I just farewelled a friend who is off to Aoteroa (The Land of them Long White Cloud) it was a surprise as i was meant to go out last night but was caught in Manly (in the Steyne-but thats another story;-) Sometimes a journey involves more than merely travelling distances and I beleive the greatest adventure is the one which you take within yourself. Take it easy and be happy, Jp ... read more

"Ladies and Gentleman i would like to announce the main event , this is the essence of what it is to be a true champion as the Undisputed Superlight Weight Champion of the World , Kostya Tszyu takes the contender Ricky Hatton in a bout to show who is best - no excuses!" I will be in the pub (The Old Crown or wherever its on) watching this one closely as it will be pure boxing the moment these two step in the ring. I remember playing basketball with him and Johnny Lewis among other boxers as they used it as a warm down (we were struggling to keep up with them) @ Newtown PCYC when it was still around. The games were quite physical but played in good spirit-always , as Kostya and Johnny are ... read more
