I sent a mail to their mail people.

i tried very hard to give back.

[bongthom]

they won't bother with you....i think they just want people to donate money to raise their share ratio. a new email addy is the way to go

did you clear your cookies so as they didn't recognize your ISP oir was it straightforward?

the downloads from that site were lightning quick.

[bongthom]

didn't bother clearing cookies. i was using safari before but switched to firefox........i tried to resignup to another MMA site but they booted me off straight away as a bad seeder

[Marmite the Dog]

I lost my favourites in firefox and can't remember its name.

Use Foxmarks then, you knob.

[ChiangMai noon]

^
you what?

twice my bookmarks have disappeared now.

it's why i'm giving opera a go.

[Marmite the Dog]

^ I use 3 PCs. All my bookmarks are synchronised and if I move to a new PC, I simply DL Foxmarks, log it on and it automatically updates my bookmarks. It's so simple, even the Welsh can manage it.

[ChiangMai noon]

^
just downloaded that add on.

doesn't explain why firefox keeps dissapearing my bookmarks.

it's a very common problem too.
I googled it.

have followed several tutorials and nothing works to retrieve them.

get your pet sheep to memorise them

Micheal Bisping On Fans At UFC 78: "They can go to hell."By Jason Perkins | November 20, 2007



At his UFC 78 post fight press conference Micheal Bisping addressed several questions. Below is his response to a question about the reaction of the crowd before, during and after the his main event match up with Rashad Evans provided courtesy of Mr. Sunshine, Steve Cofield:
"Umm...They can all go to hell (laughs). No, when I fight in England the crowd is always fantastic. Someone's always gonna get boo'd. Elvis Sinosic got boo'd and he's probably one of the nicest guys walking the face of the planet, you know what I mean? So, I don't mean to take that to heart...I think I maybe won the crowd around a little bit toward the end, but I don't take it to heart. Bisping was also asked if he thought he'd won the fight: "Yeah, I lot of people think I won it. The emails have already came pouring in saying 'Justice you loser.' and things like that, so I suppose some people might think it's poetic even though I still think I won the last fight and I think I won this one. It was a close fight Rashad did well, you know."

eyes averted

[ChiangMai noon]

4 days later and you havent watched it?????

forgot about the date until 2 days ago and had some problems with terrible download speeds.

finally got a good one from the piratebay, at least it was very quick, no more than a few hours.

I was right I bet.

it was a spoiler eh?

[bongthom]

It was a close fight

pity to leave a good thread go dead ya midget....not as if the rest of the forum is particularly interesting

[bongthom]

[ChiangMai noon]

^

[bongthom]

Serra Injured, Withdraws From UFC 79 Card

UFC President Dana White announced Thursday
that Matt Serra will have to withdraw from the UFC 79 card due to an injury he suffered after his training earlier this week.
The current UFC welterweight champion, who was scheduled to fight Matt Hughes at UFC 79, suffered a herniated disc in his lower back on Monday following a routine training session in his Long Island gym.
“This is devastating news because they were so looking forward to fighting each other, said White.
“Unfortunately injuries happen and I look forward to Serra recovering quickly, and to getting him back into the Octagon.”
Serra had just finished a Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling training session and was demonstrating a move when he became gripped with pain and fell to the floor. Serra went to the hospital and underwent an MRI, which revealed the herniated discs in his lower back.
“This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do,” said Serra. “I’ve never had a back injury before; I could hardly get off of the MRI table. There is no way I can train through this, and I’m devastated, especially because this was such an important fight. I was looking forward to fighting Matt Hughes. All my training was going phenomenally until Monday – All I can do now is to get better and to fight again as soon as possible.”

[bongthom]

so it's GSP vs Hughes for the next UFC....third time for those two boys but the real star match has to be between Wandy and the Iceman.


i was watching Inside MMA last night...seems Kurt Angle is now in training for MMA. all the pro-wrestlers are now following the almighty dollar back to the octagon

[bongthom]

i think it will be between the ginger farmboy and mac danzig now...

fights on tomorrow night too...i think danzig will take him but it will be very close

[ChiangMai noon]

^
decent prediction.

I'll go with the farmboy.

[bongthom]

prediction

you learnt that word from moi i presume?

[ChiangMai noon]

The season finale of The ultimate fighter 6 was absolutely superb.

Some of the guys that didn't look so great on the sow were magnificent.

"war machine versus J Roc" was one of the best fights I've ever seen, brutal and more.

The main event between Guida and Huerta was a fantastic spectacle also.

[bongthom]

absolutely superb

yup. just watched it now and was delighted with the action.

the actual finale between danzig and farmboy went as i thought it would with farmboy getting choked out....i defo think he will be back though.

interesting to hear danzig saying he's going down in weightclass! that should be a hell of a battle between him and Heurta!!!!

j-rock v warpath was a class battle and the huerta v guida fight was one of the modern great matchups

good to see the UFC can sort out a good card occasionally.

i also see that brock lesner is now fighting frank mir in UFC 81! mir was shite the last time i saw him.....a sacrifical lamb for the lesner beast?

[ChiangMai noon]

a sacrifical lamb for the lesner beast?

It could be.

I suspect he'll be paid well to throw it in any case.
