Nah, dentist took pity on me and saw me at 3.30
Bret Hart:
It is with great remorse that I feel compelled to speak truthfully to my friends, family and my millions of fans around the world. In the past few years, Iāve spent more than enough time paying the price for all those years trying to be the best there ever was as a professional wrestler. I executed excellently and my proudest claim was that I never seriously hurt or injured another wrestler in my 23 year career. Iāve paid a price for all that āfakeā wrestling. Aside from a devastating career-ending concussion and numerous surgeries when I was younger, in recent years Iāve had two knee replacements, two hernia operations, surgery on my right elbow, and, just a few months ago, I underwent a four-corner fusion of my right wrist that even now makes it most difficult to write or type.

I now face my toughest battle. With hesitation and fear, I openly declare myself in my fight against prostate cancer. In the next few days, I will undergo surgery with the hope of defeating this nemesis once and for all.
My fans have always looked upon me as a hero and Iāve always done my best to live up to that in and out of the ring. I beat the odds when I suffered my stroke in 2002, but it is now yet again, that I draw upon the many adults and young children Iāve met throughout my life who courageously fought and usually lost in their battles against this deadly disease. One year ago, I watched a brave young man named Whesley fight brain cancer to the end. If I can find even an ounce of his courage to stand unafraid and face the tough road ahead of me, I will march toward this destiny with his spirit chanting in my ear.
I make a solemn vow to all of those that once believed in me, the dead and the living, that I will wage my fearsome fight against cancer with one shield and one sword carrying my determination and my fury for life, emboldened by all the love thatās kept me going this long already. Love is my weapon and Iāve got much of it around me all the time, for which Iām truly blessed and eternally grateful. My children, grandchildren, and my loving wife Steph have been and will constantly be at my side. I refuse to lose, I will never give in or give up, and I will win this battle or die trying.

Frank Bruno intending to fight again at the age of 54. FFS, what is it with geriatrics who once boxed? What are they trying to prove?

Surely he can get a gig in a panto somewhere, heāll end up dead sooner than he would have otherwise if he fights.
I like what Nigel Benn is doing over here, using boxing to work with disadvantaged kids. I hope to fuck he doesnāt go back to pro fighting.
Even at 54 heās probably better than whatās out there these days
Well, yeah, thereās that.
Ah WTF is going on with that Fagan. Looks like a plaster job gone badly wrong. Some fella thought it would be a hip feature no doubt.
Iād say itās a designer feature. Maybe itās a Wexford thing.
a nouveau riche look where you still cant afford the stone but can afford a tile that looks like the stone
fuck me thats disgusting the architect and the developer should be shot.
Itās for sale again in the latest Allsop auction.
It looks fuckin horrendous no wonder it hasnt been sold
Its not even worth the match to burn it to the ground.
Mahon & Fox in Wexford were the architects, I know of the lad who did that design too. Hideous shit. Think that was done around 2006 or 07.
I just had my third shit of the day.
There might have been more of a Panang in that curry than you bargained for.
