Another day and more Herald Bombs…surely they will be now putting a bounty on the head of the next person who has a piece that appears on Whaleoil.

  I think you’ll find it was a deliberate attempt at irony, referencing the ‘alphabet soup’ nature of the many different boxing “organisations” currently going round.

    I am against the sport of boxing, or words to that effect.
    mmmmmm he might not like boxing, but his practice of wrestling with women is well documented.

      Kick boxing with the Veitch’s speciality.

A “Mammouth” is what Clare Curran opens every time she speaks.

It’s going to take two generations to sort out this spelling shit out.
Teachers are to blame, they just can’t fucking teach, end of story
