I've had a few sessions at the sports bar in Haymarket, where we'd go to (say) 100 Club for a gig, grab late beers at the bar then head to our booked booth at the sports bar where we'd be until 7 when the fight was over ie. Hatton v Mayweather.

Then down to a club in Vauxhall.

Bugger that !

I'll not even get out of bed this eve and hopefully will only need to be awake for 90 mins or so if I'm lucky with timing !

I went to bed early for Mayweather Hatton, and got about 4 hours sleep before making my way to a friend's in Crystal Palace. That was a good night, and DC I seriously recommend you try and get some shut eye.


The fight is scheduled for 4am our time, which means it could be any time between 4 and 6.

Mayweather totally owned Marquez, to the point of making him look almost amateur.

Marquez is the only guy who's (in my view) equalled Paquiao during their contests in recent years.

So, for me (and I know you shouldn't use such simple maths when comparing like this), Mayweather will let Pacman come in and defend as usual in his perfect style.

Floyd's not going to war until (if) he sees Pacman hurt or slow.

I have just tagged Quids and Otta on FB. I once had a school fight with Eamon Loughran, who went on to be world welterweight champion, one of the titles up for grabs tonight. :)


He said to me do you want to fight or do you want to box, I warn you that I'm the best boxer in Ballymena, so I recommend you don't choose to box....I chose fight and it didn't last long but at least I didn't box and I still have a nose and head.


Ps. There are regular photos of Eamon and Liam Neeson on FB. Liam Neeson fought at the same club as a boy.


Local heroes.

Almost identical except rounds 9 and 10.


I watched last night, and it must have been so frustrating for Manny. But Mayweather's reach advantage was so obvious, and Manny couldn't get in on him.


He did hurt him a coule of times though.

Anyone watch the domestic boxing at the weekend ?

Skeete, Mitchell, Buglioni.

Good British contests.


Then in Germany, Felix Sturm actually lost hit title to a non-German (a Russian) on POINTS !!

Then in USA there was Alvarez v Kirkland (good first upper cut, the boy walked right on to it).

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By dan b · Posted

      London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom.

      Has anyone retrospectively fit aircon in a loft conversion?

      By redjam · Posted

      This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.

      Councillor Jon Hartley

      By MaryT · Posted

      Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
