got up at 2am to pre-order a 256gb iPhone 7 plus, might get it before bonfire night if I'm lucky.
Let the hating commence.

I've just received the Android 7.0 update. If any iOS users want to know what's coming their way in 2018, just give me a shout.
Viruses and malware I presume?

Awesome show ! love it.

If you want to install a new build on your Firestick do you have to uninstall the previous build or will a new build go right on top?

Replaced my Nest thermostat with one of these, far better IMO, HomeKit/Siri compatible.

I've avoided the result and just watched it there this morning. Dead close but I thought you could argue that McGregor won 1, 2 and 4 but if the decision had gone to Diaz it wouldn't have been a huge surprise at all.
McGregor's cardio was the big story though. If his plan was to wear Diaz down, which it looked and sounded from his corner like it was, he needs to do a lot better than looking paggered by the end of the second round. Especially seeing as he'd largely just been dictating and landing relatively easily to that point. Weird. I don't know if it's harder to maintain cardio and the heavier weight or something.
I think McGregor's immediate reaction, that a 3rd fight would have to be a lighter weight confirms this.
I wish I had a better understanding of how UFC fights are scored, when Diaz had McGregor pinned up against the octagon, how does that score? presumably that is Diaz being the aggressor, and if thats an element of scoring in Diaz's favour, then I'd say that further backs up the argument that Diaz was the winner.
Either way it was a great fight and clearly close, and if McGregor getting the nod of the judges means we get to see them fight again, then I have zero complaints.

Be interesting to see how many fighters now try to take him to the 3rd round and finish him once he's fucked. His cardio must be shit to be struggling after 10mins. None of that was in the clinch or on the floor either
Diaz is a middle of the road fighter at 170lb and if McGregor fought Lawlor or Woodley he would be murdered. He should either defend the 145lb belt or have a shot at Alvarez at 155lb
Judging by McGregor's comments after the fight, that a 3rd fight with Diaz would need to be at 155lbs, it would seem that he agrees with you.

the take down for Diaz at the end edged it for me, it was clearly close, and I won't argue the first two rounds were clearly McGregor's but I felt Diaz took the last three, certainly I think if that third round had been 20 seconds longer he'd have knocked McGregor out.
McGregor was always going to get the benefit of a Las Vegas decision, he has the "Mayweather" luxury it seems.
Cracking fight though, a great example of UFC for non UFC fans, certainly from the boxing community.

Not sure if its time for a specific UFC thread but did anyone see the Diaz vs McGregor rematch?
Thoughts on the decision?

Just started watching "the night of" on HBO, only two episodes in but its a cracker so far, was meant to be James Gandofini's last work, John Tutturo plays the lead in his place.

Incredible that it's taken this long.
The land of the free....

should be a good fight, certainly a classic Boxer vs fighter match up.

thanks Graham Carr, another phenomenal piece of business.

He's a fucking walking train-wreck.

I handed down my previous Xbox One to my step kid, I didn't need much of an excuse to get one but its not much of an upgrade in all honesty if you don't have a 4K display, it looks a hell of a lot nicer and certainly the extra storage comes in very handy especially as I try to avoid games on disc.

Just upgraded !

Its got a touch of the Oswald Mosley's about it

When I first heard they were remaking it for an American audience I thought it would be a disaster, but I think its a rare remake that is better than the original.

is this finally the moment trump will struggle to recover from?
I sadly doubt it, the same mentality of people who shrugged at Sandy Hook, the typical Trump voter won't give a flying fuck.

Anyone seen the recent Jim Jeffries on Netflix?
Nails it once again!
Freedumb?
I liked it but I think its his weakest special so far.

I still can't make up my mind about this fight, logic tells me that GGG is going to pulverize him but there's a nagging doubt that with a home crowd behind him, Brook might be able to out-box him, if he can do the "Mayweather" routine, he might surprise people.
