  1. That kanchanaburi one was going to be closed down years ago,when I went about 25 years ago they had over 100 adult tigers,it was raided and authorities found freezers filled with tiger parts and cubs,there was no evidence but it was believed the monks were selling to the Chinese medicinal market,a British girl nearly lost a leg when a tame tiger she was walking took a fancy to it.

    Peaceful pro-Palestinian marchers.
  3. Funny little chunk of rock mate,crazy at times but always super interesting.
  4. I had totally forgotten about him,watched the clip this morning,at least he doesn’t say “fighting man” every sentence,it’s now diazepam every other word,he is like a punch drunk fighter wanting that final comeback fight,but I think his time is behind him,a few YouTubers poking fun at him.
  5. Hunting for cows in an Indian street.
  6. The lions in gujarat kill the odd person,two caught and started eating a guy last year,but they mainly come into towns for the cows which wander freely in every town in India,easy pickings. yes,please ask your wife which tiger-temple you will visit,I have been to a few,always be a bit careful though,the kanchanaburi one a Brit girl almost lost her leg.
  7. I didn’t mate,my sis did a “Walk with lions” in Kenya,couple of guys walked down a trail with a pride of “tame” lions walked with them,I walked through the tiger temple in kanchanaburi years ago when I was a kid which at the time I didn’t even think about,now I would find it unnerving,the monks had little sticks to protect you.
  8. They wander around towns often in gujarat India at night,the locals chase them off with sticks and rocks.

    Skilled people is fine,it’s when the parents etc get visas as dependants,they get super-visas here,there’s an Indian woman here going to sue air-Canada as she brought her 84 year old father from India “For a new life” he died on the plane on the way over,as you said,every man and his 12 dogs.
  10. Nice watch (if it’s real),but not a nice person.
  11. I saw this thread earlier,I had forgotten about Decca,just watched one clip,Jesus,how the mighty hath fallen,hooked on opiates?He is on something,shabu?Living in a squatters area with a prostitute in Cebu,how did that happen?And begging for cash?

    Mandarin Duck

    I know,I have eaten both,I said there’s loads of wood duck here,I see them daily,I put the pic up as an illustration,every swamp/marsh/lake here has them,saw loads of broods swimming about earlier in the year,oddly enough the only place I ever saw mandarin duck in China was in Kowloon park.
  13. It was beautiful,got a couple more and loads of salmon.

    We will have all had a different life with better upbringing and education,me included,but we just have to play the game with the cards we are dealt.

    Mandarin Duck

    What’s he working as now?Back in the late 70’s the worldwide population of the nene was around 200 birds,on the endangered list,I remember thinking mallard tasted nicer.
