    I'm guessing that would be very difficult to do . Just bolt them together with a large plastic flange in each ibc , and cut the hole out . That's another one to add to the project list.

    You've made a tidy job of that mate

    I could set up something like that in my woodland, with water running in from the shed roof. I'd always have fresh trout for the bbq

    I like the sound of that as well . I wonder if trout could be grown on in a set up like that .

    That just made me think about one of the farms that I shoot on . All of the cattle drinkers around the fields had goldfish in them.

    Depending on how big your pond is , you can get pond heaters . The one I used to use , was like a fish tank heater , only inside a stainless steel tube , and with a polystyrene collar , so that it floated on the surface of the pond , and keeps the water just above freezing . My pond isn't that big ,10' x 10' , so a bigger pond might be much harder to stop freezing.
  7. It's weird, but I quite like the idea of a sky burial .
  8. You good ol Norfolk boys have a culture all of your own .
  9. I seem to remember one culture that smokes the dead to cure them , and keeps them on show . Again , that would seem insane to most of us , but cultures can be vastly different, and full respect to them if it brings them comfort .
  10. That sounds absolutely horrific, but we're very sheltered from death in this country . To those people, it's just the way it is I suppose.
  11. I think it was the same documentary that showed the burning of bodies on the banks of the ganges . Poorer people couldn't always afford enough wood to fully burn the body of a loved one , so half burned bodies were just thrown into the ganges .
  12. That's true. Our lives would seem insane to them . It's hard to believe that human beings could live such different lives , yet still thrive.
  13. It seems freakishly macabre to us , but if they have the belief that God created everything , so everything is OK, it must be a unbelievably stress free way to live your life . I would imagine it could get quite lonely though , as they walk away from family , and everything they previously knew.
  14. I watched a documentary if I remember correctly. It was about the many and varied religions in India. I found it fascinating that they could eat anything , even human flesh or dog faeces, as God created everything , so everything was good . They have no possessions , and can walk around naked , and nobody even gives them a second glance.
  15. Are sadhu the ones that have no possessions ?, and eat food from a human skull ?.

    I've just been listening to rainy night in soho . It's a song that I used to sing to my late wife. It made me smile , but also brought a tear to my eye.
  17. The dumb ass has got seven years to wait for his next kebab , so that'll probably be cold as well. He's invented a whole new level of stupid.

    He certainly had a wild ride. RIP Shane.
  19. I drive the exact same car . Its been the best all round vehicle I've ever owned by far , until today when I was trying to change the heater motor , now its just a complete and utter xxxx.
  20. He was telling me that you couldn't smoke in the street when you'd finished a meal in a restaurant, so they'd let you have a fag in the kitchen . He walked into a corner shop when he was out there , and running it was one of his Indian mates from uni .
  21. Lins lad went to India for three months a few years ago . The only time he had the trots , was the one time he ate in an English restaurant out there .
  22. My last one is looking to move out . He left once , then came back with a girlfriend in tow . She didn't move in , she just popped in one day and never went home. I can't complain , at least she keeps him out of trouble .
  23. My kids are 28 and 30 , and I still tell them santa brings the presents .
  24. I bet you didn't get a cold for the rest of the winter though .
