  1. Thats not going to happen mate whatever he says,i have seen anti-american protesters outside the yank embassy on roxas boulevard,they got short thrift,beaten badly,without the fil-am remmittances from the states the PI would be in very dire straites,they dont call the philippines americas 51'st state for nothing,duterte is just a mouth,even his own senate are asking him to tone it down,any pinoy you ever meet in the islands has a relative or family member living and working in the states,its the average filipinos dream to live there.
  2. Just came back to newcastle to collect some traps from a guy,i popped into the exhibition again to take some pics for one of my kids,he would love to go to the factory in china to watch the process.
  3. It'll never be lifted which is a shame considering you can bow hunt all over the rest of the Anglosphere, a chunk of Europe and Africa. Makes you wonder what the potential revenue would be from bowhunting tourism. It's massive in the States with the likes of Shockey and Cam Hanes etc and with the UK's relative high density deer populations I imagine those high wealth tourists would love to come here and get a load of hunting in. I have a few of shockeys moose vid's born hunter,i am going to see his record moose in Cabelas,theres a lot of yanks pay big cash to bowhunt roe in france and red dee
  4. 2 years back,maybe 3,i was tipping waste at the local tip,chatted to a man and woman who have or had as maybe they arent there now 2 20 foot shipping containers sited there,they collected anything and everything that had a resale value,old bikes,dyson hoovers,anything and everything that could be scrubbed up or repaired and sold on,they own two houses locally and they dont live in a bad area so property isnt cheap as chips,they make a very good living indeed but to look at them or chat to them they dont look as if they have a penny between them to scratch their arse with,as you said where ther
  5. I know a few people who got the coin to start businesses from questionable sources,theres an old adage behind every big business is a little crime.
  6. I have read chuck adams life at full draw book,try and get your hands on Tom Miranda's superslam,i watched the DVD's and they are off the scale.

  8. I am heading back to ottawa before christmas to visit the 70,000 square foot Cabelas thats just been built virtually on my girlfriends parent doorstep,i saw it getting built in feb when i was there,they opened it a few weeks ago with an archer shooting his bow into a target,massive archery stock,i am going to be doing a bit of spending in there.My favourite quarry is fallow deer and fox (abroad),i just wish the UK bowhunting laws were relaxed,a sad indictment for a country that once produced the finest archers in the world.
  9. Couldnt believe one guy jacked as soon as he got into the jungle,you adapt to it,even 100% humidity,soaked all day every day with your own sweat,leeches,mozzies,nothing but hues of green,its a bit claustrophobic sometimes i guess,but no reason to throw the towel in,the older guy came across well.
  10. Had duck,hare,and salmon on the same day.
  11. Good job people nowadays carry phones with recording capabilities mate,plod used to get away with far too much beforehand,nowadays at least theres accountability and they cant backtrack if the evidence is visually available.
  12. A lot of plod have large chips on their shoulders,elevated sense of importance or whatever,its all these self aggrandising TV reality shows that make them out to be modern day superheros and protectors of the poor and innocent whereas in reality some of them are bitter twisted fucks who want or need to be part of some organisation or gang that allows them to oppress or lord it over the plebs with impunity.Bullied or not breast fed enough when younger but they should all undergo strict psychiatric evaluation before being signed up for the job.
  13. Outdoors in this country normally finish September,some strains a month earlier,some a month later,we are a northern lat,above 50,outdoor drying at this lat your always going to lose a % to mould,just dry it indoors it would be easier. I'm watching a small grow nearby now they have all only just started flowering am I right in saying they could be finished by November I found an outdoor grow last week,all cropped,they just left the stems,i will get a pic next week when i am over there again,there was popcorn bud on the lower stems covered in mould.I am off to morroco in 2 weeks,pity the seaso
  14. She would have been better off apologising for her crappy songs,the jungle is frances problem,not ours,the refugees mostly economic are already in a safe country,besides cherry-picking which country you want to live in isnt exactly indicative of a refugee,to a genuine refugee any safe berth is sanctuary.
  15. How did you get them dave?I have seen a couple of decent bowhunting packages recently and been tempted.
  16. Conger was a strap mate, will put up a vid of us trying to get it back in the sea lol. Back from Thailand last month, didn't catch ! Had a few nights at Chatrium riverside in Bangkok, there was some real big fish by the hotel topping, but wouldn't take anything, big silver flanks .....flew to Phuket and some time with the family at Kaho Lak and then a few days at Kaho sok in the national park.......enjoyed....Right on the chao phraya itself,if you go again theres a few places in Bangkok itself your guaranteed at least a 70 lb'er and theres a few decent places for lure fishing barramundi.Yes
  17. I just found about 20 fresh puffballs,any recipes anyones tried?
  18. I remember when John Rambo himself popularised the compound,i think What make is it gruff? Nothing fancy- an old Barnett Safari.Man I lusted after one of those as a kid as we were going through our home made bow and arrow stage! 1985 when old john J Rambo had his Hoyt in rambo 2,i always wanted those explosive areow tips.

  24. I met a traveller guy from 'ampshire earlier this year who once took a few pakistanis from west London after deer,once the dogs had one over they wanted to halal it,i know quite a few filipinos in this country and canada who fish.
