it.

  7. That's like me, certain tricks I do better switch than regular, like I can get more pop off a nollie than an ollie. I actually learned to kickflip before i could ollie properly and i find switch heel flips easier than regular ones. I can also land FS 360 flips easier than BS tres because my right leg is stronger than my left. Also fuck the Bruins, GO DEVILS!

  8. Get her a full set of pads including wrist guards and a helmet and let her get on with it. Young kids are fearless and letting her have a couple scrapes isn't going to do her any harm. You standing around panicking instils your fears into her making her nervous. If she likes it then maybe get her something like this in a year or 2. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B078SV3ZFS/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_19NlCbRY4PAGS 

    Hell she might grow up to be like this girl.

    My mate said Greggs were planning on selling a 10p sausage roll. I said it was bollocks but he reckons there'll be brains in there too. 

    The majority of their "meat" is power washed off the carcasses of animals and made into a pulp with added soy protein. I believe all animal brains are off the menu because of CJD and "Mad Cow Disease". I know certain cuts of meat like tomahawk steak or T-bones were restricted for a while because of the same risks during height of the hysteria.

    Surprising the vegan one is the one that doesn't have soya in it!

    Looking at the allergens of Wheat and Barley I expect it's a seitan based filling, rather than soy protein.

  11. I wasn't talking about the stammering itself just the occasions where he leaves in pauses where he has to focus, to control his stammer. It's just a little thing that breaks up the flow of the conversation and has made me think that the playback has paused on the podcast.

  12. Not a knock on the guy, because is really clever and I had a great conversation with him about BJJ and MMA, but when his stutter kicks in some times I do wish it would be edited out. I know he can't help it, but it does lead to awkwardly long pauses sometimes when he has to stop talking to retry words.

    Look at this for a stable. Urijah Faber, Bill Goldberg and a smiling Nick Diaz! Anyone know when and where this was from?

    Ha, my predictive text changed ‘smiling Nick Diaz’ to ‘smoking Nick Diaz’. Phones these days know too much.  

    I don't remember Steve Austin being so orange and I could've sworn he was quite a tall feller and he's being loomed over by Diaz and Faber.

    I used to get it a bit with the alternative thing when I was younger, but it doesn’t really happen anymore now I’m older.

    Also agree that usually cat calls are a misguided attempt at impressing a girl. Really though, it’s about showin off to mates and trying to be funny. Really don’t think anyone can call the story hyperbole, like David’s first reaction it is just unfortunate. She’s alright, just vaguely annoyed. I’m sure she will have numerous other things said to her this week from random men in the street. 

    To clarify, he called her a freak to his mates but very intentionally loud enough for her to hear. 

    I think the freak comment most probably comes from the fact that I can guess she is heavily tattooed, pierced and has an unconventional hair colour. Rather than her buying a vegan sausage roll. I used to get abuse shouted at me when I had long hair, normally some kind of homosexual slur. One of the funniest was someone muttering "fucking goth faggot" towards me, Whilst I was wearing the oh so gothic clothing of a brown Transformers T-shirt, Grey hoodie and blue jeans.

  15. I'm more claiming more of your usual hyperbole, I seriously doubt anyone care what anyone else is buying in Greggs. Unless the person in front has bought the last steak bake. Let alone to get so het up about it to shout the word freak at someone.
