Can't even grow sideburns... gaps missing like his make up when comes to bottle... hasn't any. The headlines state it all, and being kind, Destroyed.

Agree... he was very entertaining... sad regards the over doing of Joe Fraziers who helped and supported him big time in his 3 years in the wilderness, and not only with the money side. He picked 'Boxing' up by the scruff of the neck, TWICE! Manny gave away $4MILLION in one afternoon to folks on the street alone one Xmas eve. Plus he runs the Lotto etc. free plus much more. Max Scmelling litterally paid Joe Louis bills for year on end. Another great man inside and outside the ring... in very troubling times for him too. But make it very rich in industry etc.

Nice to remember Lennox, and what a great fellow and gentleman to boot he was as well as one of the top ten of all time without any doubt. hIS VARITY AND MONEY HE HAS GIVEN AWAY IS FORENOMINAL to say the least I think I would have gone and seen most 'Greats' without all the 'B/S'! Having said that my so called idol Ali I didn't a couple of years back, even though my nephew had bought the tickets (over £250) at Stoke because I wanted to remember him as he was, and not marr the sorryful desent he has fallen to healthwise.

Was very undecided till today. Chewed it over. Money of course bears a big %tage of whom and why opponents are picked. Who's last big pay day eh! So am pretty sure, and to put me money where me mouth is, I will bet on Hayes. Can't hurt what you can't hit, and very soul distoring to keeping missing and getting punished... Think a late stoppage for Hayes.. if not, then a good decisive points decision.

HE AFGHAN FOOTBALLER The Glasgow FC manager flies to Kabul to watch a young Afghani play football, is suitably impressed and arranges for him to come over. Two weeks later Liverpool are 4-0 down to Celtic with only 20 minutes left, the manager gives the young Afghani striker the nod and on he goes. The lad is a sensation, scores 5 goals in 20 minutes and wins the game for Rangers. The fans are delighted, the players and coaches are delighted and the media love the new star. When the player comes off the pitch he phones his mum to tell her about his first day in Scotish football. 'Hello mum, guess what?' he says 'I played for 20 minutes today, we were 4-0 down but I scored 5 and we won. Everybody loves me, the fans, the media, they all love me.' 'Wonderful,' says his mum, 'Let me tell you about my day. Your father got shot in the street and robbed, your sister and I were ambushed, gang raped and beaten and your brother has joined a gang of looters, and all while you were having such great time.' The young lad is very upset. 'What can I say mum, but I'm really sorry.' 'Sorry?!!! Sorry?!!!' says his mum,'It's your bloody fault we came to Glasgow in the first place!'

One must remember too, that very few birds fly inland to the very last. They are out at sea between 3 and 15 miles following the coast line in the main. The Grimsby, wash etc. and beyound before turning into flying over land.

They won't release - never have - if any East in wind. Used to say crap like 'They willget blown into mountains' till that became too ridiculed. But fact is the East coast boys complain so bitterly ... besides it is run by the East Coast boys, and hence why referred to as the East Coast Club. Mores the pity.

Sent you details.

Think I'd go for Frank Bristow's. Great set up, a home full of champions and great, very genuine fellow to boot. Of course depends on how far you wish to travel out from Peterborogh. Some great flyers there too.

A dog lover, whose dog was a female and "in heat', agreed to look after her neighbors male dog while the neighbors were on vacation. She had a large house and believed that she could keep the two dogs apart. However, as she was drifting off to sleep she heard awful howling and moaning sounds, rushed downstairs and found the dogs locked together, in obvious pain and unable to disengage, as so frequently happens when dogs mate. Unable to separate them, and perplexed as to what to do next, although it was late, she called the vet, who answered in a very grumpy voice. Having explained the problem to him, the vet said, "Hang up the phone and place it down alongside the dogs. I will then call you back and the noise of the ringing will make the male lose his erection and he will be able to withdraw." "Do you think that will work?" she asked. "It just worked for me," he replied.

A new car insurance law will come into effect today that will mean it will be illegal to own an uninsured car. As the law previously stood, uninsured drivers were only prosecuted if they were actually caught driving. The new rules will see motorists being prosecuted for the offence by simply owning a vehicle without insurance regardless of whether they drive it. Only if you declare the vehicle to be off road will you be exempt from the new rules. If you don't insure your car you could be faced with court action, a hefty fine or even have your car seized and crushed.

Uttley fantastic. Made others seem second rate. Can't recall ever any Brit doing as such.... very few, if any, other nation player either! Well done, makes us proud.

It was a small town and the patrolman was making his evening rounds.. As he was checking a used car lot, he came upon two little old ladies sitting in a used car.. He stopped and asked them why they were sitting there in the car or were they trying to steal it? ’Heavens no, we bought it.' 'Then why don’t you drive it away.' We can’t drive.' Then why did you buy it?' 'We were told that if we bought a Used car here We’d get screwed.... so we're just waiting.

Pigeons in the News by David Williamson Paris - Scientists at the National Center for Scientific Research in Paris recently concluded a study of urban pigeons in central Paris that has shown that birds with higher levels of the dark pigment melanin have stronger immune systems. By assessing the colouration and state of health of 195 free-living urban pigeons they found that darker pigeons had lower concentrations of blood parasites and that their immune systems responded faster to infection, than their pale feathered cousins. The team's research suggests that melanin-based colouration plays a role in sexual selection and the birds have evolved to produce higher levels of melanin to protect their immune system. It could also explain why there are higher populations of dark feathered birds in urban areas, where parasite prevalence is higher. New York - Researchers at the Center for Avian and Exotic Medicine in New York City are using pigeons to track the presence of high levels of lead in the environment. Studies have shown that roadway grit below and next to elevated painted steel trestles contain high amounts of lead, some more than three times EPA guidelines. It has long been known that lead exposure in young children can result in long lasting neurological damage leading to learning and behavioural problems. Pigeons feeding off the ground may ingest food particles contaminated with lead and while they can't transmit the lead the birds can act as surveyors of contamination providing scientists with an excellent way to track lead in the urban environment. Burnaby, B.C. - Burnaby City Council recently passed a motion denying Sergio Batista's request that the city amend its bylaws so that he could keep 10 pigeons at his residence. As reported earlier Batista, who had recently moved to the 8000 block 11th Avenue, Burnaby, was charged with misuse of property and told by city staff to get rid of his pigeons after they had received a complaint from a neighbour. Batista, with the support from members of the local pigeon racing club, had asked the city to vary the bylaw saying that he had lived and raised pigeons in other Lower Mainland communities without a problem. Kitchener, Ont.- The crown attorney handling charges against Arlan Galbraith, founder of Pigeon King International, the alleged ponzi scheme fraudster, has decided to consult with the complainants. Galbraith is scheduled to go to court on August 24th to face charges of one count of fraud over $5000 and four counts under various sections of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, the maximum penalties for which include both fines and terms of imprisonment. Police have estimated about 1000 people invested over $20 million in the failed scheme. The meeting between the crown attorney and anyone who provided a police statement in connection with the charges brought against Arlan Galbraith will take place on June 16th and will provide updates and a "possible resolution". Fredericton, N.B. - People in the Maritimes are being reminded not to attract pigeons after a young woman in Fredericton was recently blinded by a disease carried by the birds. In January, a 23 year old student at University of Kings College in Halifax contacted cryptococcal meningitis, a potential fatal lung disease which is carried in the feces of pigeons, and is now blind because of it. Pigeons are common on the Kings College campus despite efforts by staff to eradicate the birds. Halifax has a bylaw preventing people from feeding or doing anything to attract pigeons and Fredericton is drafting a similar bylaw.
