    Fury split win - one of the judges got paid off😄 Fury won pretty comfortably. Split decision I suppose gives chance for another money making return. Neither of them any good. It is just a circus. Found a dodgy stream - guess you have to be a celeb fan to pay to watch that.apparently 50 dollars...

    Still hard to see how that fight generated do much money. Never gotten into MMA but the two of them were supposed to have earned around 400 million between them!!

    Not surprisingly. Just seen the numbers and it's more for each fighter than 99% of world title fights would get!!

    Boxing 2023

    Someone please explain the fascination with this Paul Vs Tommy Fury fight. 2 kids who have fought nobody and spend their lives in the media. Paul is at least a stone heavier.about a dozen "fights" between. I get social media and entertainment pages would get excited by it. But it's getting...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Immediate points all favour Russia - cessation of hostilities allows Russia to retool, reset defensive positions etc. Sanctions removal again benefits Russia. China one of the major beneficiaries of sanctions with cheap oil. China going to back China until an "obvious" winner emerges

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Hard to see as much more than PR when it offers bullet points rather than possible solutions.

    Roald Dahl books

    always a slippery slope for me. Literature, the Arts etc need to be taken in the context of the times in which they were created. Artists accused of fat shaming in female portraits from 200/300 years when in fact they were a celebration of what was considered the epitome of beauty at the time...

    That's why I'm saying it's a completely different game now. Everything screams it shouldn't work in Test cricket but it does for now. Other teams will adapt. There inevitably will be a mini-disaster along the way and some will scream but (for me) enjoy the ride. Brave declarations, fast run...

    Reminds of being a kid listening to overseas Tests on a pocket radio at night in bed - many years before live TV coverage!! 😁 😁

    Shamima Begum

    I find the lines disturbing/confusing. She can be stripped of her citizenship (whist being born here and her family is here) but convicted murderers, rapists,serious criminals etc (who weren't born here and were awarded citizenship- in some cases don't even have citizenship) can't be deported...

    It's just a different game now. 21 for 3 having been put in day one of an overseas Test. No problem keep attacking and close the day 315 for 3. Brook on course to be quickest Test batsman to 1000 test runs. Noone has done it all in overseas Tests?

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Well there's 3 namechecks there that I have no idea who they are :) But seriously reducing it to film characters etc. is at best tasteless. People are dying in large numbers on both sides it's not an issue for frivolity.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Threat is a relative term. Enough of a threat to provoke Sweden & Finland to join NATO. The likes of Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, Kazakstan, Tajikistan and a few other -stans have all expressed fears for their security from Russia in recent years. Putin has consistently over the last 10 years...

    He had a pop at David Pleat when he called us a small provincial club that played above themselves.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    From a Ukrainian point of view the Russian land grabs made them fearful of further land grabs. NATO was seen by the Ukrainian people as the only security that could have against this. The same reason other former Soviet bloc states joined in the first place. They didn't join to be closer to the...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Problem is (going back a long way before NATO membership was even considered) that Putin does not see Ukraine as a sovereign state. The annexation of Crimea and involvement in Donbas & Luhansk in 2014 emphasizes this. Prior to these 2 events there was little appetite for NATO membership in...

    Incredible achievement for a 40 year old particularly as he's an opening quick(ish) bowler. One of the greats who still on his day is an absolute pleasure to watch.
