    Yeah it's nearly always "I wish I travelled more" or "I wish I'd moved to...."... I think education is amazing if followed through to the end and utilised to it's potential, fantastic, I think it's a complete waste of time if it's 4 years on the piss to scrape a degree of sorts and start looking for work at £25k a year at 24 years old ... I love listening and working with educated people, my accountant is 73 years old and maybe the sharpest man I've ever known with numbers, I've known him a lot of years and still am amazed at some of the planning, financial advice, dare i say "dodges" he talks

    Tank for me is the better all round boxer, but I think Garcia would be more comfortable at welterweight so not sure Tank would gain much by following him up the weight classes,, I'm guessing Garcia will fight Haney again at a catch weight then move up to welter, Crawford is way too much for him at that weight as is Ennis imo, I can't see any of them moving up a class abd troubling Crawford tbh

    I'm the same mate, every city we go to we go in the cathedral, I'm not religious just something about them. There's a decent little art shop in cathedral yard, worth a look. Glad you got about and enjoyed it mate, it's a nice part of the world, you should've given me a shout I would've come and met you for a cuppa...

    Haha...yeah, wasn't perhaps the best phrasing when handing out compliments lol

    Good on your daughter mate, sounds a good screw. Your lad will find his way, they all do in the end mate... I know what you mean about construction, but make him more rounded, look at Estimating, QS work, Draftsman etc, you can learn a trade and off shoot into other parts of it... I know you've done well in the game so he'll be learning off you anyway.

    The 2nd pic with the coffee is looking at Lympstone/Topsham over the River Exe estuary, the first pic with the boats is the Exeter canal at Turf Locks, that's where the canal ends and enters the river mouth near Powderham Castle. I grew up near Topsham right on the river, loads of good memories on the canal and river mate.. Where abouts on the Exe where you?

    Many things will take you far beyond the "average" tradesman mate, yes a good degree can be one of those things, but I honestly think a lot of it is mindset. There are only so many top surgeons, top lawyers etc all have dedicated to study and their career, fantastic I tip my hat to them.... but like you say there are loads of people who go to University purely to appease pushy parents, or as it's the driven option at college (we are witnessing it now with Finley, his teachers can not work out why he wouldn't want to go). I guess I see it from point of view of successful working class, bu

    Good on them mate, that's great going for such young adults.. you must be really proud and rightly so. I guess I think there is opportunities for anyone with the right work ethic and if you want to step up your earnings then you need to take right amount of risk. The really wealthy people I know personally are entrepreneurial and extremely driven only one of them I can think of went to Uni, he worked for F1 for a bit and set up a very successful security camera/sensor business where they designed and installed security systems sold the company for a song and set up a clever scanning booth

    Funny I was yapping to my lad when n Saturday, hes 18 finishing his A levels in a few months in Biology and Chemistry plus a music production course..we got taking about university/jobs future plans etc... he's a bright lad and got his head screwed on, he said to me only one of his friendship group has gone into a trade (bricklaying), the rest are all going to Uni. His words were over half of them 20 years ago would've gone into a trade, they aren't super clever and the courses they are doing leaf to bog standard jobs and a pile of debt. I'm all for education but I agree with him, it's almost

    Fair play to him mate .. Good mate of mines wife ran it for her local scout group, not sure how much she raised though ..

    I think all of those players are gone mate, strangely maybe Maguire could stay, considering he has to last ditch defend constantly as there is zero protection, he does ok.. Also Varane, lindleoff, Evans, Ericksen and probably wan Bissaka... None of them even make the bench at City, Liverpool or Arsenal... Time to invest in some of these youngsters and add the right kind of experienced players, not past there best former stars...

    Some effort from Coventry, couple of inches and VAR away from the final... Casimero looks like he's got lead in his boots... UTD looked good first half but deserved nothing really in the end, hollow victory, wonder who will still be there next season.
  16. NEWKID
    Ah right, I hadn't seen that mate...cheers

    My sister in law does book keeping for a chap who buys and sakes watches, specialises in restoring Rolex's... I could get her to have a word if you want idea on values etc, brother says he's a real decent bloke, you'd like him he's proper eccentric! Lol
  18. NEWKID
    Is the rolex genuine mate?
  19. NEWKID
    I'd have got up and walked out, heathens!! Lol

    How did one judge score it even? Haney showed a lot of heart, but he got it all wrong, not really a fan of Garcia but used his strengths and was a deserved winner, hopefully he makes the weight for the rematch as that's a bit of a joke really

    Had a wander along the canal myself this morning, just me and the wife, walked to the end lock where it meets the estaury, sat and had a coffee and watched the swallows... Great to have some sunshine again
  22. NEWKID
    So wrong... Thought more of you mate tbh lol

    I was born in 76 Gnash, so to be honest the first heavyweight that grabbed my attention was Tyson, I was 9 or 10 when he beat Berbick and still remember it vividly, watched with my dad and brother...I probably got a decent run of it from 85/86 and through the 90s...but by god that 10 years of the Klitckos was awful, would send a glass eye to sleep...I seriously can't remember many of the fights, perhaps Haye beating Valuev only for sheer novelty factor really though... I watch a lot of old fights on you tube.. Bang on about the light heavyweight division, it's full of real quality fi
