Binge-watched Tiger King yesterday. No issue with 'recreationals' but being a meth head really ain't a good look. Anyway, feel like I need counselling now. Maddest docu ever.

For anyone who doesn't have it, Skype for desktop and mobile can be downloaded at the following link. In truth, it's not a brilliant app but it's free, easy to install and set up and straightforward to use. It won't steal your banking data either!

Btw I bet he wouldn't be suspended if boxing wasn't suspended. That just the board trying to look good.
Hadn't thought of that. You might have a point.

Comes in work sometimes,that’s my only comment.
Actually comes across as a sound lad in interviews I've seen, but this was plain daft! I very much doubt it was meant as anything other than a joke it's just not something you post to social media.
They've revoked his license in any case so doubtless a lesson learned.

???? yes. I've been over here so long now sometimes I translate words literally. I actually changed it to dubbed and then changed it back again. I thought it didn't sound right but stuck with it.
Ah, thought that might be it! ?

The Spanish doubling is excellent. I suppose it's because they've had years doing it. Some of the doubling actors are actually better than the person they're doing. They always put a voice that matches the physical aspects of the actor, so Sylvester Stallone has the body plus a rugged manly voice without any speech impediment ?. From what I remember of doubled films back home they were unwatchable.
Do you mean 'dubbed' buddy? Confused...

Had you down as a night worker tbf. Insomnia must be horrible.
I'm ok with it to be fair, as I've always struggled to sleep. It's way worse for folk who have never struggled with their sleep or just get occasional bouts of it. Also I have real flexibility in terms of how I work, what hours and when. If I had to work shift for instance, I'd be bang in trouble. I think for folk who are not used to it, it's pretty grim whatever their circumstances.

Stay strong everybody, as best you can. I've had peaks and crests before now but mostly I'm in a good space and for that I'm grateful but for those who were already dealing with stuff before the Covid outbreak, this must be a really hard time so I hope nobody is feeling too down and would urge anyone feeling low to reach out - post on here, talk to your doctor, phone a friend. Suffering in silence just exacerbates stuff, it's absolutely the worst option so don't to it to yourself.
A couple of folk on here have mentioned having trouble sleeping. I've been an insomniac all my life. The eagle-eyed among you may have noticed I post at some ungodly hours on here. The obvious stuff aside, I've found a few simple things that can help me as I sleepers just aren't a solution for me. The first thing is not to fight it. Get up, drink some herbal tea, go for a slow walk, take a shower, all of these things seem to prepare me better to sleep than watching TV or worse still, get frustrated and angry which used to be par the for the course with me. Exercise, meditation and just concentrating on your breathing can all be helpful too and IMO are better options than risking pharma dependencies. Read if you must, but also avoid using Kindles and tablet PCs. Don't snack - weirdly, snacking helps me but for most folk it does the opposite. The last thing I can think of tight now is that there are also some recordings that some find soothing that can help - soft rain, waterfalls, etc. Google is your friend on these. I know a lot of folk who swear by them so worth a try perhaps.

Piece on Sky with Usyk discussing Chisora fight and his hopes to get fights with Fury AND Joshua. Gotta love his ambition but while I fancy him to beat Chisora, he'd do well not to take him too lightly. I think this is more of an acid test for Usyk after which we'll know a deal more about his ability to handle these big lads. Can he step up? My gut says yes based on skill set but the physicality thing is still a question for me so I'd not be taking short odds about it. Chisora is nothing if not durable and while Usyk is an altogether more proficient boxer, he'll have his hands full early on at very least.

Yeah I think Canelo was very very relieved to get the draw the first time. Second time i thought he won by 2 or 3 rounds and I think he's got the measure of GGG now.
I want to see Loma v Gervonta Davis. Love to see Davis get toyed with.
Agreed. Had GGG winning the 1st fight myself but Canelo is a hot property. Hmmm. I see there might be a 3rd instalment too.
As for Davis, let's be honest, he really needs a hiding and Loma seems just the right guy to give the horrible little scrote a bit of a schooling.

It's his chin and power that does it.
I'd rather watch Loma but I think Canelo's chin and power carry through the weights better. But he's had what? 50 fights to prove himself. I expect by fight 30 that Lomachenko will have either been "found out" or have nobody left to fight.
Amazing fighters.
Ok, I'll let you off then ?
Being serious for a min, I've never seen anyone fight like Loma and whilst he's not had that many fights as a pro he was 396-1 in his amateur career.
I am a bit biased though as the Canelo Triple-G fight still sticks in my craw. The former has always seemed a tad 'suspect' to me too.

Couldn't get on with Hunters. Lost me after a couple of episodes. Altered Carbon I kinda liked. Will check out S02. Westworld I'm not sure about. Loved the first series but it lost me in series 2 of which I only ended up watching 3 or 4 episodes.
Just finished up Suburra - Blood on Rome series 1 and 2. Decent without ever threatening to reach Gomorrah levels of brilliance.

Emiliano Sala crash: Pilot Ibbotson 'not licensed for flight'
Just read the BBC article. Had a feeling this would be the upshot. It's an absolute disgrace. The lad was worried about the state of the plane before he even got onboard so I do wonder what the urgency was that meant he had to fly that night. If only he'd trusted his instincts and said, 'duck this, I'm not flying in that thing' and insisted they put him on a flight the next day with a proper operator.
A final thought would be that Cardiff are an absolute dog of a club. Really feel for Emi's family and friends as this could clearly have been easily avoided.

A bit like the phone in on Monday night. When we 've been hammered people queue up to give an opinion and when we've been good nobody calls the show. My grandad used to say happy people dont have much to say.
I'm just making mischief but as they say, 'many a true word...' ?

Where is Eddie, hope he is ok.
Where can I watch Gomorrah currently?
Yeah I do too. I think there's a few on here who know him outside of the forum.
As for Gomorrah, quick Google spat out this...
Currently you are able to watch "Gomorrah" streaming on Sky Go, Now TV or buy it as download on Apple iTunes, Amazon Video, Rakuten TV, Talk Talk TV, Sky Store, Google Play Movies.
There are various torrent sites obviously as well as free streaming sites. If you're not familiar with them just PM me.

All the episodes of Series 4 lined up in the planner and ready to watch. The other 3 series were superb - great locations, brilliant acting.
Ha, that's dangerous. You'll end up pulling an all nighter ?
And yes, it's a great show, deffo in my top 10 ever. It's relentless without ever seeming forced or gratuitous. I'm going to have a look at what else the creators and directors have done too.

Try as I may to be inclusive and non-judgemental, anyone who I have recommended it to who says..
A) I don't like the subtitles
B) I couldn't get into it...
I can't really respect ever again.
Its definitely the coolest, and possibly the most engrossing series ever for me.
.
Gave this a laughing emoji as your honesty made me chuckle. I think the same way. Refusing to try films because of subtitles is something I can't get my head around. After a few minutes you're not even aware you're reading them and when you've got 50 odd hours to watch, you find yourself picking up the language anyway.

Ah apologies if this one is a regular feature. I'm not surprised really! I defy anyone not to like it.
On a separate note, I miss Eddie!

With the weather being so crappy for the foreseeable I thought I might drown myself sorrows in comfort food and god liquor this weekend and to the that end I'm going to revisit a show called Gomorrah. It's an Italian show about the fluctuating fortunes of Naples' foremost crime syndicate and it's utterly brilliant.

They look way better than the shop-bought equivalents mate. Doubt you sand-blasted and reconstituted the chicken either which is always a good start.
