  1. That sofa saga is like a photo art project Uttoxram and we got to see it for free.  

    Around here littering is a problem, but what's even worse is the graffiti.  The east end of our apartment house is covered with it and as soon as it's painted over it's back again in ever increasing vulgarity.  The residents voted to place a camera 4 meters high on the wall.  It lasted three days and then the little ******** stole it and the recording showed no evidence of anything, just cut out suddenly. 

  2. ​Have you tried Gogol Bordello or Mad Juana? If EBJC works, you should give them a try. Neither has proper singer but attitude is spot on.

    And Wonderlust King is great earworm!

    ​Hey thanks Dimmu, that's good stuff.  i like Gogol Bordello, something about the singer reminds me of Dadan from the movie Black Cat White Cat.  The song not a crime is a blast.  Mad Juana is fun as well, Valhalla got me moving for sure.This is a little bit different, but after what you offered me i think you might just like it, if you're not a fan already that is.

    Not for the easily offended i might add.

     

     

     

  3. ​So he's too good a boxer to be considered great, in a round about way. 

    I'm irked because I think you've let your personal opinion of Mayweather cloud your judgement of him as a boxer.

    ​In a straight forward way, no he is not.  Seems to me that you were irked because i have a different opinion to yours regarding Mayweather.  Boxing is like football in that opinions vary greatly and that's one of the more interesting aspects to it IMO.My personal opinion of Mayweather is based only on how he boxes.  He does what he does very well and skillfully if you like, but a great fighter he is not.  Don't let it irk you, it's just my opinion, how you see it doesn't bother me in the slightest.

  4. warriors are generally the ones that don't have the level of skill or ability and need to dig deeper to win. Mayweather doesn't need a warriors heart. Well, he doesn't need to show it.

    For what's it's worth, I wanted Pac to win.

    ​Yes i know it's rare when these things go together and that's why they are considered greats.  Chris Eubank for instance is IMO a good example of when it all comes together in one great fighter.  Ali, Leonard and a few others had this as well.  Yeah, i'm a bit sore over how the fight went, my wife being a Filipina and all, that and how the season ended for us has left my nerves raw.  Thanks for commenting.

  5. ​What in goodness name is anti boxing? More punches thrown, more punches landed.

    Skill? Are you saying Mayweather isn't extremely skilled

    Class? Mayweather post fight interview oozed class, Pacquiao's didn't

    A warriors heart? What does that even mean? I doubt you could win 48 fights without having a 'warriors heart'

     

    ​Anti boxing is a term i made up and refers to a theory i made up, it's mine, i own it and what it is too.  The theory is as follows, the next thing i am about to write is my theory.  Ready?  Here it is, the theory by ramit, that's mister to you, all boxers are thin at one end, much much thicker in the middle and then thin again at the far end, rather than thick all over.

    You're a funny guy, i'll give you that.  You ask what a warriors heart is and then go on to state that Mayweather surely has one.  We differ in opinion as to what constitutes class and that's fine.   Yes Mayweather has skill at defense, i did admit that and you are fully aware of it, but you just want to have a tussle don't ya?  The point i attempted to make albeit clumsily is that you need all three of those attributes to be counted as one of the greats of boxing.  It may irk you to know that i am not alone with this opinion and that's entirely your problem.

     

     

  6. What i saw last night was not boxing, it was anti boxing.  In the hearts and minds of millions of boxing fans

    Mayweather will never be considered one of the greats, for that takes skill, class and a warriors heart.

    i like the Chelsea mention and agree, but an equally good one is the Greek team that became European champs,

    they will never be considered one of the greatest teams that Europe has produced.  That was anti football.

  7. Defensively Floyd is very good, but offered nothing offensively.

    A frustrating bout where one came to fight and the other to duck and scamper.

    Manny would have to have taken more chances to take the fight to Floyd.

    A tactical win, but pretty it was not
