you're right Jeremy, i was just illustrating how mismatches are avoided in the non-boxing martial arts, but of course it's all amateur for those styles anyway.

No, if you add-up the 3.7m x annual membership fee you may have the money necessary to maintain a very small no. of properties only. The remainder still need other funds or grants.

I saw that blurry black blemish on the picture too ! Now if it gets removed it surely cannot be reported here as it will no longer be inane, having been reported and discussed. Perhaps the same if it's not removed, having a profile now, and all.

fazer you appear to be a talented guy, you know more about wooden box sash windows than people who've owned and maintained them for years and even those that make and fit them. Impressive.

Watch your cat do the rodeo - wrap some sellotape around his waist like a belt. And sit back. But move your expensive ornaments that are at ground level beforehand.

"Is there anyone else out there that does not give a shlt about the olympics? PLEASE?????????" anyone ?

Colin Cackson

That makes sense Huge, for boxing. Floyd Mayweather/Pacquiao against even a decorated amateur would be dangerous for the amateur. for the martial arts guys, they'd be competing nationally to whittle down the participants to the squad who'll represent their country at the Olympics, so there should be a natural progression through the tiers of quality, though that won't be associated with belts/grades - I'd expect all international quality martial artists to have their black/'dan' grades - selection and match-making by belt/grade would usually be at club/inter-club level competition.

possibility of smoking it ?

I'm sure (hope) there's a straightforward answer to this.. I've always believed that the Olympics was for amateurs only ie. not those who are paid pros. But if Andy Murray is playing tennis shouldn't pro boxers be allowed to don headgear and box to amateur point-scoring rules (or would that be considered unfair for the, by comparison, lesser experienced amateurs) ? I think I've heard that a couple of pro footballers are in the games, but not all. What ARE the rules regarding participation and are they consistent across the sports ?

My Mum did say the judge was 'a charmer'. Next day I was banned from swimming by my headteacher for doing midnight rowing on the boating lake. Arse.

Winner of Mr. Tarzan competition, Skegness Butlins 1972. Only thing I won as kid. Bloke who came 2nd was right upset.

The fried plantain at the stall on North Cross market had been mildly over-fried.

"....pay for wood at ?2000 per window / ?14,000 for the 7 needed on the front of a Victorian house". This is rubbish exaggeration. Look at top of thread I've already explained that got large windows at Runcent for @ ?475 inc. VAT each. And the 'rot in no time' nonsense too!! Unless I've been mysteriously lucky - in 20 years I've not had any windows rot (that I've installed and maintained). Weird how people seem to resent having to maintain their properties - isn't it a basic reality that if you have a shelter you need to maintain it to keep dry and warm ?
