  1. Sounds right,he was the one who told me lions are called Simba in Swahili,so I figured he was a real life Chester le street Daktari.
  2. Watching a program called North Woods Law,about poaching in the state of Maine,bloody hell the wardens are relentless chasing deer poachers by aeroplane,raiding houses,handing out fines,they are worse than UK gamekeepers.
  3. Massive in the Philippines,I even saw cockfights on inter-island passenger ferries,shops that cater to it are everywhere,cockpits in every city,town,and village.
  4. The head zoo keeper was called John I think,from memory.He told me loads of tales of catching the animals in Africa,which sounded incredible to a 15 year old Sunderland urchin with zero life experience,in hindsight the stories were bollocks and he probably never ventured past Middlesbrough.
  5. Had to go to meet a bloke in little Tokyo today,it borders skid-row,I had some cash in a backpack,I was super cautious.I saw a guy lying face down in the gutter,no one gave a f**k,dozens of people just sitting around on the pavements,got propositioned by a lady for 10 dollars,saw a street Valentines party and a paralysed bloke freestyling about capping snitches and f***ing bitches,I felt right at home.
  6. Colours and flavours,the market and fashion change constantly.
  7. RS11 still holds its own here,cropping some in 10-14 days,but watch out for moonbow in case it ever appears on the UK scene.
  8. Only experience of the country,not the perversions. tried to read an anglicised version once but it wasn’t my cup of chai.
  9. In a real old character filled Mexican diner eating breakfast,corned beef hash,rice,and scrambled eggs,bottomless Mexican coffee,couple of big Harley riding bikers drinking coffee when I first came in,everyone speaking Spanish,good food and good atmosphere.
  10. Yup,any community where it’s an uninterrupted tradition.
  11. Plenty of homosexuals in Pakistan,not so many multi-storey car parks,that’s Iran,Pakistanis like young boys.
  12. I got an invite to watch it at a mates place,his “I got loads of food in” and “we have a heated swimming pool and bowling alley” in his apartment block almost tipped the balance,but the actual game itself?No,it’s just a game.
  13. I read an article about that in the FT,investment immigration and over a billion euro invested in the country,but that’s a small number of Chinese bringing cash and jobs,different scenario to huge amounts of uninvited people leeching off the country while offering nothing.
  14. Similar Bradford is like walking around the back streets of Rawalpindi.
  15. Pakistan has incredible trekking,but it’s not exactly a touristy destination,and you certainly couldn’t go with a female partner.
  16. Pakistan is like stepping back in the stone age,you could throw untold billions at the place and it wouldn’t do much good,it’s the peoples mindset that needs changing.
  17. New brinks-mat robbery drama,6 parter,looks interesting,I am going to try and watch it on catch-up,anyone watching it?
  18. A million immigrants between now and 2040,over 100+ thousand this coming year,that’s totally going to alter the face of your communities,it’s madness.
  19. Liberal lefties,the average working class family wouldn’t accept that s*it for their kids.
