   Good stuff Pat. Well, I didn't know any of Tony's family at all but he definitely had pretty serious asthma. I remember years ago the two of us were over in The Hague (Scheveningen) with work, and Tony's asthma started playing up. His inhalers weren't really doing it so I gave him a tablet or two of my meds for asthma - which contained ephedrine! They were taken off the market since! Ephedrine is one of the amphetamine (speed) family, as you probably know! Anyway, the tablet duly sorted Tony's asthma while blowing his head off (cos he wasn't used to them!!!) 

So maybe the same guy Pat, a sound lad and a gentleman as I said earlier.

	Wow, that sounds like the same Tony alright. The tablets I had for asthma were Franol and only had them in the early 70's. There were no sprays or tablets available to me during the 60's.

	Yeah Pat, franol that was them ok. Active ingredient was ephedrine. If you took one of them bad boys washed down with a couple of Solpadeine you were good to go ! I also remember Tony smoked like a trooper, like a chain smoker nearly !!! Was gas really. We had a few good days in Schveningen, in between the work...

	Isn't this sad but understandable 😪😪. Feel sorry for all the athletes who've trained so hard to compete in the Olympics and now will do so without the vocal support of the spectators. TOKYO, July 8 (Reuters) - Organisers of the Tokyo Olympics have agreed to hold the event without spectators under a COVID-19 state of emergency, Japan's Olympics Minister Tamayo Marukawa said on Thursday.

	I'm not at all surprised Pat - Tokyo is under a state of emergency with Covid. A lot of people in Japan,from what I read, would prefer the Olympics didn't happen at all but there's huge money now invested, to say nothing of the training and dedication shown by the athletes involved... ... A very tough one all round.

	Way to go Katie. Still the number 1. 👏👏👏. Katie Taylor has successfully defended her undisputed lightweight championship, beating American Jennifer Han via unanimous decision at Headingley Stadium. The fight will not go down as a classic but Taylor was never in trouble and always in control against a wily veteran, winning all ten rounds. All three judges scored the fight 100-89, with an eighth round knock-down the highlight of the bout for Taylor. Former IBF featherweight champion Han showed no signs of ring-rust despite being out of action for 19 months but was never able to worry Taylor whose main frustration was that she didn't get the stoppage she was looking for. Fighting in the birthplace of her father, Taylor felt right at home and received a rapturous welcome from the 20,000 fans in attendance. Edited by Biker Pat - 05-September-2021 at 13:56

	You may be right there Sean. I really admire Katie and her successes should never be overlooked by the sports media.
