  1. Second referendum and I am moving to Canada Britain will no longer be a democracy brexit means exit.
  2. That's my old lady,in the forest in Quebec in october,that was a good trip.The weed is trippy psychedelic old school sativa,I don't smoke but I know a little about it,it's got no commercial value here,grows everywhere on the valley bottoms,there's no history of hashmaking or cannabis use in the land of darkness hence it's just used for animal feed.I know your cultured ?
  3. Weed is everywhere,so common it's fed to the pigs,the guy was actually telling me about pigs fattened on cannabis but I knew about this long before I came here Alcohol is cheap but I don't drink,I know,I know,I am a boring cnut as neither do I shagging around so couldn't tell you about the women,but it's a super conservative country.
  4. I watched one in the early 90's just outside Lhasa mate,just like the modern day vulture restaurants.Thimphu the capital city.
  5. Trying to arrange a visit to a sky burial site but it means a treck up to 4000+ meters.Staying in the same hotel Keira knightley and Brad Pitt stayed in when they were here and being guided round by the guy who gave Keira archery lessons.The rivers are pristine,saw some decent sized trout earlier.This place really is the land that time forgot.
  6. Just had a really good afternoon at an archery contest with traditional bows in Bhutan then went to the countries Hoyt stockists and watched them set up a customers bow.The flight into Paro was exhilarating with the plane weaving in and out of the mountainous valleys to land.
  7. Don't forget,we have an invite to Saskatchewan ?
  8. It was a nice morning mate,enjoyed chatting with the guy,just trying to help him out with the name of the taxidermist ? I spent the afternoon watching urban monkeys.My kids think I am Uber boring but i am flying into one of the world's most dangerous airports tomorrow,only 8 pilots in the world licenced to land there,should be interesting ?
  9. Spent the morning chatting to a taxidermist from the natural history museum,his friend is a wildlife enthusiast from manang,sets a couple of camera traps up at 5000+ meters,thin air mountain country,truly remote,he has captured some great pics of snow leopards.
  10. Bit of a longshot I know,but there's some very knowledgeable people on here so it's worth a punt.Just spent a very enjoyable morning with the assistant taxidermist in Kathmandu natural history,great guy,showed me his store room and the pangolin he is working on,anyway he has 2 man eating leopard heads,killed in the 1950's and mounted by an English taxidermist,anyone recognise the nameplate or point me in the direction I could find info on the guy,thank you.
  11. People are kicking off.
  12. Poor kid,they were probably trying to eat her,she should have had rabies shots and not just hep B,mainstream media cherry picking the news they highlight,this girl's story has been quietly swept under the carpet.
  13. The look on her imbecilic face when plod knock would be priceless "But how did they know it was me?" Proper Vicky Pollard type.
  14. Jeremy Kyle fodder,bad upbringing perhaps,bad parenting,horrible kid almost like she is playing to the gallery,bet that clip was shared amongst her gang,thick f****r didn't realise it would be her undoing.Feel really sorry for the bullied girl.
  15. Bit of a riot here at the moment,guy killed on the road ahead,locals have blocked off the road,just seen two trucks of riot police heading up there,roads been blocked maybe an hour and a half so far.
  16. Very nice pic,pity you couldn't buy tags over the counter,be lucky.
  17. It's not so expensive mate,I saw a house and 80'ish acres for sale when I was there in October for under £200k sterling,it was in Ontario though and I think your daughter is in BC?
  18. There was a section in the museum on the yeti,general census of opinion is it's some type of Himalayan bear,
  19. I have seen K2,it's impressive.
