    The Fragrant Pharmacy?Sounds like my sort of book.
  3. Watched this,very enjoyable,he was a one off when he was active in a different time,I watched “Wild Justice” one of the fish & Game wardens on the opening credits always says “We are like John Wayne out there trying to catch the bad guys” shoot-outs are far from rare,the most well known example being the Claude Dallas case.
  4. The main lad in my pic was actually attacked by some foreign bloke and smacked with a bar,he had it all on film and got a payout when the case went to court,he has won a few cases against the cops for false arrest.
  5. Where was that mate?Eel on the top plate?I went to cockneys on portobello road,I spotted a different one a few days ago near Covent Garden that I intend to try,food of the gods.
  6. That actually sounds a fantastic holiday for a child,magical places and experiences.
  7. I love London mate,it’s fashionable for brits to put it down and say it’s shit but yesterday I sheltered from the rain in a doorway in Chinatown and got chatting to a New Yorker over here for a week,very pleasant lady,she said the city is overwhelming there’s so much to see and do,tourists love the place.
  8. Best ice cream I ever had in my life was freshly made coconut ice cream served in a coconut shell with some chocolate shavings sold on a street corner in Chiangmai,it set the bar all other ice creams are measured by.
  9. Wandered around west London earlier just killing time as I am at the Royal Geographical Society this evening,went into an old gin pub and an art gallery.

    Just got given this,but I am in the middle of two books.
  11. Absolutely beautiful on a nice day like today,often pop in there.
  12. Pie mash & liquor in Notting Hill then a nice ice cream.
  13. Situational awareness,always need it in the concrete jungle,there was a big event in Leicester Square last night and the predators were out looking for opportunities.
  14. They don’t really audit per se,they rock up to a cop shop,airport,prison or similar and begin filming,pushing the boundaries for a reaction then film it.
  15. Not a podcast but I bumped into two “auditing” YouTubers the other week,recognised both straight away,they earn more than the average working bloke,one of them quit his plumbing job to YouTube full time.
  16. I just had to meet a bloke today in a bookies in Chinatown,when I asked him what he was betting on………….
  17. Maybe 10-15 years back,can’t remember exactly when as it was a long time ago I saw a guy caught outside a store in Hounslow,he was one of a group of Eastern Europeans who had been in nicking,5 or 6 lads,Asian security guard stood beside the English manager and I heard the manager explaining to the shoplifter that he had to pay for goods before exiting the store,as if he didn’t know ffs,the thieves walked off sniggering. Been in London all day and actually watched a Syrian looking type stop and stare at a tourist who was standing on the side of the pavement outside a BDC counting a bundle
  18. My lady likes the look of Santorini.
  19. Mates daughter has a masters in physics,really posh family,James Hewitt is a family friend,she is maybe 30 now and works for mark Zuckerberg on the Facebook team earning megabucks.
  20. Good reason to be proud of them mate,hopefully they are going places four degrees is incredible,that’s real smart.
  21. I guessed,as soon as you said 4 degrees I thought “Girl”.
  22. Well, sunderland will have seemed as exotic as zanzibar to you northerners back then, I thought Spanish city was in Spain.
