  1. I would agree, I only just started to get in to it which is strange as I've always liked boxing and was training in Muay Thai but continually tried anf failed to get in to MMA/UFC due to finding the wrestling and ground work boring, however I'm looking at it a different way now, actually watching videos on that stuff to try get more used to it so I can appreciate the fights.  I watched the Mcgregor fight, I was delighted that he got dominated, causing him to tap, Khabib is a different sort of animal one that can wrestle on a whole different level to anyone else, I also enjoyed the Ferguson fight, he's a beast that hopefully gets a shot a Khabib.

     

     

     

    Well said mate UFC once you get into it that sport then becomes compulsive viewing ..

    I'm with you all the way.

     

    Not sure about that last quote though. :D

  2. Bonobo is a great Vegan place, but the downside for me is that it is fairly small, but their food selection is great and tasty.

     

    DO you ever try the one on Thistle Street Buc, FoodStory?  Keen to hear your thoughts on that one.

     

     

    Extremely busy at lunchtime full of office types .

     

    Can be on the expensive side .

    Go there often about a year ago we ordered a curry the waitress carrying it splattered it all over my suit and the wife and daughter hair best laugh we ever had even the lass playing away on the piano got some .

    They offered to dry clean my clothes and give us our meals for free .

    But turned it down because without that happening we would never had such fun .

     

    Was like a scene out of laurel and Hardy. Brilliant night.10/10.

     

    The food is very good in food story but its much better in bonobos as they are 100% vegan.

    There's also a food story opened up in Aberdeen uni.

    I'm taking my running mates of 30 years out on Friday lunchtime to food story as they slag my vegan diet . I'm hoping they see its not all leaves and the food is tasty they don't know it yet as its a secret escape .

  3. Blessed with good coffee shops / cafes here in Wellington.  One of my favourites being scorchorama in Scorching bay.  View across the bay and watch the interislander sail past.

     

     

    Do you live in Wellington very nice .

  4. For me UFC is the fastest growing sport in the world .

    Its a sport that has moved on in the last 20yrs to the masses world wide selling out areas everywhere .

     

    These guys are the best trained athletes in the world training up to  3 times a day for the different events of MMA .

     

    They also don't give up easily .

    The rise of this sport has been made possibly due to boxing losing its world class heavyweights over the years causing the sport to lose its appeal ..

     

    Just my humble opinion I'm open to other peoples opinions .

  5. What do Vegan's taste like?

     

    Just love that soup from that coffee shop at the top of the spital .

    You should try some DD. :laughing:

     

     

     

     

    I know I'm asking someone who should know  ;) ;)

  6. I'm a European citizen, just the way I like it.

     

    Some English fascists think that they have the power to take that away from me.

     

    They haven't.

     

     

     

    Just like you mate I'm not British I'm Scottish that's also European and proud of it.

  7. Great programme started on BBC4 last night about the history of Vietnam. iPlayer it. It's a series.

     

    Talking pf stereotypes, the journalist and one of the US vets nailed it. Every fight that the US got involved in was meant to be the good fight, the default position that the USA were always on the right side. As they acknowledged, and as ALL the Vietnamese vets said, the yanks kept on killing the wrong people, slaughtering hundreds of thousands of innocent villagers and indiscriminately wiping out children.

     

    And they wonder why they are despised throughout the planet.

     

     

     

    Very much like Westminster then . :hammer:

  8. Didn't they make you kneel on pencils because of your spelling at primary school min?

     

    Good to see you back here min.

     

     

    Aye its good on here but not too many disagreements which I like.

     

    Unionists disappoint me . more because they don't see things my way.

    :dunno:;D

  9. BBC Scotland news is full of unionist old croanies reading the news /VIEWS.

     

    It needs updated throughout.

     

    And best of all some passionate younger folk.

     

    These news readers are now dinosaurian.

     

    Only my view though. ::)

  10. Spurs about 15 years ago.

     

    Middlesbrough's 1974 on trial

     

    Madrid

     

    Bayern Munich .

     

    Barcelona.

     

    Valencia .

     

    Real Murcia.

     

    Cartagena.

     

    Burgos  fc.

     

    Newcastle united.

     

    Tottenham.

     

    Ajax.old and new.

     

    Fc Bruge.

    Quite a few I suppose. 

     

  11. First of all MMA is the fastest growing sport in the world ..

     

     

    For me its also the best sport anywhere .

     

    They truly are  gladiators with many skills required to compete at the highest level they also don't hide from any fighter .

     

    Unlike boxing these fighters train up to 6 hours a day and when in the octagon they don't give up like some boxers do.

     

    If you haven't seen it watch some of the live events on BT sports .

     

    Even some of the woman are huge draws like Rhonda Rousey or even the Preachers Daughter they have even been the Co Main Event of the evening sadly woman in boxing have up to now not been the main event .

     

    But will say this you aren't as good as you were in any sport at the age of 40.

    VO2 max reduces by then which means you are not so fit .also speed starts to go then too as mine did during my road racing days.

     

    McGregor isn't as good or as fast but he's younger and will last the pace if he doesn't get hit too much.

    He will also have that punchers chance Connor can punch make no mistake of that.

    I would love to see UFC come away with a win as boxing isn't what it once was a look at the heavyweight division tells you that.

     

    Remember the day .

    Ali

    Foreman .

    Norton

    Spinks

    Larry Holmes.

    Ernie Shavers

    Sonny Liston.

    Floyd Patterson.

    People are now turning their backs away from boxing and tuning into UFC there's no turning back. :dunno:

     

    Fight fans now are looking for more.

  12. ACH eastie is only a young lad.

    He posts on the other Scotland board he's a good one over on there.

     

    I like the loon to be fair.

    He once gave me amazing advice on one of the best coffee shops I'd ever been too.

    Grateful for that.

    Me n coffee are a must we the odd Fundy piece.

     

    ::)

  13. The odd Jute (and they are odd) Motherwell or real St.Mirren fan wouldn't go amiss.

    You would be pushing it with the Tims though and Huns are a no go area for me.

     

     

    Has that Scotland board spontaneously combusted yet?

     

    Sadly a few Rangers fans one Dundee fan and a coup!e of Hearts have started a new board DD similar to the other board tbh its weakened the other Scotland board a we bit.

  14. Grammar nowadays

    Lack of numeracy skills

    Huns

     

     

    Grammar is nt evryting its the person posting that's more important.

    Never judge people on th  eir  grama .

    Or even slag folk they can't spell I admitttt my spelling is not good but I only noticed how bad it was when I joined the Abmad  footie forum in the early days for example there n their . :hammer::thumbsup:

  15. I quite like dialogue with other supporters as long as we don't get this we love the union bests n god save the queen or rule Britannia.

     

    :hammer:

    But I don't really have problems with other fans it adds to the board.
