  1. Sounds like fun and I always liked "sleeping camels"I did a 20 day camel trip once when I was a kid,done a few trips like yours,longest was overland UK to Hong Kong following the old silk route,I was in Morocco earlier this year,good times,happy memories,life is all about experience and family Byron,anything else is icing on the cake,good luck and enjoy your trip.
  2. The fabled city,Timbuktu was always one of those mythical cities when I was a kid,well done that man,I have a couple of mates did it on motorbikes,you getting the ferry from Genoa or Marseilles to Tunis?What sort of timescale are you on?Enjoy your trip byron,be lucky.
  3. Happy birthday andy,and congrats on the new bairn.
  4. BBC 2 at the moment,raptor watching near the straits of Gibraltar,the guy just said he estimates to see on average 3000 raptors a day at this time of the year,250,000 raptors estimated to funnel into that tiny stretch of southern spain in autumn for migration.
  5. Heres another one for you clouseau,when I saw "Peregrine" I thought "Interesting" moreso when I saw the price,however when I saw the specimen.............Maybe not. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-old-1940-Peregrine-falcon-owl-fox-WOLF-horn-fish-bird-TRAPS-FISHING-/120801726698?pt=UK_Collectables_AnimalCollectables_SM&hash=item1c205810ea

    Cammo- why?

    There are things about cammo-"man" that are best left unsaid mate,Howver i can let slip he forsook the world of dogs and embraced the world of dog"ging"(Keep em peeled).

    Cammo- why?

    Theres only ever been one original,all others are but poor imitations(Keep em peeled).
  8. Turkish also,used to come along the so called golden route,the heroine superhighway from Afghan through Balochistan(pakistan) into iran,turkey then flooding into europe. Coca-cola is enough for me mate though I am considering stopping even that.
  9. Sorry,I have just had a pint of coke,always causes me to waffle when my sugar level is up,apologies.
  10. Every single one of them is exactly the same to be honest,power corrupts,absolute power corrupts absolutely,not one of them would know what its like to grow up on a sink-estate,live hand to mouth,worry about bills and mortgage payments,we think we are free?We are like f*cking hamsters on a wheel running...running...running for the rewards,we work 9-5 to be able to afford to buy a box which we are taxed on,we die and get another box and once again tax,we make paltry sums of cash and think we are living the life because we can afford a couple of pairs of Hugo Boss a month,a meal down the indian
  11. They would be if you reported them as such and insisted they were racially motivated,dont forget the rot is from the top-down,not the bottom-up,politicians and plod...PAP for short,both would rather see an english guy in trouble because he is an easier target and wouldnt have the backing of a dozen limp-wristed house of commons backbenchers championing his cause the way a gang of islamic 2'nd or 3'rd generation "british" would for fear of being seen as racist,reverse racism isnt such a crime in this country,its quite common so it would seem.
  12. Dont think it was a crossbow,maybe someone took a chance with a small calibre?
  13. Whats the trail cam your using mate?
  14. Just had it on good authority from an MI5/Forum member that plod is collating a list of slip-lead owning forum members,they are scouring old threads for incriminating pics showing banned leads,be aware.
  15. I remember speaking to a chinese guy about intellectual property theft,he told me that as long as there are one or two slight differences to the original your green to go,you couldnt knock up a kania type could you?I priced Kanias in Bulk(500)in Canada,the 2000 works out at £18. and the 2500 was £15.65,this was the basic trap price bough in bulk and without shipping costs etc.You want to think about producing some of your ideas.

    THE-END

    Always reminds me of "Apocalypse Now"..........Excellent tune,thanks LH.
  17. Thats Buddhists for you,assume the lotus position,chant a little then self-immolate,Tibetan monks were and are into fire-baptism,theres one flame-grilled himself this week in protest of something or other,I suppose after that first lungfull of flame your finished,your lungs and throat would be seared to f*ck.

    Cammo- why?

    Forgot to add the pic,senility I guess.

    Cammo- why?

    Like this one?I saw a few of these guys in spain a month or so back.Got to admit the very best spearfishermen I have ever seen used home-made spearguns,masks,and fins with no modern accessories.
  20. Theres current debate on the technical legalities of blue polypropylene multi-plait,best hang fire before putting in any bulk-spool rope orders,maybe try cord,braid or a thinner twine?Either way the onis of proof is always going to be on you that its usage is non-slip related.
  21. Spontaneous human combustion?Self immolation in penitence for his crimes?Or maybe he just p*ssed the wrong people off?
  22. Ferret Harnesses.....Terrier-couplings.....Baler-twine......(and Nintendo Wii accessory packs)legislation is being drafted and finalised as we speak.
  23. New Labour were contemplating a zero-tolerance policy,fast-tracking sliplead owners through the justice system as quickly as possible with short-sharp-shock sentencing for first time owners,and longer spells of incarceration for repeat offenders,the offence has been categorised in order of severity with padded-webbing softex single slips carrying a lesser sentence than oiled-leather brass-fittings double Altcar slips.
