The Gloves - The Boxing Board Pub Thread

[Adam D]

First topic message reminder :

I, as well as countless other people have had enough of threads descending into utter drivel.

If you want to go wildly off topic and discuss things, then please do so in here.

Today alone has seen threads descend into conversations about Blazing Saddles, hot women, the Royal family, how to cook duck and now darts.

Is this really how we are going to attract new members?

If you want to talk about these or other similarly non boxing related matters, do so here and not on threads people have taken the time to write.

The Gloves is now open for business, now who is buying the first round?

[Michaels, Sean]

Would have loved to have been around in those days. Quite fancy a Vespa but a lot of nobheds seem to be riding them these days.

[Guest]

Better modes of transport? Now THERE'S an argument wait to happen.

The words "scooter", "hairdryer", "wheels on" and a few others can be formed into a coherent sentence.

[Rowley]

T'is true Sean. I am currently in the market for a new one, my old one finally giving up the ghost some time ago. Just need to persuade the missus it is a useful use of our scant resources. Would like a Lambretta but they are not the most reliable things in the world and being stunningly useless mechanically think a Vespa is the better option.

[Rowley]

It's not about speed Dave, am sure your good lady will have had cause to tell you that before.

[whotobeA]

Apparently they all still meet up once a year in brighton but instead of having a good old tear up they have a nice brew & natter! Dylan was right, the times are changing!

Now would Floyd be a Mod & Manny a rocker? Touchpaper!

[Guest]

Wouldn't know about that, mate, I tend not to hang about/stay awake long enough for the "autopsy".

I generally assume they're tears of gratitude she's crying...

[Michaels, Sean]

There's a pub out in the country near me where the rocker's turn up every Sunday. Look as hard as nails in their skull covered leather, helmets and chains etc. They then take their helmets off, order a moccolatte and suddenly it's quite obvious these guys are city bankers half way through a mid life crisis.

It sounds like that dreadful film with John Travolta, Tim Allen, William H Macy and Martin Lawrence.
"Those crazy bikers comin' down 'ere with their blueberry phones"

[Michaels, Sean]

I quite liked that film......

[Union Cane]

I quite liked that film......

Me too.

[after Woody has slapped a bull, Doug goes out to also slap it]

Earl Dooble: Yeah, and we never seen it done twice in a row.

Woody Stevens: What?

Earl Dooble: It'll be interesting to see how the bull takes being slapped now that he's alert.

Woody Stevens, Bobby Davis: Alert?

[bellchees]

That is a good film

[whotobeA]

I prefer Quadrophenia tbh! Even though Jimmy now appears as any & every cockney sterotype, the leading lady now has lips resembling a pair of seals & the main MOD bellboy is a tree hugger who doesn't like to fetch before 8hrs on the job!

In all fairness have you seen Sting's missus not surprised it takes him an age to shoot his fat. Agree about Quadrophenia though, cracking film. Although it should be noted that in the lyrics for the Who songs the film was based on Jimmy rides a Vespa GS whereas in the film he rides a Lambretta LI. The film makers should have got this right, the GS is a beautiful scooter.

[ONETWOFOREVER]

Both a couple of muppets I know but who would win this 1.

Thats Bungle from rainbow if anyone is wondering.

[HumanWindmill]

ONETWO, I'm going to merge this into the ' pub ' thread, but will leave it here for ten minutes to give you chance to read this.

No disrespect intended, but we have a couple of ' off topic ' threads on the front page already, one of which, although tongue in cheek, is actually addressing an issue of some importance.

[ONETWOFOREVER]

OMG!!!!!!!

[coxy0001]

Apparently bungle has already released a picture baiting Fury for a fight, asking him if "ee's ard enuf caaaam 'av a go"

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_y1p1pgk1sZU/SzLIbKMMe6I/AAAAAAAAAkM/g3cRb5hSMvY/s320/Bungle.jpg

Bungle's style is all wrong for Fury, he zippys him in his backpocket all night long

[ONETWOFOREVER]

I think Bungle give Fury nightmares IMO. Hes got 3 things going for him...

he's a south PAW

he's good and...

he's black.

Ha !

Marvin Bungle. I like it.

[Daz]

Haha!! Marvin Bungle!

[TRUSSMAN66]

I probably would have liked the movie...had I understood the jargon..

However classless punks and wallies on motorbikes looking hard isn't my idea of fun...

Gave up attending yoga class years ago..

[oxring]

Lads - this isn't about boxing. Its locked whilst I work out how and where to move it.

If anyone wants it unlocked - pm me.

[HumanWindmill]

Moving this to the ' pub ' thread, fellas.

Will give it ten minutes so you know where it is.

[TRUSSMAN66]

Move it to the blue oyster...there is a good lad.

[fearlessBamber]

Where's Azania gone ?

[compelling and rich]

Where's Azania gone ?

watching some old fighters so he can finally get clued up

[BALTIMORA]

I was wondering the same thing, now you mention it. The words 'cooler, one week' sprang to mind...

[Rowley]

Where's Azania gone ?

Putting the finishing touches to his Rocky Marciano appreciation website.

Whilst in the 'cooler'.

[Il Gialloblu]

I stumbled across this today...

http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/world-of-sport/article/58024/

... and my overwhelming thought was Boris Becker looks a bit like a ginger Tom Jones.

[Il Gialloblu]

What is the worst name you have ever seen a boxer have?

I would go with this...

http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=240316&cat=boxer

[Il Gialloblu]

Did I say worst?

[Scottrf]

Shout out on Buncey, nice!

Pavlik has been back on the booze and fighting.

http://ringtv.craveonline.com/blog/168017-pavlik-brothers-draw-cops-with-fight

Does anyone actually read this thread?

[Rowley]

I do Scott, more in the vague hope the talk will come back round to scooters and sixties music but am still waiting.

[Scottrf]

I meant non-hit-and-run-merchants really but you will have to do.

[Rowley]

I meant non-hit-and-run-merchants really but you will have to do.

Have stopped my hit and run days. Was getting perilously close to getting a spinning back fist for my troubles, better avoided me thinks

[Union Cane]

Crikey, you were up early Jeff, did you wet the bed?

[Rowley]

Am always up early mate, missus takes about three days to get ready so thought I would pop in, not much doing on Sky sports news so why not.

it does seem to be dying a death this pub, must be the smoking ban and tax on the beer!!

anyway proper pub chat, which is the hardest to acheive a 147 in snooker or a nine dart finish in darts?

[Scottrf]

Darts I reckon.

[compelling and rich]

i dont know for certain but think televised nine dart finshes are rarer than televised 147's. im better at darts than snooker though.

[AlexHuckerby]

I know I perhaps shouldn't create a thread about this, but does anyone actually kind of miss D4?

Granted the man was DELUSIONAL and he deserved the capitals there, but he kinda grew on me a bit. Granted he started arguements and created a thread whenever Manny opened his mouth, but I kind of miss the guy and his strange ways, never know what you had 'til it's gone kind of thing. =/

Anyone else sort of miss the goofy guy?

[TRUSSMAN66]

I used to miss D4..


Then I learn't to punch straight..

[Scottrf]

The old ones are the best.

[AlexHuckerby]

Aw, come on I know he was a bit annoying at times, but his views were SO out there you had to like him a little bit for his quirkiness!

[TRUSSMAN66]

Not interested in your sex life..
