I remember when he smashed the guy who was his Mrs's ex fella. Everyone got round and gave him a false story that he was 'defending himself from an attack' and even Scottish journos were finding it funny that he had got off. In the end, he should have been punished there and shown that he couldn't do whatever he wanted, and there would be consequences. It may not have worked, but the lack of accountability and a crew of people who will just kiss your ass would not have helped

How is if arse kissing? In that situation my mates wouldn't grass me up and would lie for me but they certainly don't kiss my arse. It's loyalty amongst friends.

I've been lucky enough to have mates like that and when iI got really lucky I got friends who would rebuke me when I was in the wrong.

Mine would back me in a fight, but still go mad with me later if I caused it.

I really don't like being referred to as a 'Jock'. Are you Irish by any chance?

I forgets

Sky hyped up the ‘McCullough was fighting in U.S. arenas, but he’s had his last few in smaller venues in the U.K. to get him ready for this David Vs Goliath clash’. It was almost exactly the same as David Goliath if you removed the catapult, the outcome and the fact that God wanted David to win.

It's just a name. I upset people all the time without meaning it... A bloke in my taxi said he was Kurdish, I replied "in Turkey", he went mental, I threw him out of the car. I was making small talk with a guy up here for the races from Wolverhampton and said "where are you from, pal, Birmingham?", he lost the plot, I thought I was going to have to hit him.
