If I were cynical then I’d say he meant it. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to highlight the condition, and for Davidson to get 15 minutes of worldwide fame. I don’t think he meant it at all though. As for seeing it coming…, a blind person could have seen this coming (apologies to any blind people who might be offended by that remark.., and apologies to any black people who’s sense of superior victimhood was triggered by my apology to the blind or partially sighted) but then how can you mitigate other than shunning the guy? The BBC on the other hand have dropped a clanger again i

Scottish boys are on a bender, Jamie Foxx is a sex offender Jamie ‘friend to Diddy and listed in the Epstein files’ Foxx reckons the guy meant it. If you’ve seen any footage of Tourettes then it’s often THE most offensive stuff that comes out. Poor Davidson had to remove himself from the ceremony half way through, on the night of his life, probably devastated by what he’d done.

Worked out pretty quickly that with some shops they’d have all the right ones out on display, and some of the left ones would be in the window display.., but usually out the same box. I say usually, I remember one little tea leaf once trying to sell a ‘pair’ that were two different sizes.

Ooft…, rather you than me

Benn now saying he’d fight and beat Eubank at super middleweight. Is that why he fought him at 160 before with a rehydration clause that nearly killed him? No fan of either but a genuine fight at SM I think would be an easy nights work for Eubank, even at 36.

Actor Robert Aramayo won best actor at the Baftas for his portrayal of Tourettes sufferer John Davidson.., bravo, but John himself stole the show with a gigantic ‘N bomb’ whilst two black fellas were on the stage presenting an award. Cue all the panty wetting by the usual suspects, who’ve completely proved why there’s still a stigma with the condition. Hopefully the two guys who might have been offended understand and can even see the funny side of it, as that to me is a big part of acceptance. Oh, and black Tourettes sufferers matter too.

Not forgetting the metal heads with their filthy biker jackets.., or by the mid-80’s the football casual scene. Like you say there are little pockets of these things left but they’re usually people reliving their youth. Seen a few videos recently of some bloke singing some of the old ska/two-tone classics with guys and girls in their 60’s skanking away, good for them but it did look a bit ridiculous. Fella I work with is 63 and goes all over the country watching punk bands from back in the day.., or what’s left of them. I think the dance/indie/rave scene of the late 80’s early 90’s was the l

Is this still for sale?

Imagine people in 1926 trying to predict our world. Where moving pictures were a novelty, medicine was still fairly primitive by today’s standards and just prior to the great depression, where even in the developed world men and their families would starve. Try telling them that in a few generations their descendants would almost all be morbidly obese and many would die of eating too much food whilst their eyes are glued to a screen stuck in the palm of their hand which could show them any one of trillions of moving images. Where the ‘war to end wars’ had recently ended, but where we’d

Maybe not in a century but certainly some sort of cataclysmic population crash caused by famine, disease, and conflict to some extent.., which will potentially contribute to the first two. It’ll likely result in major restructuring of the existing social and economic models, but the fittest will continue to survive and thrive, and the weak will suffer.., as is nature’s way. With that in mind, and the fact I’m powerless to stop any of it, and probably wouldn’t even if I could, I’ll just crack on worrying about today and leave tomorrow where it is.

Another memory from being a young teenager in the 80’s, checking footy scores on the viddy printer or Ceefax in electrical shop windows. Sad one the day of the Bradford fire.., remember just standing there in stunned silence surrounded by all these blokes the same.

I don’t think I’m naive.., but then that’s what someone who’s naive would say I don’t believe all cheats get caught, but nor do I believe that means every fighter is cheating. Usyk fought Bellew at cruiser, and made weight at around 198lb. Fight day he’d likely been 210lb at least. When he fought Fury (by now well into his thirties) he was 226lb.., where obviously no cutting for weight was needed, so guessing he’d have fought around that. I don’t think that’s even suspect. The weight gain and obvious physical change in guys like Haye, Holyfield etc. was obvious, but weight and mus

Not sure they’ll need it, England haven’t turned up.

Maybe they were, but how many of those you named failed a test? Oh, and you forgot to put Tyson Fury’s name in there.., his cheating and three years out the ring has been forgotten about by many. I haven’t, which is why I wouldn’t have him near the conversation for best in his era, never mind best ever.

I wouldn’t be surprised, if this really is the beginning of criminal proceedings for AMW, that he does himself in. You heard it here first.
