    Pics

    I tried earlier,tried through photobucket posting the url,didnt work,now i have to resize them,i wish one of my kids was at my side at this precise moment.
  3. Its better to give than to receive,thats what my kids always tell me at christmas.
  4. Loads of thai guys gathering round staring into several tanks at once,i have some pics on a USB i need to resize,once i have done that i will get them up,i went to a fish market where thousands of fighting fish were fo sale all in their own tiny tanks,interesting to see.
  5. I missed the event,i was late,i went and watched the fish-fighting instead.There was a wierd program on TV last night,cockfighting,bull fighting between 2 bulls,and muay thai,that was primetime viewing.
  6. Steve,theres an old saying "The best looking women in thailand are the men",an aussie guy once introduced me to his mate with the words "This is Dan his wife is a bloke" as the guy was in a relationship with a stunning ladyboy,its amazing what a skilled surgeon and a course of hormones can do,some of them look more feminine than the women,I wonder how many guys have a few pints and pick one up viewing them through beer goggles.My best mate Giles once got pissed,had a blow-job off one,declared it the best BJ he had ever had then found out the fellatio was from a cock in a frock,i never let him
  7. They look like a rabbit gone wrong,badly wrong in the worst caricature sense,its the eyes,that expression.
  8. Not me mate,life is my high I don't even drink or smoke
  9. Just got some better pic's Dave,had a great day,arrived at a venue and walked onto the lake,i was just chatting to a guy,marcus a chippie from the west country,he was tackled up and had only been there a short while,i was asking had he caught owt when he got a screamer of a run,absolute beauty of a siamese carp,not his biggest as his PB was around 60kg but a really nice fish all the same. my first cast got a bite,very strong fish,no way jose could I stop that run,load of pressure applied but line just peeled off,the fish had a destination and got under a fallen tree,i couldn't bully it out an
  10. You'll be lucky to even find shite coke in SE Asia pal, too far from South America and not on any established smuggling routes, plenty of MDMA and yaba though, you'll definitely be partying all night on a bit of that Waste of time anyway all drugs Plenty of coke in asia,established smuggler routes?syndicates are constantly creating routes.Singapore,hong kong,awash with coke,anywhere theres big cash theres coke,go to somewhere like lang kwai fong,hang around in the expat bars where the bankers and money men spend their bonuses,was it jack nicholson?Who said coke is natures way of telling
  11. Your right mik,Philippines really IS the wild west
  12. Its 20 past 5am,i am up early going fishing,I heard a noise outside maybe 10 minutes back?Popped my head out the window theres 2 thai women having a catfight,the guy trying to separate them is a western bloke,don't know what the story is but i think his girlfriend caught him with someone else,the fight is taking place outside a bar,tight lines.
  13. i was invited to a guys workshop the other day,he grows marine corals,has some rare ones apparently,very shallow tanks some of them,he uses HPS lamps and ballasts with 400w bulbs,he was also experimenting with L.E.D units with different spectrums for some of his tanks,strange hobby and it didn't look as visually pleasing as fish but he was certainly enthusiastic.
  14. Yeah,don't you remember the incident mate?Gazza reckoned he could talk Moat out of whatever he was planning to do but plod turned him back and wouldn't let him through the secure perimeter.
  15. Haven't been to pokhara for years,you didn't fish the lake did ya?Yeah,if I want my wallet emptied I will mention you
  16. Where in the himalayas LG?I spent a long time in kashmir and kicked about in nepal quite a bit.
  17. That looks incredible,I could get into this,its as close to being a bird as your going to get,the guy i was with is a guy called mathew,lives about 20 minutes outside dublin,comes over here for 6 months of the year to fly,he has life sussed out
  18. I took one of my sons shooting last week,the range we went to a brit guy in his 30's couple of years ago rented a pistol and got a box of rounds,loaded up and before anyone could stop him shot himself in the head,the CCTV footage was on youtube,might still be there,his thai girlfriend had dumped him,lots of suicides here,quite a few homeless western guys,they spend all their cash and just don't want to go home so live on the beach,crazy place,just been a manhunt for some australian bikers,they killed some guy and buried him in scrub outside town,one of them has just been caught in cambodia,the
  19. Paramotoring ain't quite, unless your engine fails. Paragliding is. it is deathly quiet LG when he turns off the engine to land,total silence
  20. Gazza is the master of the Gaffe,like prince philip,anyone remember the gazza/raoul moat radio interview where gazza was stopped en-route to see the moat/plod standoff,gazza has lager a newcastle top and his fishing gear,try and find the interview online,its funny as f**k but he was naive just like this quip at the IC3 (Note my political correctness there) gentleman.
  21. Maybe 2000 feet mate,not so high,it was different from micro lighting,it felt raw,my son came over last week and did a sky dive but the thing i kept thinking of as we floated along was he would have loved this
  22. Hopefully the perpetrators who carried out the attack had distinctive dogs that andy can recall,its normally someones dog lurchermen can recall rather than the owner,leastways it is with me,glad he is recovering and the incident ended relatively well for him,sadly it could have been a lot worse,those two guys need stopping before the attacks escalate.
  23. I have had quite a few microlight lessons,its more primitive flying than an aeroplane,its like seat of your pants exhilaration,but i just did a paramotoring flight and landed less than an hour ago,absolutely incredible,the silence below the canopy was fantastic,truly like being a bird,and the landing was like the best rollercoaster ride ever but in total silence.
  24. One more pic,haven't a clue why they are coming up sideways?
  25. this was outside a cockfighting place,there were four fowl statues beside one of those tiny little worship places where offerings and incense sticks always burn.
