Yer but they've got a script or flow chart they are given by the organisation they have been instructed to refer to diagnose the issue over the telephone to avoid the unnecessary expense of them having to send an engineer out for someone who genuinely is thick and hasn't realised it's not plugged in.
This shows on the contrary to your point valid signs of intelligence.
If you read the piece again, carefully, you'll see that this was entirely the point I was making.

Not strictly on topic, but...
People are stupid. Anyone who's spent an hour in the company of a person with a 100 IQ is pretty sure to recognise what I mean, when you reflect that half of people are no smarter than that. If you don't get this, well, maybe...never mind.
Anyway, the upshot of people being thick as mince is that society has to cater to the lowest common denominator.
My fridge is broken. It's a big American job which cost a grand, and worth trying to fix, so I go online and get into an chat with a rep from the manufacturer. 'My fridge is broken', say I, 'can I get an engineer out?'.
A little over half an hour's worth of questions later...'are you sure the door is shut?', 'is it plugged in?', 'is it next to a heat source?', ' is it in full sunshine?'.....she says, 'it seems to be broken, we'll have to get an engineer out'.
Eugenics. We need eugenics.

When the person in front of you in the chippy queue goes,6 fish,6 large chips,3 currys,one large peas,a large battered sausage a fish cake butty please.
Is that everything?
Just tell me again what I've ordered please??
You've ordered everything you selfish cow?
Had that type of experience in Shelton Lock chippy last night. Pair of lesbians from central casting at the counter, and me at the back of the queue watching the stock diminish...

I don't rate Whyte especially. His heart will always rule his head and the red mist will always take over. His short combos, his low left when he right hooks... he's going to get knocked out by a World Champion.
But he's great for the fans. He's taken risk after risk and he entertains. Give the man his title shot.
Entertaining though isn't he? And he's built a nice little run of wins against serious opponents. If he leaves himself open and unbalanced to Wilder like he did in the 9th last night it'll be game over, but I wouldn't rule out Whyte getting to Wilder first.

One thing is for certain. If Joshua wins the rematch in the UK then Wilder and Fury will definitely fancy the fight.
It's a massive wake up call for AJ. No heavyweight champion has ever retired undefeated. That's the nature of the beast. It doesn't matter how big you are, any decent heavyweight opponent who can landed punches is going to hurt. Hearn and his cronies are to blame partially for the defeat. Underestimated the opponent, thought AJ could turn up. AJ didn't have the drive to win, Ruiz Jr looked like a caged animal.
Rocky Marciano did.

Bloody Nora. Never saw that coming.

Me neither but only because I'm at work Sunday though
AJ will take a round or 2 to figure him out and then start unloading. It'll be like Molina, Breazeale and Martin. Ruiz will be cautious and if he throws anything threatening then he'll get a nasty reply. If he doesn't then the best he can hope for is "I survived x amount of time"
He's not too bad is he? It's just these elite guys are too good.
Better than the Miller fight. How that fat ****** got the AJ fight was pure talk. Fat punchbag
I've seen nothing of him to be honest. Similar level to Parker, but easier for AJ to land on? Good, but not AJ, Fury or Wilder.
Would have preferred to see the original opponent, I think AJ would have sparked him good and early too, and easier, but he was a knob-head whereas I can't dislike Ruiz.

Rams shirt being held up at the AJ v Ruiz weigh in.
Not paying for this...can't see Ruiz lasting too long.

Think he becomes irrelevant the moment he loses the WBC title tbh. Who's going to want to fight him when he brings nothing to the table?
I reckon he'll bring that serious one punch threat which means he'll sell at his half of the PPV on any show against any top 10 heavyweight. Money talks. The flip side is, he's dangerous so why risk fighting him...but money still talks,

He's certainly crossed the line. I enjoyed watching him get schooled by Fury, even if somehow the judges didn't see it, the sooner he drifts into irrelevance the better.
It's boxing and he's got a big sales point...he bangs hard. No way he becomes irrelevant short of a jail sentence, no matter how vile.

BBC reckon Max Lowe's playing well.

Where do you get the delivery from?

I had a moment the other week when I used the exact same term about Warnock. He's been at it too long to hate him any more, and his Cardiff team have been shafted once too often not to have sympathy, especially after the Sala thing.
Neil Warnock IS a national treasure, I hope he stays on at Cardiff and gets them back up again.

Yeah it's bad. I just saw Kash Ali has a 6 month ban for biting Price 4 times. 6 months.... that's skipping 1 fight then for him.
Be interested to see what Miller gets. It will probably be 2 years.
Wasn't Tyson done on more recreational drugs? The magic sugar?
I think you're right on reflection. Didn't he get off a nandrolone charge by claiming he'd eaten wild boar or something though? Yeaaaaahh Riiiiight.
Thing is I like watching Fury box. Takes the shine off though.

I doubt its exclusive to boxing. The top boxers are tested but it's the lower levels where you can get away with it easier. I imagine it's the same in any sport.
Agree it's across a number of sports. Cycling and track and field athletics have been utterly ruined by it too.
Top level fighters are getting caught, and they're getting short bans in a sport whether the elite may only fight a couple of times a year anyway. Canelo? Tyson Fury?

If this was in football, I'd stop watching. What's the point watching a bent sport? Always has been, but I'm pretty much out these days.
Random stuff that people do that annoy me
