He seems a really great loss............
Re: Billy Isaac
I know some pretty bad people and they do have floppy handshakes though I think it's just for 'civilians' who they don't really respect - that's not a dig either I walk off thinking -'That were a bit limp'.Dead Mouse wrote:I met Billy a few times at Betta Bodies, Shannon's Gym and at various shows. Very big guy, very gentle handshake. RIP.

Re: Billy Isaac
I think you've got that wrong. Most people with very gentle handshakes generally haven't been brought up to 'know' how to shake a hand 'properly'. That's not a dig at them, as it's not really their fault - not that having a soft handshake is a fault necessarily - and it doesn't make me think any less of them.palooka wrote:I know some pretty bad people and they do have floppy handshakes though I think it's just for 'civilians' who they don't really respect - that's not a dig either I walk off thinking -'That were a bit limp'.Dead Mouse wrote:I met Billy a few times at Betta Bodies, Shannon's Gym and at various shows.

On the flip side, people with crushing handshakes are all knobs. No exceptions.
Firm is good.

Re: Billy Isaac
Working on the door all the idiots used to try and crush my hand, my hands are bad too, had a few rows over it!
Re: Billy Isaac
Never really understood all that firm handshake stuff. Looking at people in the eye whilst talking yeah, but I can't say I'd personally remember a bloke or judge them by their hand shake?
It's not something I notice.

Isn't that called natural justice?mickey1975 wrote:The man was around the premier league of crime all his life, even named in a trial involving The Adams family, stood trial for murder amongst other things and probably has had several contracts taken out on him. Then he moves to Ireland and dies falling off a wheely bin? You really could not make it up.

I agree it's not hygienic. But I think it's originally about showing you have no weapon in your hands.margaret thatcher wrote: ↑25 Nov 2021, 18:57 i dont understand how handshakes are any manlier than hugs tbh

Re: Billy Isaac
