The system will crash. They need to advertise to get the numbers they need.

I'll have you know Datsue self-flagellates himself just fine without thinking at all, ta very much. For me, the self-flagellation is very much an end unto itself. I have my own set of couture whips. Hand-tooled.

You are a prince amongst men, sir. Thank you very much. I never liked Augie Sanchez, for some reason... Though I always had a soft spot for John Michael Johnson.

Right. But could Bill Oddie KO Augie Sanchez?

It seems to be doing alright with a good unique selling point of being a pure boxing channel and getting plenty of international boxing particular in Europe with some Sauerland Bills and Stateside as well with the Top Rank bills have helped it's progresions, but I still would like to see improvement like a phone in where we can speak our minds about what is going et in manner similar to 6-0-6 for the football fans rather than just picking out a few Tweets now and again and it also great they are showing the amateur side of the sport as well so we can get a glimpse of the future talent as well. So it is doing well but can still improve.

Does anyone know why people on Virgin can't get the deals and offers from allegedly ? Was going to sign up due to the two months for a tenner but then the small print says SKy customers only.

Dats, I actually managed to find a higher res copy which is quite nice. I've no idea how to cut the segment I want although I'm fairly sure it won't be hard. The whole thing is 2 hours long, guess I could just upload it all :)

Apologies for flogging a dead horse Datsue and Bill Oddie is one mean and moody hombre so it goes within the twitching community. Ecky Thump is no joke.

He used to live in the same block of flats as my brother. Always looked a bit shifty to me.

Yeah right my Bruv used to run a garden centre in Camden a few years ago and Oddie was a regular customer but was renowned as a miserable twat.
