@WayneBoxing @ContehWbc What a pair of beaus !

[SIMON BLOCK @commboxing]

@KOJournals I was there. What a war and elected BBB of C 'Contest of the Year'. Hell of a celebration afterwards back at the hotel. Ended up with just me and Trevor Cattouse about 5 00am and had to leave about 2 hours later to catch the bus, to catch the train back to the Paris airport.

[SIMON BLOCK @commboxing]

@WayneBoxing Many congratulations.

[SIMON BLOCK @commboxing]

@martin_hillman Be lucky, Martin.

Endured @Eurovision last night. One thing clear. With all the drear stuff from other countries the UK did not deserve to come last even if ours was not a likely winner. Why bother - we are never going to win with the current overt political voting @gbnews @BBCNews

[SIMON BLOCK @commboxing]

@audleyharrison @SkySportsNews Blimey ! He's back, looking good. Glad to see you, Audley.

[SIMON BLOCK @commboxing]

@DonovanKasp Great career, Sam. Hope you stay in the sport outside the ropes.

[SIMON BLOCK @commboxing]

@asaclarkBXR Good luck, Asa - you're gonna need it.

[SIMON BLOCK @commboxing]

@CharlotteCGill You remind me of @TitaniaMcGrath. Are you by any chance related ?

[SIMON BLOCK @commboxing]

@DonovanKasp Another one in the Barry Jones mould, thoughtful, articulate and someone who can prove to those coming after you don't have to be foul-mouthed and flash to be a 3-weight World Champion. Oh, and also like Barry, a member of the 'Legends of Boxing'.

[SIMON BLOCK @commboxing]

@DonovanKasp Lovely guy, intelligent TV commentator and member of the 'Legends of Boxing'. Many Happy Returns.

[SIMON BLOCK @commboxing]

@ClonesCyclone A really nice guy who was an inspiration to others including my son, Robin. Life can sometimes be very cruel to thoas who deserve it least.

[SIMON BLOCK @commboxing]

@rocknrollofall Just a point - compare the articulate and reasoned way this ultimate rock star speaks compared with today's expletive ridden interviews you get so much of today. No stranger to using bad language myself but never in overtly public situations.

[SIMON BLOCK @commboxing]

@martin_hillman Thanks.

[SIMON BLOCK @commboxing]

@john_thain A really good fighter, taken too soon.

[SIMON BLOCK @commboxing]

@WayneBoxing @1stlovescotland Looking good, Wayne.

[SIMON BLOCK @commboxing]

@Tom_Gray_Boxing Once asked former good class Middle/Lighheavy from the '40s and '50's, Ron Pudney, before a Benn fight how he would have handled him if matched. He replied, ' I'd have taken the first bus out of town !'

[SIMON BLOCK @commboxing]

@LDNBOXHISTORY Actually, fourth from left of picture - Sanigar.

[SIMON BLOCK @commboxing]

@LDNBOXHISTORY Fourth from left of Joe Bugner, that wouldn't be Chris Sanigar, would it ?
