Apparently there's a good documentary on Linford that's now on Netflix. You never hear of him after his drugs scandal, he was supposedly shafted or so it says on the documentary. Canadians, Ozzies and Kiwis are just our colonial cousins , not those bloody Inuits, Abo’s and Māoris, of course ! ( Just tongue in cheek lads ! ). Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's like a colour chart, you can see all the different colours but it's impossible to point out the exact spot where yellow becomes orange, where orange becomes red, etc. Trying to categorize the human race is very similar.

How would yous class him? Lennox Lewis I would class as one of the best heavyweights of all time. British,,Canadian, who cares. Not me. He gave a lot of entertainment. Top, top athlete imo. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Citizenship does not label you as Scottish, English or Welsh, you are labelled as British, you are also a British national. He is as English as Boris Johnson mate.

jukel123 7,865 Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Personally I think you should only 'dis' somebody unless you would be prepared to do it to their face. I dont think there's many people who would say to Daley Thompson, Lennox Lewis or John Conteh that because they possess varying degrees of tar brush that they are niggers or not british. Not would you call Mike Tyson or Danny Williams a f****n murdering muzzie to their faces. I detest road rage freaks for their amateur dramatics. Never met one who would stop their car and confront face to face. Maybe I've seem too many westerns. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Never met one who would stop their car and confront face to face. Maybe I've seem too many westerns. I’ve told this tale before. I was great friends with the double Olympic gold medal champion, record holder and American civil rights man Lee Evans. We became pals when he was managing the Saudi Arabian Olympic team. What we had in common was Range Rovers and Land Rovers. Anyhow, I had his 50th birthday party at my house and we were at one time at another party and a friend of his, an ex American football player who went by the nickname “The Refigerator” was also there, and I overheard him say to Lee; “ has your new white pal used the ‘N’ word yet ? “ Well, I was incensed and said to the guy “ I’m a Geordie, we don’t call you niggers, we call you darkies, and it isn’t an insult, just a description ! “ Well the place went deathly quiet and I honestly thought my end had come, but Lee burst out laughing , clapped us both on the back and ordered three more drinks ! The situation was defused and we all had a great night ! Just another reminisce from an old man …. Cheers. 2 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aled 452 Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 I think the context of your comments and the people around you counted for the situation chartpolski. I played for a rugby club in Cardiff, the clubs No 8 was gay, (and a good player) now his clubmates who had grown up with him could take the pi*s out of him, BUT if an opposition team member did, they faced the wrath of the entire team, the same went for our half Ethiopian 2nd row an our half Malaysian outside half! We stood together with our team mates big time. For us that was a Welsh rugby value, teams that sin together win together! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
