    Apparently 2 men from Essex managed to get their way into the arena for the Mayweather v Pacquiao fight by pretending to be part of Mayweather's crew. How on earth did they get away with that?

    Apparently they had purchased tickets in the cheap seats and just turned up to the venue dressed in the same training gear as the rest of Mayweather's crew.

    Amazing what approaching situations with confidence can do for you!

    Yep, that they did. They're from a talent management agency in Essex and I, indirectly, know them! Friend of a friend, sort of thing.

    Yeah, I think all hell will break loose in the last few episodes!

    If Manny Pacquiao did have a shoulder injury and didn't disclose it then he has cheated all his fans just to get the money for the fight!

    I watched the very first ever episode off CouchTuner and, in all honesty, I couldn't see what all the fuss was about. I shan't be going back for episode 2 unless someone tells me that the first one is truly a duffer and it only really gets underway later on.

    It's very good, although I have to say so far it's bearing very little resemblance to the Dance With Dragons book.

    OK, I will give it another go.

    On another series off Couch Tuner, I've been watching episodes of Schitt$ Creek [yes it is spelt like that] and it's a comedy about a very wealthy US family, who suddenly find that the valued financial advisor who has been dealing with all their family fortunes, has been sifting it away over the years, and they realise they suddenly have absolutely nothing as the bailiffs turn up to turf them out. It's not guffaw funny but it is amusing how they react to having to make the change from huge wealth to nothing. Their one salvation is a little town the father bought his son for a present [yes, a town] and they have to go and live there. It is considered totally worthless, which is why the IRS let them keep it. So they go and live rent free in a couple of the town's motel rooms. Now view on...

    BTW, I suspect it might be helpful if you have Ghostery and Ad Block [plus] or equivalent in your browser before going to that site. If you do you won't be bothered by the tiniest thing and you can get on with watching any TV series you find.

    A class action lawsuit against him was just announced. It'll go nowhere. Combat sports rely on fighters who will perform hurt. Everyone gets injuries in camp.

    It might not be for you TSS but I'd give it a few episodes to be sure. It hooked me right from the start but I know others who have taken time to get into it.

    In other news I just found out that someone got murdered a few houses away from me yesterday <yikes> I saw all the police cars but didn't know what it was all about at the time. My family were panicking this morning as the initial news was a currently unidentified man in his mid twenties was murdered on Malmesbury Road.

    Really? In that case I watched every episode available on Amazon Prime. Which was like 50 episodes.
