  1. I checked the auction listings brian,they had 500 black bear skins at auction,and something ridiculous like 140,000 raccoon skins.Yup,those polar bear skins square out huge,and they aint cheap neither,be lucky.
  2. I watched it,very sad program to be honest,and the lies and smears spread by plod were ridiculous,they were designed to cover arses and cast a shadow over reputation ofmthe liverpool fans,RIP those who went.
  3. Fantastic post,evokes memories of mackies cooked or bbq'd on a bit of chicken wire over a beach fire with a squirt of lemon and a twist of black pepper,as tomo said,your a lucky guy.
  4. Did you seen any black bear skins at the furriers convention brian?Ottawa has a huge black bear population,second only to british columbia,they have just allowed a spring bear hunt this year for the first time in years.
  5. Did you know the lads who owned the bull crosses Punch and Rumour. I think the guy who owned punch used one of the dogs we ran to bring punch on,he will remember us as the bunch of travellers with shepp,the big deerhound cross,was the owner a brickie?That's him mate.His pal had a black and white first cross who was Punch's half brother fella who owned it was a real good bird catcher.Yup,his dog was a pup,we had 2 big deerhound lurchers,litter brothers,we hunted fox most nights,sometimes went for deer fallow and sitka,good times,he is still in contact with J who went back to sunderland,the res
  6. I cant imagine fox skinning demo's at the CLA gamefair.That place looks fantastic,i might make it a to-do next year,its only three and a half hours from ottawa.

    The Trip

    Interesting about the Indians harbouring resentment towards us mate,the French Canadians in Quebec are the same,they refuse to speak English even though they know how and don't really like us at all,good pics.
  10. if your going to the top,of the burj Khalifa you need to book a few days in advance,my mate tried to go up and was told he needed to book.

    London

    I am in London at the minute,it must be the part twinned with jalalabad or lahore or new delhi,its not a pretty sight.

    London

    f**k me,there will be high fives aplenty at his local mosque,he will be joyously slapping every hand thats flared at him,he got the muzzie vote.
  17. Havent been for years,always do stopovers in the airport nowadays en route to the far east,,my mates fiance is there at the minute on a hen weekend,i wouldnt mind another visit to see the giant saltwater croc in the shopping mall.
  18. Do you ever fish the stream?Thats my idea of an ideal garden.
  19. Bloody hell,i just had a deja vu flashback of a pet shop boys concert lol,be lucky mate.
  20. I lived with a group of do-as-you-likees mate,i dont think we moved in the same circles,yours were proper east end geezers,mine were a bit wild with no fixed roots,my brother had just got out of nick after 3 or 4 years,he came down and ended up marrying a girl from Bow,I think your clique were into pubs,clubs,night clubs,the guys i palled around with were scrap-metal building and other stuff sort of blokes.But yes,the east-end had some genuine characters,the west end nowadays has loads but they are a different breed.
  21. Fields of that around the M25 and essex mate,industrial hemp,nice pic.
  22. Interesting,today the government announced a blanket ban for all legal highs starting next month including synthetic cannabis (which was brought in to circumvent the total ban on conventional cannabis),a lot of these legal highs are untested compounds cooked up in backstreet chinese labs,23 people died from untested legal highs in 2013 and the government are making a big flap of publicly banning them,but alcohol and tobacco are legal highs,food for thought.
  23. I watched the great fish off yesterday,fair enough it was for thai carp but they were loading the bait with monosodium glutemate,the same stuff your local chinese takeaway douses your food in to make it irresistable.
  24. Manly men are get up and go no shit types,scots,kiwis,and ozzies in my experience whine and whinge less and just getbon with the f***ing job,but i think its also down to the individual.
