Finally decided to get myself another automatic, Christmas treat so purchased the bronze watch top right in the video - love the idea as its bronze and will weather/change colour whilst I wear it, making it unique one off. You only live once.....

Cisse knows I was only kidding, I wouldn't know an ETA 2892 if you smacked me round the earhole with one. I love watches but it's just about what the dial looks like for me, a bit like cars, like how some look, no interest in what makes it work although I do admire the skill of a good watch/clock maker, mechanics ? meh.

Cisse,

The 2892 is a very good movement, don't listen to them, they just trying to wind you up.....

 

It was the pun, oh I'm wasted on here.....

Yeah Cisse, I'm disappointed in you, a ******' ETA 2892 movement, dear dear.

I think ETA is a good movement which does its job very well. Accurate and easy to service. I do like the artwork of the movements but there is so much more going on in a nice watch. I'm not a big watch snob although I admire good watches and I can be pleased without a in house movement.

That Bell & Ross is 43mm and it's just the limit my wrist can handle if the strap is well made and the watch isn't too high.

Cisse,

My mother in law passed away at the end of June, and I'm finding it incredibly hard to comfort her daughter, my wife.

She's been ok-ish up to now, good days and bad, however now we're nearing the finish of dealing with the estate, and she's lost the focus of dealing with practical matters, she's falling apart, and it's breaking my heart to see her like this, and nothing I can do makes any difference.

She dreams almost nightly of her mums last few days, the sound of the so called 'death rattle', and bursts into tears at the slightest trigger.

There's only so many times I can tell her that she needs time before it becomes a meaningless platitude, but I can't see a way to support her with anything meaningful.

It doesn't help that I'm a cold fish, I try and distract her from things, but lately it's become all consuming.

Does anyone have any practical advice they can offer, any experience of bereavement councilling etc?

Councilling is a must mate. It will never take the pain away put it will make it liveable.

Bamford and Vydra up front would be electric for us, although they would need feeding from midfield, maybe also another player maker in there?

Not too sure how on earth the judges had Brook a head?

Something quiet uneasy about GGG, something menacing behind that smile - his boxing does  remind me of young Tyson..........walks through the punches and hits the body and head of his opponent at will. 

Brook has a damaged eye socket and otherwise seems ok.

Not too sure I will get through my bag of popcorn for this one, might be over by 5?

Brook needs to KO the machine early as the extra pounds he is carrying might cause him to slow and with the machine constant punches added to that.

Paper and head say the machine

But we had a similar fight between the ragamuffin  [Lloyd Honeyghan] and the best pound for pound fighter in the world at that time Don Curry - Honeyghan completely out boxed him and took Curry apart for a major upset.

So anything is possible!

KB will have to fight better than ever before to win this one. 

GGG is a machine, throws constant body shots and has a fantastic KO rate he also cuts off the ring quickly so his opponent has nowhere to go.

Should be a cracker..............

80 bob was my tipple 24p a pint back when I bought my first, - never remember the name of the lass from my first shag...but I remember the name of my first beer!
