  1. I wonder if that wonder-fly would suffice for carp?I have top carp lakes on the doorstep,Thorpe-lea,Twynersh,Wraysbury etc,but alas no anadromous rivers,the Thames doesnt cut the mustard.
  2. Yup,try fishing somewhere like bungsamran for pla buk,f*****g hell they were all using uptiders and boat rods,I used a catrod and big-pit reel. http://www.fishthailand.co.uk/gallery/galleryhome.php?level=album&id=33
  3. 13 foot 5lb tc catfish rod?
  4. Been to China often,met good and bad people,remember china is massive,it used to fall into five different time zones,most people I met from Uigurs to Han were decent enough once you took time to chat to them,I first went when an "Alien travel permit" was needed to visit sensitive regions,still got my permit as a souvenir,times and people are changing,though I do remember a chinese copper in Xinjiang tapping his stun-gun on my table,sparking it and laughing just to try and get a reaction.
  5. Best thing about Thigh'land is the fishing,next time your in Pattaya pop around to Jomtien fishing club.
  6. Nowt spiritual when I met him,I was just there with a girl I ended up shagging.
  7. I found the article,wont bother sticking the pic up,quite disturbing.
  8. Red vest and Jimmy Sommerville haircut?
  9. Walking street.......... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYf8RL0M6Io&feature=related
  10. You could see her little form under the paper,partly visible,loads of pedestrian traffic,it took an old guy with compassion to give her a little dignity in death,people are people,good and bad in every creed.
  11. Cocks in frocks,sluts with nuts......
  12. I remember a newspaper or magazine report in the mid-late 1990's?A female child had been stillborn or died shortly after birth,dumped in a gutter in plain view of passersby,an old chinese man had covered her tiny body with a sheet of newspaper,a western guy had photographed the scene,left a lasting impression,lifes cheap in some corners of the world.
  13. Few on this forum can appreciate such a force,I can,I have sort of inherited a relative,really nice guy,got shot in a robbery maybe 18 or 19 years back,got some decent scars,once he got out of hospital the first thing he did was deal with the guy who shot him,google Davao-death squad,I did a back-seat ride-along with them several times,saw salvage on waste ground,smelt it first,as you said this countrys cops have to have traceability and accountability,no room in a civilised society's police force for rogue cops or uniformed bully boys.
  14. Dont know lab,shouldnt think so,what is interesting is in one of the most heavily surveilled parts of the capital there was no CCTV footage whatsoever of Tomlinsons incident.
  15. reports from the time..........
  16. Yeah,sorry Gnasher,that item was on the news as I was reading this,i know what your saying,just cant understand this particular plod being defended considering his past record,attempts to hide his ID during the G20,and his assault on Ian Tomlinson,lets just hope justice(however the coin lands)is served during the forthcoming trial.
  17. Local copper woman's body was found sunday,her partner an Ex-defective(sorry,freudian slip....Detective)is currently being held for the crime.
  18. Cant remember Hugh Falkus ever mentioning that pattern,intriguing.
  19. Raconteur par-excellence! Met the Dalai Lama years ago,span his prayer wheels,did a bit of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo'ing,then shook his hand,got a mate living in London who tells strange tales of celebrities he has seen taking white powder.
  20. What about train4trade skills?One of my mates actually had a rep visit his house last week,the guy/salesman was there for over an hour chatting to him and his son,the kids 18 and wants to do a spark course,Train4trade have offered him a "Full scope electrician QCF" course for just over 4k.
  21. Always wanted to be a geography or english teacher,but kids,life,mortgage got in the way,go for it Judge,while your still of that mindset.
  22. My views are jaundiced by bully-boy tactics and unfair treatment mate,I dont have a criminal record in this country,but I have still had bad dealings with plod here,though I have seen countries where they are allowed to get away with lots more and they take full advantage of the extra latitude.
  23. I ate nothing but chinese for years,even congee and crullers for breakfast day-in day-out,wouldnt touch chinese nowadays.
  24. Thats true,I have had bad dealings with the police,thats probably coloured my views against them.
