    The Tyson-Douglas fight is a corker, innit?

    I'm just trying to transfer it from VHS now, but I'm getting a software glitch which is a pain.

    However (okay, I know I'm talking about a fight that's fifteen years old) but isn't it the absolute DBs?

    ya, that was a good one. I only saw it for the first time about 3 or 4 years ago, it was an incredible sight. At the time tyson was like a little boxing god but he was thrown from his throne (non pun intended). Im not sure what DBs means, but if it means something like a kick ass fight, than I agree....Rockin'

        Wow I can honestly say Ive never heard that sayiong before so it must not be a common saying outside of the U.K...but does it mean something is good or bad?

            Nah, I think it's just the UK... and (correct me fellow Limeys if I'm wrong) mainly from the East End of London. You'll probably hear it in cod-****ney films like Snatch.

                Sorry, it's good. I don't know why a pair of dog's testicles should be a good thing, but I don't make the rules...

                    I'd guess something exciting enough to call for the uncorking of a bottle of champagne?
