Cool, that's my evening sorted!

As was Benn's fight with Gerald Macallum, although I think he's still in a pretty bad way to this day.

Much like Eubank. Didn't actually kill Watson, but can't have been easy to deal with. Several times after that, he could have finished guys, but just stepped back. Now the first Eubank / Benn fight. That was a ruck!!!

But surely you can't see the book as "pro" child abuse? You seem to be suggesting that a woman would read it, and cry, whilst a man would get off on it. Wrong on both counts. Besides, every day, people read books in which people are murdered, kidnapped, raped, or whatever. Are they sick?

And you'll already be dressed up to hit the bars after. Result!

Perhaps you're right, but I'm sure I remember Frank Warren wanting him. Was 11 years back though, so not sure. After his first few fights in the U.S. Ring magazine was tipping him to emulate Lennox Lewis, so surely they must've seen something in him. Still, whether he had genuine potential or not, he's ended up as someone who is sad to watch. Desperate to acheive his goal, and prove everybody wrong, but just unable to accept that he's not good enough. I just hope he doesn't end up taking several more heavy knock outs. Derrick Chisora has slated him quite a bit, perhaps that could be a good fight... For Harrison, a chance to fight a World Title contender (not that he should've ever had the chance to fight Vlad), and for Chisorra, the chance to prove that he does deserve the big fights.

He decided to go it alone, rather than getting involved with the likes of Frank Warren. I respect him for taking that stance, but equally, had he been guided by an experienced promotor, they would've made the right decisions for him, and you never know what could've been. He's deluded, and has an ego that he can't back up. A shame indeed, I really do think it could've been different. He wouldn't have been the greatest, but neither was Bruno, and he can at least say that he was a world champ.

Bob Crow just likes a reason to open his mouth. Idiot.

I've been tempted by that, but equally, I was thinking of waitin for the new HTC Sensation.

Or "Faithfull" by Marianne Faithfull. I actually enjoyed reading her stories about her days hanging with The Stones, more than I did Keef's. I did enjoy his book a lot, and he has managed to remember a hell of a lot of stories, but equally, he doesn't seem to really get in to much detail about a lot of it (probably because it's all a bit hazy). Still well worth a read though. And one sort of semi autobiographical novel that should appeal to ock music fans, is "Stories we could tell" by Tony Parsons, which I'm pretty sure was inspired by his younger days as a music journalist. In terms of "trashy" stuff, my favourites for reading on the train are; Harlan Coben (thrillers) Raymond E Fiest (Lord of the rings / dungeons & dragons type stuff... Geek) Charlaine Harris (Supernatural crime type stuff) Mike Gayle & Matt Dunn (both do what I guess you might call the male equivalent of "chick lit")

Harison will probably point to George Foreman, and Bernard Hopkins as examples of older guys winning world titles... Unfortunately for him, they were world champs as young men too, and just carried on at that level.

When you get married abroad, especially in South America, you do so in the knowledge that not everyone will make it.

I read every day, but most of it is not very challenging, because I find the rest of my life challenging enough. I read to get away from that stuff. I wish I'd read this before I started reading A Handmaid's Tale! Very very good, but christ on a bike, it's depressing!

My first reaction was that it was a warm up fight for him. Bit crazy to think of a world title fight as a warm up, but he (along with Manny) is in a different league. I just hope they can finally get it on, earn a shed load, find out who the best is, then retire.

Mayweather to make another comeback

Just finished watching Series 3. Really enjoyed it, much better than series 2!

Borrowed the Ghostbusters video game for xbox. Gameplay a bit annoying, and seems to take for ever to reload a checkpoint when you die. If, like me, you were a fan of the film though, it's quite fun.

I honestly believe that there is some instinct that keeps you aware of where the baby is, so you don't crush it.

My wife would love to be a full time SAHM, and I would love it too. However, we just didn't think we could manage financially, so she went back to work 3 days, and it has made her miserable. She has just started maternity leave ahead of the arrival of our second, and I think after this, she'll go back 2 days, which will be much better.

We're a Show me Show me household. Another annoying one is that Mr Maker.

Bean is cool. I like the programme, just not Mr Bloom. I think he is patronising.

I know lots of you ladies wouldn't mind a look at his veg, but does anyone else find him very very annoying, and a bit fake?

If my missus went out with someone else before making the decision to leave me for them, that would tell me that she didn't really want to be with me, whether or not things worked with the other guy.
