The Subbie

Currently reading "spycatcher" by Peter Wright , brilliant read even better because the brits tried to ban it !! heh heh heh

The Iceman

Just finished "the Iceman" Chuck Liddell's story - great read.
His story about Dana White walking into his room the morning after he beat Tito at UFC 47 with naked women laying all over the place is mad craic.

Reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad at the minute - great so far.

Does he mention how he likes to paint his nails? Seriously.

I read an article/interviww with chuck on espn and he loves to paint his toe nails. Neon pink if I remember. Just wondered if it was in his book.

The Iceman

Oh - sorry I thought you were talking about Rich dad.....

yeah Chuck paints his toe nails for fights - it started off as a joke then became a good luck thing for him.  If anyone can get away with it he can.  He even lists his favourite colours lol  Are you going to tell him he sounds like a fruit?

Great read Puck, for any MMA fan - it really goes through the entire history of the sport in America and beyond and although he toots his own trumpet a bit it is enjoyable.

Great intro.
Was it something along the lines of "f**k off shithouse"? It is the definitive book on Clough.
"When it's too tough for them, it's just right for us"

ONeill

It was more the foreword/preface thingymajigimy. He mentions a book by a journo who committed suicide.

STREET FIGHTER

Not long finished 'Marching Powder' by RustyYoung & Thomas McFadden.

Interesting read about the notorious prison San Pedro in Bolivia.

Tough reading at times but overall an interesting read.

I think im still as broad a cluchie as the day and hour I arrived 4 years ago. In fact the children in my class imitiate my accent- with wee T'rone phrases.
The day and hour i think i have an English accent- im off.
South East/Essex-horrendous accent and they say yea after every word, innit, yea.
My mum yea, etc etc

How times have changed. Time you were off.
What sort of freak would remember that?!
