Is it, though? I mean, I get why it's an emotional choice... harkening back to the original Greek Olympics, etc. But who really does Pancrase? It's always been an oddball promotion. There's no governing body, no national organization. I mean, does Pancrase exist outside of Japan? The Shamrocks would be happy, though.
For the benefit of our American 2nd cousins.Soccer? Don't you mean football?
Don’t have that on Freeview…in Devon, anyway!
And it won’t now it’s been dropped by the IOC…I’m quite relieved to be honest.
Hey, there’s nothing wrong with them…my doctor said so!
I agree. And believe me, it's worse where I am. Television viewing in general out here, is thirty years behind the times.
You should see the coverage on the standard channels here... they pretty much only show the ones that the Aussies are competing in.

You don’t have the infidelity-encouraging, bed-hopping ‘Love Island’? You don’t have on-screen karaoke programmes (X-Factor, The Voice)?

They were excellent! Now, BBC science programmes are nebulous, present few facts and with, instead, Coxy staring meaninglessly into the middle-distance with his…’hair‘ and prominent overbite! As for ‘nature programmes’, I can’t watch animals being eaten by other animalsMy son in law is currently in the US, with racehorses (watch for the Godolphin colours, they've already won the Derby, the Irish Derby and a few more.
and yet I had no trouble removing a head, brain, heart or lungs from a cadaver for the purposes of teaching medical, dental and science students their human anatomy!
I'm in America watching it on the USA network and NBC.

Inside his brain, are you?This is why he was happy!
