@Teso dos Bichos Tech N9ne is a beast and his verse on that is fire.

Joe Louis was that level before they were.

I only brought up the past as Tesito said Wilder was on the level of Ali and Tyson .

The heavyweight division is terrible these days to be honest and I wouldn't rank anyone currently as being up there with the likes of Joe Louis, Ali and Tyson. But what I would say is that both Fury and Wilder atleast give it some spark. For the record though, Fury should have won that fight and it's not all about knockdowns. I've never been bought on Joshua. Very overrated. The best British boxer from my time was probably Lennox Lewis, although the most exciting was easily Prince Naseem Hamed. The only downside to him is that once he lost his first fight(to Barrera) he just disappeared from the scene and never fought again. This isn't an attitude to have as all great fighters lose and he could have continued a legacy rather than gone out in that manner.

Seriously Ghetts is up there with the best. Completely original, lyrically brilliant when rapping, great over grime beats, he's the perfect UK MC really. @Teso dos Bichos @SirBalon, @Bluewolf I bet Balon is thinking "Why was I quoted in here? get me out"

Or bring on Arturo Vidal when you need to shape up a midfield.

I read a report that Barcelona still want Willian in January? Surely rubbish? Messi, Suárez, Dembélé, Griezmann, Carles Pérez, Ansu Fati.. Thst is a ridiculous amount of attacking talent. In fact I'd say Barcelona have as strong a group of players all over the park as anyone and the only real things holding this group back is a coach who can be rather ordinary and injuries. The only player I'd say was needed though is a left back to fill in for Alba. This is why Cucurella shouldn't have been loaned out. It would have been a perfect opportunity for him right now. Semedo could then be moved back to his strongest position at right back, where he is clearly far more comfortable. Strong squad though, I genuinley wouldn't swap it for any other in Europe overall and don't regard the personnel as being a problem. @SirBalon

@CaaC (John) Speaking of animals on the decrease, you never see Hedgehogs anymore, but when I was walking up my Nan's street last night on my way to her house, I saw one walking just near her street. Seeing them used to be quite a common sight, whereas I can't remember that last time I had seen one until the other day.

This latest episode was class. @Teso dos Bichos Power in general is not quite as good as it was though. I think this season has been the worst so far as it's become soppy at times. Kanan Stark(50 cent) should never have been killed off either.

I hated it when I got sweets, I only wanted the money myself

A photo of Battle Abbey(that I took when down South), which was built on the site where the battle of Hastings in 1066 took place.

I wouldn't mind going to Portugal myself as I've never been, which is surprising since it's only a few hours away and would be up my street. Lisbon itself would be great I reckon. I've also heard many great things about Hamburg. I know a fella who has travelled everywhere and he says Hamburg is his favourite city. I've been to Barcelona before but not on my own, although I'd get by easy there. I was supposed to go fishing in France(10 hour drive!) next Sept, which was decided when down south last month, although my mate has landed himself in some financial troubles so that might not happen now. If not, that frees up more time and money to get a few more trips in. You're not wrong about things quickly changing. They very nearly did this year as I started getting close with a bird who I met back in late May when I was working at the uni. It didn't work out as planned in the end though as she moved away working to the other side of the country about 4 week ago(which I knew was coming) and long distances don't work for me, so an emotional discussion and that was that. But it does show how quickly things can change and plans can change. You're better off just being a bit spontaneous and deciding at the last minute at times.

"Bad Blood". Just came across this now on netflix and it seems like my type of series. It's about one of Canada's biggest crime bosses, Vito Rizzuto, and I was impressed by the first episode. Good acting and is based on true events, which always make the gangster genre better. Also looks up your street @Bluewolf, @Teso dos Bichos

I just had it out for the first time and it was flying around everywhere going wild. I had my head in my hands thinking that a disaster was going to happen, but it wasn't crashing into anything fortunately and kept landing on alsorts. I then had the dilemma of getting it back in the cage, although luckily it just flew in on its own accord. I've only had it 3 days though so it needs time to settle. The only human hands it has seen so far are when they are grabbing it and putting it in a box. It's not hand tame and will take a few months for me. I can tame budgies in days(as I did when younger) but these are more like bigger parrots in their character and are stubborn. It's settling, hasn't stopped eating and is making more noise all the time(which are good signs), but actually getting it to trust you might be harder than I'd have liked. Then again, 3 days is nothing and in 3 weeks there could already be a huge change. It is only a baby so it's far from untameable.

