    His story hardly sounds like bullying, more sort of half the kids on the estate wanting to beat him up...

    If he is going to speak out about "bullying" though, that can only be a good thing.

    I suppose one has to say keep it up... good work...

    Anyone remembers Lennox stories about being bullied in Canada's schools about his british accent ?

    That's preposterous...

    I reckon he did some bullying on his own, then kids took notice of his british accent and gave him back his medecine.

    Lennox Lewis was a bully in school, also Frank Bruno was a bully, also Nigel Benn made all the kids in his school bring 50p in on his birthday.

    Why not read my prior posts to determine what my point is?I've made it clear that im highly sceptical of celebrity bullying stories after reading such a disproportionate amount of them.
    I havent attacked Joe,just that ethos.
    I cant see why its such a sacred cow to you.

    So what?

    You just read too much celebrity nonsense by the sounds of it.

    If you weren't attacking Joe then you'd have been better keeping it shut, to be honest.

    I hadn't realised you'd missed out an 'o'. You've misunderstood, i meant another popular thing many celebrities claim to have overcome is being dyslexic.
