    I fancy a bash at this white collar business but its all for high flying city boys isn't it, doubt i'll have the money! I'm 24 like what would people advise for me to do to maybe get into a bit of sparring/training?

    Just turn up at the boxing club and have a go! Not everyone likes getting punched about the face, some guys leave the same night never to return, other guys get a buzz out of it and love it, go along and see which you are:good

    Cheers mate, to be honest i've done a bit of "sparring" with a mate of mine so know i dont mind taking a punch I do actually get a sort of buzz from it to be honest. I just wondered whether there was sort of a way to brush up a bit of skill (maybe those self teaching books or summat?) so I don't look like a total idiot being 24 and having no skill

    Mate just go down the gym :bbb Fitness first, you wont get a better workout regardless of your thoughts/wants/ideas (the gym you were first referred to,i couldnt think of a better one for you locally)

    Sorry to pitch this up but Dunky,i read this last night and hoped you found yourself a few quid for a bottle.

    Bitter

    Jaked

    Stuck


    P.S. your "all scottish and proud" **** is embarassing and aye am scottish ! Yes it actually is !

    Reilly i remember came on the boards, you jamp on him then you **** yersel,after a few choice words from him.

    The "noob" references/remarks are a **** weak retort(u use this a lot, yes others have too),get some balls or hold yer old mans


    Feel free to reply, i welcome it. I read tE S B morning noon and night( no not the off license dunky) and theres some great posters here, informative etc even the wind up merchants i love to read

    :thumbsup

    Hairy :deal

    Awright Hairy, Dunkys a good ****, just likes taking the **** out of a lot of guys, especially the english ones:yep I'm sure he will be on here soon enough, defending his corner, so to speak. But we can't have the scottish boys rounding on each other, not when there are so many english guys to round on:good

    Be prepared to be put in your place Hairy! I said similar things to Dunky when I first joined as I felt his fierce patriotism blinded him to certain facts....I then learned that much of what he said in regards to England was true!

    Sure he's a bit extreme, but the guy knows his stuff and is a good laugh to boot...and to be honest, his advice, whilst somewhat harsh, is pretty sound in this instance...

    He never insulted you though Reilly, so why did you feel the need to verbally attack him?

    Theres some weird **** going on here if you ask me.

    Don`t listen to them , mate. Clovie is a great gym and Rab is a good lad. My son trains there when he can get off his fat jeer. Its really friendly so just pop in any evening.
