in tenerife about 15 years ago met some bird who was cryin her eyes out as me and the missus walked back to the hotel...asked her what the problem was and she said her fella had argued with her and stormed off and left her on her own....this was about 4am so i thought that was a bit out of order and told her so and said i'd let her fella know too....was walkin her back to her hotel and it transpired that her boyfriend was Henry Wharton....

:o

i didnt hang around.

or going in a drive through macdonald's in cardiff & asking for a big mac & gaving rees takes your order & bradley price is mopping the floor & you drive round for your door to be open & old enzo jumps on your lap :DDD

Also work wise Bunny sterling randomly called me about an investment in nigerian crude....think he was in the process of getting ripped off. though not 100% on that.

But Bunny was impressed that i knew who he was. :TU:

Not really a "Roberto Duran at a strip club" or a "Tommy Hearns in a lift with a prostitute" but interesting day at work for me anyway! I was working in an appartment block in Auckland New Zealand years ago, and in one of the rooms there were four of us working. I was putting pipes up doing the sprinklers and got talking to a labourer a fellow pom (thats what they call us brits in N.Z and OZ) and the subject gets round to boxing, it turns out he was the brother of a light heavyweight from Blackpool called Simon Mcdougall, at the time my cousin (Mark potter heavyweight) was a pro - so we was talking about shows we went to and so-on when the Tiler buts in and says he's a pro boxer and is fighting next week in a promotion in Auckland (He was a south African super middleweight called Dean Evans) laughing the guy doing the kitchen said he was New Zealand Light heavyweight during the 70's (His name was Joe Jackson, he fought Anthony Mundines dad Tony!) - We all went a couple of days later and saw Dean blast some geezer out in about a minute!! Nobody really famous but certainly the best day at work I've ever had! All the boxers names are here on boxrec. I'm just not that computer literate and can't do the link thing!

I saw Junior Witter in Currys Digital on the High Street in Doncaster; John Anthony was parked up in a gardening van down the road and I once bumped into Herol Graham on Sheffield market. I was stood next to Mark Mcreath at the Love Parade at Leeds; he seemed a good lad. JonJo Irwin was having a meal and a pint with his missus outside Zest on Donny High Street; JonJo is a friendly laid back man.

When he lost to sprott in 2003 he got a detached retina, they refused to give him his licesence back - one of his ex managers was andrew mortlock and he was running the unlicensed thing so he went into that! I guess the next natural progression is MMA (more money) I haven't spoke to him for a while but see him on face book and he's learnt all different types of fighting skills now and looks very fit (fitter than he ever was in his boxing days, I think hes a personnal trainer now aswell!) I remember at the time he tried everything to get his pro-licesence back but they wouldn't give him one!!! Cheers deserter for taking taking that thing off!! I slept after watching the Marquez-Diaz 2 promotion thing last night and half expected to wake-up being banned from here and thinking f.w lawyers would be onto me!!!!

It was a very good fight; JonJo was a very tough, tidy boxer. The bout was fast paced and I thought that JonJo had won by a couple of rounds. Colin was a gifted and silky boxer and was boxing very close to home; it seemed a bit of a hometown thing to be honest.
