  1. You have too much cash TOMO I remember sleeping in some scrubland on the outskirts of Perpignan one night, then on the beach at canes plage the next when I was a teenager and hitching down through France
  2. The head teacher looks like something out of mad max, but kids need more than just the 3 R's to develop, they need real world skills, and outside interests other than sitting glued to their I-phones 24/7 I had a hot air balloon flight at dawn this morning and had the chance to chat to a Thai woman who learnt to fly at the age of 14.Get the kids out, dirt under their fingernails, fresh air in their lungs, birdsong in their ears instead of f***ing headphones pumping out crap.
  3. Domino effect........
  4. Worked on Gib a few times,gibraltarians are staunch pro-uk,they don't want to be called Spanish,they actually view it as an insult, but they were pro-europeans,i think it was 98% wanted to remain because 4000+ Spanish cross from la linea every morning to work on the rock, theres a statue on the Spanish side dedicated to the spaniard gib workers, if Spain wants the rock back perhaps first they should hand Ceuta back to the moroccans?Just as a token good faith gesture

  12. Was it the son who did time for the robberies?Nest of poisonous vipers,if you have rats in your house why let them destroy it,ship them out.
  13. There used to be a guy on moochers years back, people like TOMO will remember him I am sure, he was from Yorkshire somewhere, his name was WoodyApex?He was a chippie I think?Went to Indonesia,cant remember which part, but he hunted pigs with a tribe and their assorted mongrel pack, did a decent write up.
  14. I took some pics a few weeks back in the PI,i am going to try and crop and resize them from the phones will bang them up later.I was channel-surfing last night, flicking through what was on the tv and there was cockfighting on here some Thai channel ADHD sport or something along those lines?

  17. Done it with fish,dug a hole,raked the hot rocks out of the fire and dropped them in,the fire was coconut charcoal fuelled,put a layer of banana leaves,used foil for the fish but I know that was cheating,another layer of banana leaf then covered with sand and left for a couple of hours.
