  1. Currently 39, I'm blaming my speakers
  2. Finished it, the main failure of this book is that for a boxing book it talks little of boxing but more of the moral story of Vinny's comeback and never give up attitude. Fights are described in very few details if they are any. . If you wanna read an uplifting story pick it up, if you're an hardcore boxing fan, save your money. Currently reading this Juliette by the Marquis de Sade Doing a Google search to find a proper image using words livre histoire de juliette marquis de sade 10/18, at some point I had a picture of an Hilary Clinton book
  3. Danny Devito Arnold Schwarzenegger Arnold the Pig
  4. Bill Walton Larry Farmer Keith Wilkes
  5. Never h(re)ad so far. Historical satyrs ? How do you like it ? Liked it a lot, he has a way of writing that is quite Americanized very punchy and despite the lenght of the book not too wordy, the narration is quite ironical but straight forward and the story is quite a wild ride, meeting a young Hitler, Sigmund Freud and a family who has a very special relation with religion, in terms of popular litterature you can do a whole lot worse than him. Will try to pick up his previous books. Now reading this Not exactly great litterature, but books about fighters are rather scarce especially if you take away subjects like Ali otr Tyson. Written by a close friend, it may be too hagiographic for its own good but it still is an entertaining book that tells the story of one of the last TV boxing Star, you know when boxing used to appear on regular networks.
  6. Mad Men episode 8 , season 1
  7. Yes/yes There are some comments in the film thread about it, nice hommage to Vertigo, could not help to think that the start is a dig at Titanic, as we see Dicaprio's character being seasick.
  8. Nigeria Afrobeat Special - CD Ghana Soundz - CD Album (SNDWCD001) Nigeria Rock Special - CD Album (SNDWCD011) Nigeria Special Volume 2 - CD Album (SNDWCD020) Ghana Special - Double CD Album (SNDW016) Nigeria Special - Double CD Album (SNDWCD009) All this for less than £60 ,postage included , looks good to me
  9. It's actually not bad either, since some are double cds , from my experience stuff out of the hit parade in Europe and UK is rather expensive, was expecting something like 15 to 20 pounds so for me the prices were a pleasant suprise , what will make the deal breaker is the quote for shipping.
  10. Is my brain going insane or are they selling this stuff at what equals 15 Canadian bucks
  11. I pity the hockey fans who will now have to go back to the crappy product offered by the NHL.
  12. Dick Vitale Jim Valvano Al McGuire
  13. Went out to see a movie this afternoon, managed to remain spoiler free about the result of the hockey game, planning to watch it tonight. A guy from an environmental group at the door while giving his sale speech actually asks me if the overtime is over thus ruining the game or at least the regular time Think, I'll go buy a fuckin' Hummer tomorrow.
  14. Blame Canada !
  15. Looking at past results , suprising results when the image is not available
  16. What the fuck did they do to Dee Dee ?
  17. Critics here saw it like you did, weren't that impressed by Clapton either.
  18. Well for starters the French and the old USSR one, , it is a question of taste but I also always get a kick listening to the Italian anthem which has little of the pump that these musical pieces usually have. The Canadian team has been on the schizophrenic side, so it's been pretty tough to know which team that will show up even in the same game, the dominant and motivated team of the first period or the "fat cat" one of the third. Agreed about the goaltender evaluation but no so sure it will make the difference. Collective play will do, the team that beat the Russia looked invicible, will this team show up ?
  19. Slovakian team was that close to send the game into overtime.
  20. Gerry Cheevers Phil Esposito Bobby Orr
  21. Short track speed skating is the kind of sport that makes the Olympics look idiotic. It is basically roller-derby on ice.
  22. Won't win any originality contest with this one, still another gem though.
  23. Was not error free but she did it, a bronze that is worth gold considering what happened to her.
  24. Care usually little about figure skating but the performance by the Korean girl was impressive even to someone who does not follow the sport, let's hope Joannie skates an error free program.
