Heading the ball in training to be banned.

I reckon it's only a matter of time before they go after boxing and manage to stop it.

Nice to see my old stomping ground has lost none of its genteel charm....

Boy, 16, arrested after two teens fatally stabbed in London
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-63777382

I used to live on Titmuss Avenue. It was shithole then, clearly it's a shithole still. My mum moved out many years back as there was a murder down the road and the perpetrator lived below her and a baying mob turned up with petrol bombs. And let's not the forget the time there was a lad hacked to death with an axe just behind our charming first floor maisonette.

Ahhh. South London....

Absolutely shocking, the state of London, in fact the whole country is getting so bad. Sadiq Khanage is doing a wonderful job.

My local was the Canterbury Arms in Brixton. One of the barman got sent down for the rape & murder of some old gal in her 80's. Kevin something, can't recall his last name, but his dad also worked at the pub. This would have been around 1980-83. Claimed he was shitfaced drunk & had no recollection of the attack. Having known the guy for a few years & seen his booze fueled rages it was possible.
