    Dont give him any ideas,we are going to get subliminal catapult images flashing up.

    THE END.............(And the guy lived happily ever after).

    Seeing as it was his SECOND offence regarding frying dogs,AND he obviously has a screw loose somewhere because he tried to commit suicide for either a sympathy vote or a smoke-and-mirrors distraction from his canine killing actions,I think he got off very,very lightly,but then again,he is a copper.
  4. mackem
    Indeed he has,havent you watched the show?Those rustic-garbed russet-cheeked countryfolks quaffing rose-hip punch and munching Hughes very own Pigeon Pitta Pockets while dexterously peeling manglewurzels for the next recipe,why.......they are his RIVER COTTAGE CHUMS!

    Some of the most interesting people have spent a little time inside,he sounds a character,as we become more civilised such individuals are becoming rarer.

    Met an old guy on Gib day a few weeks ago,dodgy legs,rheumy eyes(him,not me)and a little bit hard of hearing,could have kept an audience spellbound for hours with tales of the korean war,a self effacing quite old guy but what a pleasure to meet him,age brings wisdom,experience,and character to many,your grandad was probably the same Matty,lots to learn from these sort of people,sadly they are often gone by the time we realise this.

    Charts,I have always wanted a couple of months just bumming around in hicksville,especially if there was a bit of cougar or bear or similar,always wanted to bowhunt a cougar,but wouldnt mind seeing pronghorn going full-pelt........

    ALL voice-overs should be big-brother stylee,maybe tone it down a tad,somewhere between byker-grove and Robson Green would do.....

    As are many of those who pass judgement upon lesser mortals in their courts of law,and those who make the laws of the land themselves,most of whom appear to live in cloud cuckoo land going by the state of the country.

    Heath robinson or not if its going to save you being fleeced for extra cash its got to be worth it right?Theres loads of similar sites to alibaba Red,batteries and chargers. http://www.made-in-china.com/productdirectory.do?subaction=hunt&style=b&mode=and&code=0&comProvince=nolimit&order=0&isOpenCorrection=1&word=lithium+battery+pack&by=%2Fproductdirectory.do http://www.made-in-china.com/productdirectory.do?subaction=hunt&style=b&mode=and&code=0&comProvince=nolimit&order=0&isOpenCorrection=1&word=lithium+battery+charger&by=

    Pennywell is a small place mate,he said the only litters in the last 3 months he has heard about are bullX,as you said someone might see this?Theres a couple of lads on here from surrounding estates.
  12. mackem
    Yhen we have different perceptions of the same program,not the end of the world.
  13. mackem
    I rang the guy I thought it was Lee,not his,the litter he bred would be about five months old now or thereabouts,he sold the last of his at some show up in kielder,blanchland or somewhere?Sorry mate,dead end.
  14. mackem
    Not that lab,but he has started to believe the HFW legend as of late,much better would be a kick-off twixt HFW,Oliver and Ramsey,my cash is on Gordy.
  15. mackem
    They are chefs mate,nowt else,f8ck sakes I can fry a pan of chips with the best of them,but they believe their own legend,I remember Gordy going to f*cking Costa f*cking Rica to confront and track down the shark-finners,didnt save a single hammerhead nor white-tip,you honestly think the chinese will stop their shark-fin soup trade because of Gordon f*cking Ramsay?They hype themselves up,I remember Ramsay said he was doused in petrol,held at gunpoint etc while investigating the trade,what a load of toffee,he would still be in therapy had that happened.
  16. mackem
    He is a businessman plain and simple,not some downsizing principled peoples-hero,his journalism background gave him some insight into how the media works,his self publicising ideas like the placenta-eating and the River-cottage back to nature ideology keep him in the public eye,thats it,plain and simple.
  17. mackem
    He went to Eaton,then Oxford,and wrote for the Sunday Times when he graduated,says it all really,as for the puppies-taste-nice publicity,he did a similar thing years ago with a human placenta,any publicity is better than no publicity at all methinks.
  18. mackem
    Unlikely to get a refund from Deben,but your thinking on the right track,it shouldnt be difficult with a little savvy to offer these batteries at a much cheaper rate,the big firms always make cash on the ignorance of their customers.
  19. mackem
    You have just given him a whole raft of ideas for next years courses,cow-milking,goat-milking and when the appeal of those starts to pale PIG-milking(I wonder if pig cheese would sell???).
  20. mackem
    Any shoplifting tips?Apart from dont get caught obviously.
  21. mackem
    Sell out?I should think he is making top dollar then,with the amount of staff he now employs and courses he offers,bargain starting at £230 a day to learn how to be a genuine dyed-in-the-wool country peasant... http://www.rivercottage.net/shop/product/one_day_at_park_farm/ He started out with the right intentions maybe,saw where the vehicle was heading,and sold out to the highest bidder,cant say I wouldnt have done the same in his shoes,but take the river-cottage experience for what it is,its good TV and thats it.
  22. mackem
    Your their token peasant Tomo,its good to play at being skint and living off the land for some people,for others its not a game,its a harsh reality,plenty of people in this country live hand to mouth,river-cottage is now just a business,the original concept was good however,but HFW I think had always aimed it at the middle-classes,how many working class guys have a £750k smallholding to "Survive" on?
  23. mackem
    He is an upper middle-class fop mate,I remember everyone saying how brave he was trying to survive in River cottage,trying to survive????F*cking hell how much was the production budget?They were never going to let him starve,he sometimes has a few peasants around his gaff to leaven out the social mix but he is most certainly not slumming it,he does river-cottage "classes" now where the middle-classes can go and learn how to live-off the land and do working class things.
  24. mackem
    Nah,thats balut,they boil the embryo at 17+ days,quite nice actually once you psychologically get past the little bones etc crunching,the taste itself is fine.

    Had ostrich a few times,better than croc.
