  1. No vids mate,got one of me landing badly looking like a complete plum loads of pics,if you look at the vid of the guy flying in dubai I put up you see the cam following him?Its tied on his wing,thats what most people are using now to do those flying vids.If you want to do the course I can recommend a guy who is I think 11'th best in the world,his skills are off the scale,i was training with him when the indian came to be trained by him for the world championships,his skills are off the scale. True But if we hadNt had kids we would all be LOADED £££££££££££
  2. I thought you were going to give me a solid tip there (I am like you though,never been in a bookies to place a bet). Life has a habit of putting the brakes on us like that,parenthood slows us right down.
  3. Shit,that's EXACTLY the same as me,i stopped standing on the edge of cliffs and tall buildings because I have an urge,almost a strong compulsion to jump,just to see if I could fly (obviously I would SPLATTTT).I even found a base-jumping course in the states recently but you had to have hundreds of free-falls before you could join,i just wanted to jump off bridges and buildings,a friend of mine jumped off the highest building in pattaya earlier this year when I was there,he landed and made a getaway in a taxi before thai plod rocked up.
  4. Do either of you still paraglide?Or did you just decide to call it quits while your luck was still in?
  5. That's a good one mate,my favourite funny one was always tucker gott flying to McDonalds for a burger,only in America.This ones just visually fantastic.
  6. I remember you saying you bought a wing and you were self taught,i read it a couple of years ago,i have had all sorts of faults mate,bad landings,bad take offs,never had any stalls but what other form of flight can you buy for £5k that will get you thousands of feet in the air on a couple of litres of fuel and packs down small enough to be stowed in the back shed at the end of the day
  7. You think somethings going to be made public?Have you put a bet on yourself?
  8. I am qualified to fly a paramotor mate,i completed the course,i was supposed to be going to laos in November to fly with some other guys but I will be elsewhere in asia trekking at the time sadly.
  9. Tenner?I will give you a grand (I am good for it),proof positive mind as in 100% unequivocal evidence of a litter born in the uk,mountain lion or leopard,i aint fussy ??
  10. ?? Well said good sir,maintain your standards ??
  11. I could make that bet on any animal living wild in the british isles in the sure knowledge I would lose,but mountain lion and leopard its a safe bet?
  12. I will have a gander at them mate thank you
  13. Call it a feeling,but something tells me I could live to the ripe old age of 101 and I will never see a pic showing a genuine 100% born wild in the UK puma or leopard,a recent escapee maybe but nothing born and bred in the wild
  14. Stag in the park a couple of days ago.
  15. My sis took these pics last week in the garden.
  16. Down by the town bridge.
  17. The thames is clean enough for otters mate,but those pics were taken in sunderland on the river wear.Loads of parakeets round here mate,thousands.
  18. Some guy in the city I used to live took these pics,the rivers cleaned up massively since I was a kid,i know exactly where these pics were taken,granted they aren't pin-sharp but they were right-place right-time photos,urban otters,quite a few people have seen them,along with seals,visiting the city centre.
  19. This breeding bull went for 8.5 million QUID which doesn't sound much if you say it quickly
  20. I remember watching a program,an auction for breeding stock,i think it was some safari club?One member payed a million dollars? for a buffalo that was physically perfect,a breeding bull,it had the most incredible boss,i just tried to google it and found this link below which blows the million dollar price tag clean out of the water,without hunting a lot of wildlife would exist only in zoos or as photos in a book. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-02-15/buffalo-valued-at-record-11-1-million-in-auction-beeld-says
  21. The pope begs for gods forgiveness for his mates noncing kids,says it all in this day and age he is keeping it in-house,gods forgiveness indeed,is it society is shunning religion or civilised society has moved past belief in the great creator when Darwinism makes much more sense?
  22. See i'm a walker,posessions I have none,i walk until i'm tired,and sleep when i'm done...…...just read through some of his diary,well done man and dog.
  23. You can take the boy out of the jungle,but you cant take the jungle out of the boy,aint that the truth.
