    Any body else's enjoyment of boxing on TV as a 'real time' sport messed about for saving wholesale shows on Sky Plus or similar and watching more recent fights whileb Paulie Malignaggi and similar slip down the stored list?

    I've still got Nikiosha v Marquez to watch still from several months ago and plenty of others since then still to watch and it means I have to skim BM and avoid boxing sites where might find out results.

    I reckon it might be time to bring in a rule - if I ain't watched it in a couple of weeks, delete.

    I sky plussed the haringey box cup at the weekend cos a mate was fighting and the show overran so the recording stopped, I spent 3 hours watching waiting to see the fight and just my luck my mates fight was in the overrun part, gutted!

  13. You do know that before Sky+ there was this invention called the video recorder, right?

    What exactly was the purpose of this ancient technological device?
     
  15. Well, I used to record stuff like the A-Team and Knight Rider with a view to watching them at a later, more convenient time.

    I still had Fall Guy episodes to watch still from several months ago and plenty of others since then still to watch and it meant I had to skim the Radio Times and avoid the youth club where might find out what happened.

    I reckoned it might be time to bring in a rule - if I ain't watched it in a couple of weeks, record over it with the Dukes of Hazzard.
