  1. I was in a Tim Hortons last week and they were playing a radio station and an advert for Bass Pro came on,they actually mentioned bow hunting,you would never get that in a UK Starbucks or McDonalds.
  2. My son went to the badlands in Alberta last year to one of the worlds holy grails for fossil hunter Drumheller,he actually watched a professional paleontologist clean a fossil in the dinosaur centre. I bought my lady a fall jacket the other day with a dinosaur logo on and saw a similar mini dinosaur later that day in stone.
  3. There was massive amounts of beef,pork,chicken allsorts really but I just liked the layout of the charcuterie.
  4. In the states at the minute,just been to my lady's cousins party.
  5. I think I saw a documentary about divers getting them?
  6. They are great lakes fish gaz,numbers are huge this year,bang some pics up if you get a decent sturgeon,I know some lads from sunderland who fished the frazer river at chilliwack and got some big fish.
  7. I was thinking about this earlier,would be a decent cheap fishing holiday,easy to organise/book with huge amounts of fish.
  8. Saw these yesterday,the guy buys them in bulk,also gets mammoth hair,tusks etc from siberia.
  9. That's a beautiful pair of steaks,you once asked was I a lottery winner,I think it's you as I am currently eating at truck stops and diners,biscuits and gravy.
  10. Australia is a long way off crime free Juke,comparable if not more so with the rest of the western world,just because they aren't all running around like ned Kelly doesn't mean it's crime free.
  11. Where did your dad source his weapons from Greg?There's a few militaria fairs at kempton park every year,I normally pop in when they are on if I am back there.
  12. History,that's fascinating,I really like that,where did you buy it? The flag would probably have high value to collectors,no deals on that sort of thing in a bidding war. Shrunken heads are increasing in price.
  13. Been a few sold at auction Greg,most auction houses won't touch anything associated with the fuhrer,but some will,normally fetch a few thousand quid.Black silk ones with crimson swastikas would be worth far more. The gut who I was with yesterday's mentor was a real Indiana Jones sort,huge collector and trader in unusual antiquities.
  14. Saw this yesterday,big black bear,and remembered the canuck bear adage If it's brown lay down, If it's black fight back, If it's white goodnight.
  15. Can you ask him for a photo mate?The bloke I chatted to yesterday buys and sells stuff historic items just like that,it's macabre but there's a market for it. You could have put them on your head and goosestepped about a bit doing lili marlene on the karaoke while pissed on schnapps.He also had Adolphs wine glass and has been to the wolfs Lair.
  16. I came to see his shrunken heads,I couldn't discuss the fuhrers wife's lingere with him Mel,I was over the moon when he showed me them.
  17. I just had the most fascinating afternoon with a collector of the weirdest shit imaginable,even an authenticated monogrammed pair of Eva brauns knickers,ja das stimmt.
  18. Happy anniversary in advance,I always visiting the falls and Toronto,stateside tomorrow,land of the free home of the brave.
  19. Used to be trackers,now it's thermal and tracker. Two can keep a secret if one of them is dead,old Colombian saying.There is loyalty,but it's rare.The less links in the chain the stronger it's bond.
  20. Should organise a THL salmon run trip for next year over here.
  21. 5km walk at first light along the river and a coffee at sunrise at the falls with a gull.Great way to start the day.
  22. No mate,even this side of the pond where it's totally legal it's common,I met a bloke last year in LA who had been shot and survived during a home invasion for his hard earned gains. Just before I left UK I chatted to a bloke who had been taxed and a friend of mine had three blokes smash into his house earlier this year.The worst taxers are the government and POCA.
