Gonna try and flirt my way in to a lockin for it because boxing is too boring to watch on your own or sober.

This didn't work. Streaming it is.

Anybody else up?

Rjd2

I'l be up for it.

Sorry but I can't understand how anyone can root for a guy with so many cases of domestic violence on his cv.

Lets go Manny.:)

Do expect Mayweather to win though in what will probably be a dull fight.:(

Pac hates gays or at least "disputes gay marriage". The both have personality flaws in fairness.

Yeah he is not perfect either, but much lesser of 2 evils I think.

For sure.

Reckon Mayweather but can see it going the distance.

Yeah think that to, the bookies have Mayweather by points very short, 1/1 top price, no thanks.

Saw somewhere you could get odds on Pac at 8/1 if you were a first time better. Crazy.

Probably only allowed to win 50 quid, which I suppose is fair enough. They'd be fooked if they allowed you to win more.:P

I'l have this bet though. :P

Proper heel heat hate for Floyd.

Diabhal Beag

People pretending it was a tactical thriller

Stereomaniac

Well given what I read about it on Entertainment and Twitter, I don't think I'll bother watching.

Thoughts on Mayweather/Pacquiao:

I thought Manny took the fight to Floyd, but yer man's like the Chelsea of boxing, just a tight defence so there wasn't much action; but he did get a few blisters of punching; Manny had more 'important' landing punches (highlighted by the between-round replays). Mayweather boxed a winning game according to how Boxing is scored; throwing/landing more punches overall. Really cautious and reserved match, didn't like Money's Randy Orton headlocks to píss off Pacquiao. Overall quite disappointing but hey. The Showtime guy said it correctly, there wouldn't be any desire for a rematch. Would've liked Manny to win after Mayweather made them wait for Pacquaio to be out of his prime and with his huge list of demands.

Indeed, real top guy and class act is John Terry.

It totally makes up for calling Rios brother something naughty a few years back.

Brought the dog a ice cream cone this evening after a visit to the vets. He really enjoyed it. Not something I would normally buy

On a hot day, it may be tempting to share your ice cream cone with your dog. But if he could, he'd thank you for not doing so. Milk and milk-based products can cause diarrhea and other digestive upset, as well as set up food allergies (which often show up as itchiness).

My dog loves milk. I dont give it to him that often mind. But he shows no bad effects afterwards that i notice.

Plus he loves the occasional Loop da Loop ice lolly.

Probably does depend on the dog, but any time my dog has any milk he gets the runs.

It should also be known that dogs are superior to cats in every way.

cats are assholes.

My dog loves loads of stuff apparently bad for her (Milk, biscuits, taytos...or anything anyone is eating) but is spoilt rotten. Last night she had pork steak for tea & she has blankets/cushions in her basket. Lol

What about Catdog!

Oh damn it, now I have the catdog theme stuck in my head.

Mr.Nice Guy

Since the topic is on dogs, how do people feel about getting a dog neutered? Does it drastically alter the pet's personality?

It's been suggested for our family dog and I have been arguing against it (to be honest that episode of Family Guy where it was suggested for Brian has come to mind :pac:), but I've had a few people tell me I'm stupid to make it into a big deal as it settles down dogs and makes them less frantic etc.

Anyone got any thoughts?

gimmick

Made no difference to my fellas personality. He was wild beforehand and is still afterwards.

Benfits imo are
1. One less area where your dog can get a disease or infection causing vet visits or worse

2. No surprises ie if its a boy yuo can leave him off the lead so he can run wild free from the fear he humps some precious pedigree and you have an angry owner shouting at you for their dog being defiled. Same if you have a girl dog, you can let her run free on the beach or where ever knowing that even if some randy pup decides to have a go, you wont have 10 new family members in a few months,

Negatives
1 - sending you poor dog to have his balls chopped off

There are neutering nazis out there as well though who would say you are satan for even considering no neutering your pet.

A Brad Maddox Guy

My dog is an absolute pain when she's in season so this has reminded me I must get her neutered. I don't think neutering is that big a deal for a male dog as long as he's not allowed to go off roaming on his own but for a female I don't think I could put up with her trying to hump my arm off for 3 weeks every year.
