Unless Eubank is hit bad by the cut, he should win this. Benn hasn't fought anybody of note and has looked poor since he has had to come off the roids.

Quote from: Dougal Maguire on April 26, 2025, 11:12:22 AMStrange that she should commit suicide on a good day to bury bad news

My thoughts exactly.

Heard in a news report this morning that the out of court settlement was something like £12m, you don't pony up sort of money if you have nothing to hide.

I remember that the payout came with no apology or admission of guilt, but in what world does paying 12 million not equate to guilt?

Eubank should win this, hopefully by KO.

Quote from: tonto1888 on April 24, 2025, 11:38:12 AMThe Terminal List (2022) is a good show. Rewatching that at the moment

I enjoyed that. Meant to be a season 2 but still no sign of it.

I can't quit a show once I start. Been some shows over the years I have continued with even though they became dung, such as TWD, FTWD, The 100, Hannibal, Peaky Blinders, Falling Skies, Mayans and From.

Quote from: bennydorano on April 22, 2025, 09:51:59 AMHaven't watched S2 episode 2 yet but I've been enduring Last of US to date, one of those shows I'm reading the reviews and mystified as to what I'm missing, it's shite. Reminds of that dung that was on Sky - Fortitude, won awards, great reviews - just awful.

I get what you are saying as season 1 was average at best.

The second one he must be referring to, as the first one was crap. Just seems to be another version of the Walking Dead. But that second episode was brilliant.

Quote from: maldini on April 16, 2025, 10:31:49 PMOne of his many silly arguments in this podcast was why should it matter to anyone McIlroy or any golfer winning a tournament

Then went on to pontificate about Marvin Hagler fights 50 years ago and the LA Lakers.
Should those matter to anyone?

Aye, what does the golf the other night matter to us? Then goes on about some boy Jerry West who played basketball in the US, which must be extremely relevant.

Quote from: seafoid on April 16, 2025, 05:03:59 PMA big win for Graham Linehan and all logical thinkers.

https://www.ft.com/content/1e87c431-23e9-4318-954e-56d8fa92f5ef

The UK's highest court has ruled that the definition of a "woman" in equality legislation refers to someone who is born biologically female, in a blow to campaigners for the rights of transgender people. The Supreme Court found in a unanimous decision that the meaning of "woman" in anti-discrimination law did not extend to a trans woman with a gender recognition certificate.

Mad the effort required to declare a judgement that has been a fact for thousands of years.

Rashford has been a joke for the majority of the past few years. He hasn't exactly been setting the world alight at Villa either.

Quote from: flowerpot on April 15, 2025, 04:37:34 PM3. Ref moving in frees and folk opting for 2 pointers.

This one I really dislike. I don't mind the ref moving it up, that's fair, but that should be it. The player should not be allowed to go for 2

I agree with that too, but I suppose what's stopping a player from intentionally not giving the ball over, or slabbering, to get a free outside the arc moved inside the arc. In that instance, you would obviously want to be able to take ut from where you originally were supposed to.

New Black Mirror not as good as I hoped.

Surreal achievement, especially given the pressure going for the grand slam and not having won a major in over a decade, as well as the demons from 2011.  Hopefully this enables him to add more to his tally in the coming years.

Quote from: screenexile on April 10, 2025, 06:53:45 PMWatched the first episode of Black Mirror there... Common People

I thought it was brilliant!! Mildly believable and then plunging into darkness. Great cast too.

Looking forward to the next few.

Read an interview with the creator yesterday - given the rapidly expanding shit show that is our world, he thinks there is no end in sight for the series.

First I heard of a new season of Black Mirror, unreal news!

Halfway through This City is Ours - brilliant so far.
