BLUEBLOOD · Oct 11, 2011

David Haye has allegedly told the BBBC that he doesn't wish to renew his license and thus is announcing his retirement 2 days before his 31st birthday, or just as he has always maintained

While SSN were breaking the story Vitali Klitschkos promoter phoned up to reveal he and Adam Booth are in negotiations for a fight in February or March

Unlikely for me - as I'd sooner stab my eyes out with a fork than watch Strictly Come Dancing.

I actually find the mere concept of that programme unnerving: it's like some 1984 style dystopia - how do they know so many of my dislikes? Someone's come up with a list of really **** things and combined them. What would make a really **** programme - watching people dance. How could we make it *******? I know let's dumb it down by using celebrities instead of good dancers to make sure it's an even ******* version of something already ****. Hmm, but we can make it worse yet - let's make them dance slow so that the agony lasts longer. I'm guessing the presenter is unnecessarily camp, they fawn over the celebrities and they have numerous "coming up next" where they pad it out by showing you the same clip for the 4th time.

About the only thing I can think of that might actually be worse is wannabe celebrities doing karoake covers, but it's a close thing.

If I was Hay I'd take my chances in the boxing ring. At least then he'll only end up a brain-dead vegetable if he loses, rather than something like Strictly which is so stupifyingly dull that it'll turn you into a brain-dead vegetable win or lose.
