  1. I know I saw plenty of it in Nepal back in the day,all changed nowadays though unless you get up into the mountain regions.
  2. There's an archery shop I sometimes visit in Quebec called l'archerot,they are selling a moose guiding operation with two Basecamps,reachable only by boat,the price is $40,000 Canadian,that's £20 odd grand sterling,different lifestyle,the UK is shrinking,it's claustrophobic at times.
  3. As did many others,how else is an entrepreneur going to sell slightly mouldy hash after a long boat journey to reach its market ?
  4. You forget max,I have lived in the north AND down south,southerners spend,and that's from years of observation.
  5. After working with those lads from spennymoor are you thinking of relocating north GB?
  6. No mate,I have a small clique of mates,to be honest they party really hard,Amsterdam/Prague for a weekend sometimes,always at the races,they aren't afraid to spend,but they work hard to pay for it.
  7. I saw one in an auction catalogue earlier this year for £12k guide price,but that was teeside somewhere?
  8. I know nothing about E's but that sounds like the sales pitch that hippies fell for back in the day about nep temple ball,told the white specks in it were opium when in reality they were specks of mould.
  9. Still get terraced houses in the north east for £20k.
  10. Bracknell isn't bad,Slough is off the scale shit-hole,Slough sheds with beds.
  11. Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough,it isn't fit for humans now.........never a truer words spoken,absolute shit-hole.
  12. Brexit means exit march today,is it on the MSM in UK or is that a dumb question?
  13. Don't you like the north then? ?
  14. Horse radish or mustard??? I wish ?
  15. Sun-dried yak meat fried in yak butter with sun-dried chillies for dinner tonight,can hardly contain myself with excitement ? your eggs look so tempting.
  16. Yup,ashes to ashes,dust to dust,flesh to vulture poop.
  17. I saw one once in Tibet mate,I won't see one here,once was enough,I only visited yesterday in case there were any vultures sitting around as they associate our arrival with food.
  18. Darren nicholls AKA Bloggs 19 who was caught in a newspaper sting several years ago once again being naughty.
  19. I had to go to Amsterdam once for a job interview,as I was told "Viruses get deleted" play with fire you get burnt,shit happens.Their autopsy photos don't look so good.
  20. The hotel I stayed in last night has a Christmas tree,they don't celebrate Christmas here though but I thought it was a nice touch. I will spend Christmas in London,my missus is getting a little peeved as I have been away for a couple of weeks but I have just booked us a little holiday away together as a "Thank you for being so understanding" present.
  21. Not allowed a release,and they all eschew a peep and sight,very good bowmen,they all seem to think however that England still has archers practising on village greens on Sundays just as every male here seems to have a bow.Had a fantastic day,hiked up to 4500 meters to a sky burial site,no dead today thankfully but the view was incredible with prayer flags flying everywhere,best wishes for the afterlife,like a crouching tiger Hidden dragon movie set,and a few vultures riding the thermals,I was going to drink water from a crystal clear river on the way down to the valley floor till I remembered
  22. Very good,wiped the floor with me .Just watched some guys outside once again 150 metres very good shots,this guy in the pic almost won "Bhutanese Idol" the talent show,as well as being a good singer he is a decent archer.
  23. It's for the head Lamma when he is checking on work,I put it on for a laugh max,site safety and all that ? I think you would enjoy it Ted,interesting area. This dough ball believe it or not contains a small amount of ashtres from a cremated monk and ashes of his burnt photograph,I had an odd chat with the guy who was making the dough,they all are trying to attain true detached enlightenment,if a family member died the truly enlightened are so detached as to feel no sorrow whatsoever ?
  24. Just had sun-dried yak meat,really nice taste,and got to lay a few stones on the extension of Bhutan's oldest monastry after hiking 500 lung bursting meters up a winding narrow goat track.
