At the moment mate sitting on powder white sand under a palm tree drinking ice cold coke from a bottle and contemplating life,its dark and warm water is lapping at the shore,southern mindanao,cotabato province,one of my kids took some good footage of the bats,if he uploads to youtube i will stick it up,I never went into the caves as the first thing they do when spooked and flitting around is empty their bladders,i went in one once and came out stinking of ammonia piss

Just went to a bat roost as dusk was setting,didn't stay too long as the mozzies were coming in squadrons,the heat coming from the entrances was 2,000,000 bats packed closer than sardines,I went at dusk to see if any pythons or monitors were feeding but i was a bit early as all i saw were a number of rats,I took a shedload of pics with my camera at different entrances,i will try and get them off the camera sometime this week,I saw a few dead bats on the ground covered in cockroaches and assorted creepy-crawlies...

No Qb,i am in south mindanao,I will get some pics,the guy has also made a 12 bore shotgun but got rid of it due to the cost of cartridges,the word jolen means marble in the local dialect.

I was snorkelling earlier,came out of the water to dry off and started chatting to an old guy sitting under the coconut-trees,he was hunting with what I took to be an airgun,maybe a home-made PCP,but its not a PCP it works on combustion from an electric-spark from one of those spark-lighters for a gas cooker igniting paint-thinner or stripper,it fires marbles,the little glass things we played with as kids. I worked it out,it cost him 3-4 quid to build,weighs around a kilo,and is powerful enough to kill a person,he uses it to shoot bats,cats,stray dogs,all are eaten,necessity is the mother of

We have a brand new air-conditioned galleria,only opened in november,going to a gamefowl derby there tomorrow.

No donor matching?

Excellent result,whats his degree in mate?My eldest flunked his vet-med course third year,the amount of study was incredible,he was gutted but bounced straight back and got onto a different course,the youngest was offered sports scholarships by 3 different unis but never took them up and is studying medicine,I think your boy has the right idea with australia and is doing you proud,he seems like the sort of guy who will make things happen.

Yeah,the worlds biggest Rousette fruit bat colony is a couple of miles away from here,its in the guinness book of records 1.8-2 million bats,I have visited it quite a few times and its nothing unusual to see pythons lurking around,christmas day in the jungle for you mik?

Roast-pig,seriously the smell makes me vomit,we are spending christmas day on talikud island snorkelling,but the kids have bought two suckling pigs to spit roast
-
Excellent footage,I was in borneo earlier this year going up a similar river by boat with a mate,thick rainforest.

Never saw the attraction of nigella,not in the same league as someone like Linda Lusardi.

Just been watching the news CNN i think,I caught the tail-end of the report,2 cops executed while sitting in their patrol car by a guy who had previously stated online he was going out to send "Pigs to heaven" in revenge for some of the white cop/black victim shootings of 2014,this is going to set tensions rising.

I know how sexually repressed the country is

Reminds me of Dog the bounty hunter and his sidekick "Youngblood" who was caught naked in his truck pleasuring himself as schoolkids walked past

One thing I always remember about Peshawar and places like 'Pindi is the lack of unaccompanied women around,they spent their time in the home or compound,they don't venture out alone.
-
RIP the kids. Peshawar and the NWFP as we used to call the area or as its now known khyber pakhtunkhwa is a very dodgy place even before this massacre,poor kids.

Hope its ends safely for the captives,bangsamoro islamic freedom fighters or one of their splinter groups detonated a device on a bus close to here last week killing 11 and injuring maybe 40,the local major isnt a soft touch and they certainly wont end up in a prison cell if they are caught.

Lost internet connection :blink:final classic example of multicultural britain.......Bradford,its like rawalpindi's rajah baazar on a friday morning the tipping point will be when UK gets an islamic prime-minister and thats only a matter of time...............
-
I love that word "multicultural" it depicts a utopian neighbourhood where everyone lives harmoniously together irrespective of creed,colour,ethnicity or religious belief,but its a myth and as soon as you challenge it the Racist scareword comes out like a big stick,yeah multicultural britain where ethnic ghetto's have cropped up and flourished in ever increasing number Hounslow high street before the polish/eastern european invasion was a scene from the indian sub-continent,slough the same,peckham awash with nigerians,luton kashmiri's,brick-lane area bangladeshis,multiculturalism is a spin w

I have 140,000 MG3 pineapples on a contractual agreement with DOLE,its small scale compared to some of the big guys,I will take a few pics when I get time,the strain is less acidic than some. -
Spend enough time in walking street your going to see sharky ward,big guy big presence and personality,rumour is the thai's are blacklisting him but pattaya thrives on rumour so who knows the truth,the area is a magnet for larger-than-life characters and downright oddities as are most of the fleshpot SEA towns,i live not a stonesthrow from one and the best entertainment is people watching.

I love dark water and pitch black nothingness,I once tried to write my name in wee when green bioluminescence coloured the water as I took a boat ride at night.

Always adhere 100% to the letter of your own moral codes and laws and theres going to be a place in heaven for you Thats my personal interpretation of life anyway