Excellent photography, I need to take you fishing with me so the pictures actually come out great without my mate's fingers poking out on the side of the screen and missing half my head out... They wouldn't look out of place on some holiday website as advertisements. They make the scenery stick out and do it justice.

I was going to go to Barcelona and Taragona this summer mate but ended up spending a lot on my fishing trips and bought new rods, reels, etc. I was down in the South east with my mate for a week fishing(which was already planned since last year), did another 3 day session down in the midlands and a bunch up north. But I will go somewhere next year definitely. There is also still time to do a cheeky 2/3 days somewhere before the end of this year as well. Maybe December. Reason I've been to Amsterdam 3 times this year(well one of the times was actually last December) is because when I first ever went back in 2007 I never truly got to see the city as I went for sensation white and that was pretty much the whole trip then when I went in December last year with the lads, we just got wrecked and I felt as though I still hadn't truly seen the city properly. This is why I then went back in February and again in April. I thought they were great trips, it was the first time I've been abroad on my own and I got to see literally everything in the city pretty much. I'll go back of course, but since I've been 3 times in the last 9 months, I'm less arsed about returning right now. You spend shitloads in such a short time. It is the perfect city to travel to if you're going on your own though for me as you meet people so fucking easily and the crime rate is very low. Going away on my own has also set the tone. It's better in some senses than going away with the lads(as there is always one who ruins it) or with a woman(arguments start or you have to mainly do what they want), but on your own it's amazing. It has set the tone now. I'm going to do a few more trips to different cities in Europe then probably fuck off somewhere like Mexico or the USA for a few weeks in the coming years. I've just bought a parrot though now, so I'll have to work out how I can make sure that is looked after whenever I go away anywhere as they are a big commitment to be fair. Yeah when I was a kid and would go away with the parents, they would always use the likes of Thomas Cook, but as you say, that was before the internet was a big thing. You're better off avoiding them nowadays. The reason they'll have gone bust in the first place is due to these reasons also.

Definitely took that picture about 18 times until he got it right I bet as well.... Nah, class pics mate. It makes me want to fuck off there now. Looks lovely. On another note, Thomas Cook have gone bust leaving 600,000 people stranded on holiday. Wow.

I nearly bought a Conure from a local pet shop, but it was 12 month old, you want them younger than that. Not to mention, they are too small and I wanted something bigger. Ringneck parakeets are about the perfect size. They aren't too big like a Macaw or a Cockatoo, while not too small like a Budgie, Cockatiel or Conure. To be honest though, it's not always about size, I mean budgies are some of the most fun pets you can get. Anyway, this is it:- It just needs to settle now for a few days, then I can let it out a bit and enable it get used to its new(and much larger) environment

Yeah that's the place mate. There are 3 pet shops in Warrington I think but that was the only one that sell ringneck parakeets.

I've just bought an Indian ring neck parakeet. I will get a good picture of it when its settled down. It'll have to stay in the cage for a few days but then once I get it settled and tame, I will leave the cage open at all times(with perches and shit all over for it) then it can just fly around freely in the room. They aren't unsafe by doing that and will go back into their cage at night and not move when it's dark anyway. I don't think a bird's cage should ever really be locked once one is settled. It's great either way, pretty little thing with a big red beak. It looks as though it could be a male as well as a ring is forming around its neck, although it's not certain yet. I had to go all the way to Warrington for it @DeadLinesman It was from a pet shop that also sells exotic animals. It was quite cramped in there, but very clean and all the animals looked in great condition. The blondie who worked in there was fucking banging as well. Do you know her by any chance? It's a decent town to be fair, plenty there and cleaner than most towns in the North West. I've always been quite fond of Warrington. I was thinking of getting one(a parrot) from Burnley, but it'd have probably had 3 legs or summet.

Ghetts still doing his thing. Top Boy(you have to watch that @Teso dos Bichos) has some great tunes on it.
