    You're wrong on both counts.
    Firstly..There is a huge cost, social and financial associated with a large group misbehaving in a society.

    Secondly as regards there being not an iota you can do about it..as Homer Simpson would say " that's loser talk". :)

    Firstly I agree with you that the place to hit em is in the wallet.
    It's time to say to the feuding families:
    "feuding or funding folks....its your choice"
    If they continue ....starve 'em into submission. Tough love.


    As regards your funding problem..if you pm me all the details I'll see what I can do to help. I have some vague connections to that area of education/disability funding and at the very least I will try to advise you as best I can as to what you might do.

    Well if you don't need it then if you don't mind me saying so you're very naughty for applying for funding you don't need.
    Theres only so much in the kitty and someone else out there would genuinely need that money. (A very tiny drop in the ocean compared to the millions squandered on our feuding friends, I know). :lol:

    That said, my offer to help stands. Pm me anytime. If I can I will. :thumbsup

    Well you'll be seeing Andy and probably Spike too before too long for starters.

    I wouldn't call the Fury's Irish any way, they both fight for Britain. Plus Tyson kinda dropped the Irish act.

    One of the 'minor ******'s' told me on the night that it was a split draw.

    Remember Emile was one of the judges. At ringside I had him -2 and -1 for the deduction at the time of the stoppage. I watched it at home the next night and had it a draw but -1 for the deduction.

    Have you heard of the Irish-themed band called the "dropkick Murphy's"?
    Well the leader/lead singer is the guy that has stepped in to manage Spike. He us mid- 40s in age.
    He was previously involved with a boxer from Long Island, but other than that it seems he is a "hobby' manager, just doing it as a sideline. Anyway he probably has money and contacts, and lots of experience organising gigs, showbiz stuff, media, venues etc etc.
    Let's hope he can do the biz for Spike.
