    Everyone doing OK?

    Weirdly, i'm absurdly busy with work right now but I start "working" exclusively from home from Tuesday so i'll be on a bit more. Strange times we are living in and i'll bet that lots of peeps are spending more time on the forum now than they would be normally. Tempers might also be a bit more strained at the moment too with all the madness afoot but try to be nice. Let's not add to one another's level of stress when things are already a bit messed up.

    And don't forget the PM button. Anyone who wants to drop me a line for a chat is more than welcome to do so. If anyone else wants to sign up for a chat with their anonymous acquaintances on here, this is the place to do it. Try to be available for each other and please try not to dig each other out for a couple of weeks. No reason to be calling each other out on the internet when folks are actually dying from this bull**** ****ing disease.

    F*ck CV19. Which I hereby pronounce will take the life of no active boxer.

    Stay safe and watch your spacing, do it ESB style.

    I'm angry. I haven't seen a Marciano or Carnera thread for at-least 3 days.

    Other than that, still angry.

    The great crash of 2009 was in March and was of benefit to me in that I was finally able to get my Christmas decorations down.

    I have watched more boxing in the last week than I have ever done before. I feel like a supercharged nerd.

    Bin that gym for a spell cowboy, steer clear. I bought a cross trainer because i'm middle class as **** now, but what you should do is order up a copy of "Box Like The Pros" by Joe Frazier and become an absolute *master* of the floor exercises.

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Box-Like-P...OX+BY+JOE+FRAZIER&qid=1585509768&sr=8-1-fkmr3

    Stay out that gym.

    My wife and I are doing even more P90X workouts than ever. Doing shoulders and arms now.

    Besides that and chasing three little ones around and working from home I'm staying busy.

    But I'm basically antisocial so am uniquely suited for a long-term bunker-like thing. Not a problem so far.

    I'm essential, no life changes really which suck because I could use the spare time. Canceled my vacation, probably gonna have to cancel my wedding. Probably going to lose my both already ill grandparents. Such is life.

    Keep them safe, keep them shielded, you can only do your best. My pa is 71 and i'm just trying to keep the ****ing idiot out of the shops. He's taking to it now, i've started sending him things in the post.
