You'd pay for sky then?

So which one are you gonna use?

My son has just told me free live streams are very dodgy and not to use them. Im fairly clueless, what do you say?

And yes a GPS that worked with google maps like a phone would be superb, if you find one let me know. I got back and said if Garmin and Google could have baby and put it on a dedicated motorcycle sat nav that would be perfect.

I now have the image of an older chunky Tym and you doing a Laurel and Hardy impression?!!

The Zumo XT has the bright screen, weather resistance, easy to follow instructions and can plan more interesting bike routes ('Adventure Route') but like you say limited database, its not intuitive in the same way as google maps and is slightly slow to respond to data input which isnt a biggy but it feels laggy. You can set it to show petrol stations, restaurants etc it has tripadvisor and foursquare on it (which contains airb&b & points of interest) and it links to your phone if you want to see txts/calls etc It also works easily with your gloves on. I made a concerted effort to get to grips with it on my last jolly and found it faster to search google, mark the Garmin map and navigate to that mark. Using co-ordinates from google would be the way to go but there are different co-ordinate formats and Garmin and Googles are different. This can apparently be changed in settings but I havent got that far yet. Some people link their second phone to their main phone so no need for a second SIM card and messages/calls then show but this doesnt fix the temperamental weather issues or the bright sunlight problem. I believe the Tomtom Go is google compatible but I don't know if its robust/weatherproof as its not specifically designed for motorbikes. Overall I love the clear easy instructions on the Zumo XT, the super bright screen and how robust its been, after a frustrating start with it I think its worth persevering with BUT this didn't stop me pulling over and checking google maps a couple of times for that last tiny bit when Garmin said I'd arrived and I hadn't. I bought mine updated it and left for Spain expecting it to work like google maps, it was soon abandoned on that first trip because on unknown roads in a different country your concentration needs to be on where you're riding not trying to fathom out what the GPS is doing. What I found very helpful while getting used to the Zumo was to have both the Zumo XT and the phone on the bars, it soon became apparent the Zumo's directions, display (speed limits etc) and (split screen showing which lane etc) was vastly superior to the overcrowded Google maps layout. If you go for a separate GPS like the Zumo XT I'd advise getting it well in advance, the data update takes FOREVER and getting to grips with its foibles takes time.

Ah I assumed it was on your phone. Heyho

Brill. love the haystack pics. Where's the vid of you riding through?

Diarrhoea.. diarrhoea Runs through your bum like a bullit in a gun.. diarrhoea.. diarrhoea People think its funny but its really rather runny.. diarrhoea.. diarrhoea

Ooh a good boxer against a nut job. The thick plottens

I dunno it was old school, by fourteen you were on your 4rth pint of cider before the game started

Moslty cos gloucs deserve it.

Cheaty answer, if youre from the West Country we’ve all done that

The weight and size difference, the coin riding on the fight and the egos involved. Its going to be interesting. Tell me about the bigger (much bigger n heavier) but softer looking one?

Oof thats electric.

Thats someone who’s doesnt give a fuck or doesnt know how to. Either way those loons are always interesting. This is going to sound so dumb but I dont know of the man at all other than what Ive seen here… he’s Ukrainian then? running for cover

Since I could remember (last Tuesday ) boxing was my favourite spectator sport (closely followed by wresting) then I had babies and watching two grown men smash the shit out of each other became abhorrent - they were all someone’s baby once A twenty year hiatus occurred and now suddenly I’m really looking forward to this fight Brilliant to see the fast thinking wideboy cockney promoter is still out there plugging a fight with the integrity of someone who loves lining their pockets

Blimey Sky want £26.95 (from a non subscriber) what a piss take. The online live stream will do just fine

Where’s it available to view?

I see. So I get ‘Ask Kevin’ and Pete gets N Tart. Oh how you wound

Tyms jeans are superior, past superior, into holey

Who told Buck? Hmm? Cant trust you lot with anything.

Usyk looks like a murdering Victorian circus freak, no idea what they’re like as boxers but on death stares my money would be on circus man, he has the nutter edge
