    The most amazing thing about this is, I had no idea Tony Madigan was engaged to Dawn Fraser, Bob

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Because the thread is about boxers, and not tosspots.

    No that was Jimmy Carruthers.
    Jimmy wasn't a big bloke but there were always big burly hero's wanting to take him on.
    The price of fame.

    That's right, Carruthers was a wharfie , & the Bells was a wharfie pub. I had many a beer in there [after Carruthers left] wasn't as rough as the Rockers next door, the Bells would raffle meat trays, the Rockers raffled prostitutes. No one would believe some of the stories that came out of the Rockers, now it is a yuppie pub, probably just as well, Bob
