Not remotely credible. Smug strutting, imo, confirmed rehearsal. One day the truth will come out and all you guys will bow at my feet in grovelling apology (though I promise I won't punch anyone....OK maybe Palfy but nobody else). fuck me I feel like marked man, do I need grovel now for mercy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, tickets for his upcoming comedy shows have reportedly skyrocketed in Sunday's aftermath. One live event ticketing site, TickPick, said on Monday that it sold more tickets the previous night than it did in the past month combined. A spokesperson also told CBS that prices for an upcoming Rock show on Wednesday in Boston rose from $46 (£35.16) to $411 (£314). More than half of all ticket sales for Rock's tour - which went on sale a month ago - came after the incident at the Oscars. The vast majority - 88% - of ticket sales for Rock's shows on the website over the last week came after the incident." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It obviously pays to be bitch slapped from an actor who played Ali, even if he didn’t learn how to throw a decent right punch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunlopp9987 Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Just watched the first part of the new Netflix doc about Jimmy Savile. I'm not quite sure how I've made it these 35 years and never heard about this, nor even really heard about him in general. I'm sure I heard about the news in 2012 when it broke, but I obviously didn't pay too much attention to it. Part one doesn't get into any horrific details, but I'm sure part two will.

Based on the reach of the vile piece of shit I’m surprised half of us never encountered the ghastly twat. goes to show the amount of respect people give to money and power. There is a podcast done by James English where he talks about this to a police man who quits frankly is a hero. I’ll link it in the edit. People need to watch this stuff to be aware of the need to be vigilant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Not putting this in sport because I don't consider horse racing to be a sport, it exists purely as a means to gamble....but, watching the grand national coverage (for the first time in many a year) on ITV; car crash television, embarrassing presenters.

It’s like the BBC are just relying on it’s Iconic status to keep it current instead of good writing and a healthy budget for special effects and good filming, now I realise for a lot of Dr Who fans that is part of the charm of it, but not for me.

Been downhill since Russell T Davies/David Tennant left really, 2009/10; Davies is now back and Tennant rumoured to be coming back as well, so I'm cautiously optimistic.
