[show_avatar email=rohan@hetoreahamstring.me.uk align=left] To describe the last few days as testing would be literal in more ways than one.

[show_avatar email=rohan@hetoreahamstring.me.uk align=left] “When We Were Kings”, a fascinating insight into the iconic Rumble in the Jungle, between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman.
