    Yes absolutely, IBO is a mickey mouse belt!

    [Other Sport] Eubank v Benn

    Rehydration clauses are pretty standard as well though, similar rehydration rules apply for a IBF world title fight. Remember Kell Brooke talking about how he was huge at the weight and went through this sort of process all the time. My point is other fighters get on with it, dont complain and...

    [Other Sport] Eubank v Benn

    Eubank was fighting in his own weight category, middleweight. All of his last few fights have been at middleweight and he's the current IBO middleweight world champion. He didn't come down in weight at all for this fight!

    [Other Sport] Eubank v Benn

    I think Eubank is purposely putting emphasis on his weight loss so as if he loses he can blame it. Listening to Toni Bellew earlier and he said its quite normal for fighters to go through that type of weight loss programme in order to make weight, and Eubank usually fights at middleweight and is...

    [Politics] Small boats, smashing the criminal gangs and the UK job market

    Yes and as far as they are aware the cartel boss who's wedding it was is still living out there, despite having a 5 million dollar bounty on his head for narcotics trafficking, money laundering, firearms trafficking, and murder: https://www.state.gov/daniel-joseph-kinahan/ Not so good those...

    [Politics] Small boats, smashing the criminal gangs and the UK job market

    'full background checks' sorry thats hilarious! The UAE and in particularly Dubai has become the new costa del sol in terms of harbouring criminals, including drugs cartel bosses, money launderers and scammers! They will pretty much accept anyone in provided they have money and then go out of...

    [Travel] A27 Patcham Eastbound

    Does anyone know why they have coned off this part of the A27 for the best part of a week but as far as I can see no work is taking place? It must be costing businesses around Brighton and Hove a fortune in lost productivity so I am presuming there is some logic to it and it's not just massive...

    [Misc] Electric Cars

    I think it's unlikely that there will be dramatic improvements in tech/ range over a 3-4 year period. Electric cars take about that time to move from concept into production, so you can get a fair idea now of where we will be in a few years time. As an example, final designs of the Model 3 were...

    [Misc] Electric Cars

    Ive had electric cars since 2015, all have been bought through my company but on a business version of a PCP so principle is the same. My thinking with this, as it is relatively new technology, is to have it for a short finance period and to renew when the warranty expires. There are also often...

    [Misc] Electric Cars

    Just about to change our Tesla Model 3 to a Polestar 4 due to Musk. Bit gutted as I love Tesla's, hoping that the Polestar 4 is a decent replacement.

    [Football] De Zerbi offers to resign as Marseilles coach

    Yes I can see how the signing of Pierre-Emile Hojberg to marshall their midfield must have sent their expectations through the roof!

    [Football] De Zerbi offers to resign as Marseilles coach

    Theres always a few bed wetters in every fan base (take a section of the Hurzeler comments on here a few weeks back and you would have thought that he was on his way out), but if thats genuinely the feeling amongst the majority of Marseille fans then Im astonished as they must have the most...

    [Football] De Zerbi offers to resign as Marseilles coach

    I doubt they are losing patience, they were 8th last season, this year they are currently 2nd and have won 4 of the last 6! Looks like he’s doing a brilliant job!

    [Sussex] Getting out into the countryside

    I have just started training for a hike in the Scottish Highlands and on Sunday I got my backpack on and headed out of Hove and up on the downs to Devils Dyke and then on to Saddlescombe farm. The sun was out and the scenery was incredible, really reminded me what a fantastic part of the world...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    With Trump in charge NATO is effectively already finished. The alliance relies on the unequivocal support from within it and from the biggest powers, it's built on trust. You currently have 2 members within it that effectively veto everything because of their support for Putin, and a US...
