An old mate of mine , is a retired senior detective. He worked on secondment in Coventry for a while , and it was the only place he ever worked that had two cid departments, one to deal with normal crime , and one to deal solely with violent crime. He reckoned that the place was a f***ing madhouse . I dated a woman from Coventry for a while . We were out as a group having a meal in a pub , for her daughters 21st . It kicked off in this pub , and they all just ran around smashing glasses and kicking tables over . The two doormen ( two proper big lumps), just left the door , and hid behind the bar , with the manager and bar staff. I'd been a doorman for years , and I'd never seen a doorman run away before .

Not your typical drug addict tramp. Seems to have a bit of respect for were he stays in the woods. I would say he has a few mental health problems, but all in all seems not a bad fella. I've never seen a homeless person exercise and keep fit before either. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Leo Sayer 3,376 Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Been binge watching Clay Hayes. Just watched Elk Camp. We're he was in Alaska for 30 days with an elk tag to bag an elk. Living in a canvas tent with his wife and 2 kids for 30 days and the dogs. His Mrs had to do so much schooling with the kids each day and all the camp fire cooking food prep washing clothes ect. Must be awesome out there to have so much freedom to be able to do such things. To freely and lawfully hunt without Joe public , keepers, farmers and dibble on your case, also to be able to camp in true wilderness miles and miles from anywhere with out seeing a soul. On our own little island old blighty packed in like sardines with people and more and more fresh faces coming daily sucking the life out and recourse out of us. Would love to see the Elk and bears and sheer wilderness of Alaska. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would you say he was genuinely as tough and game as everyone said? I've never seen anyone say he was exaggerated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
