GG - foolish comment.

I thought I read some where that the Falklands (as they are now called) were purchased from Argentina, wasn't there am actual receipt/contract in the shown in the papers a few years back when the 'war' kicked-off ? Not saying I know, saying I think.

Saw Cecil Parkinson in "Dave the Butchers" a few years ago, just after he'd been exposed for having an illegitimate 'love' child. So I asked him how often he saw the child and whether the child would be coming along on family holidays.

"Art is a luxury. Safety, Health and Welfare are not." What I am saying is that if you have to make bottom-line cuts they start with the thing you need least and in this country I think we need our health and welfare supported before 'our' art. We all rely on health and welfare at some time but we do not all rely on 'art'. That is why I say it is a luxury in that regard. To say life is not worth living without art, whatever is subjective, your view. Many millions in this country feel to the contrary. They have their X-factor and are sorted. However, many would agree. You can view a lot of art in this country for free and you can create a lot art in this country for free or virtually free. Starving people generally don't care about not being able to mix the appropriate hue of green, the rhythm of a Pollack or the metaphysical suggestions of Salvador bleedin' Dali.

I wonder why the 'imprisoned' one is pre-occupied with ensuring the light outside gets switched OFF.

I think Abraham faces Ward next (correct if wrong), if this IS the case then I fancy Abraham but have reservations on how slick a fighter he's dealt with previously. If Abraham faces Froch I for some unknown reason fancy Froch. Bizarre how I have just basically said that I fancy two men ! If someone overheard me down my local I might get a slap !!

Maslow's Hierarchy of needs sort of gives it perspective.

Art is a luxury. Safety, Health and Welfare are not.

I would like to see Ward against someone like (say) Pavlik, when he moves up. I'm amazed that I had not heard of Ward or Dirrell but they're both such outstanding boxers. Good for them both that they got a look in to the tournament and yeah it's exactly what they needed. Currently Ward is the more 'go-getting' stylist but Dirrell will learn as he grows. I hope kesslers confidence has not been knocked too much by the Ward contest, I suspect it was a big shock for him against someone he may not have known a lot about (assumption) and perhaps considered not a losing opportunity, more of a formality, before bigger/better things in the tournament.

Perhaps AC will advise. On another note, we are only a few weeks away from the next Super Six Tournament contests and I am really keen to see how Froch/Kessler get it on, I actually don't care to make a prediction, I'm happy just to see how it unfolds. With Danny Green joining, though I don't envy his task of facing Ward, we say goodbye to Taylor who's moves I always loved. I am hoping the format of a super-6 rolls-out to a few other divisions. Can you imagine a Welterweight super-6 and Mayweather NOT joining because there's 'no money' in it !! Of course he's hang around to fight the winner but that wouldn't be the same as proving his mettle via the tournament. Bizzare situation we're in when in many folk's eyes the super-6 holds more meaning than existing world belts and their rating systems, mandatory defence rules etc etc...

he he ! Gone (as in the Louis Jordan song 'Reet, Petite and Gone')

JTT - That's bold, top marks for a prediction like that, I'll certainly remember where I heard it first ! Anything is possible and who knows, it may mark the end of one / star of another era....
