The rubbery bits of your turtle soup would have been the flippers. Can bounce right off your fork!. The green fat is off-putting, but the red meat is suprisingly beef-like.Quote:

I think those sections are both of tortoises, BTW. I may be wrong about the 2nd one, and it may be a turtle, but the first is certainly a tortoise.
When the big shark you hooked is not the biggest shark in the water...

^^Good suggestion. I didn't think of that. Was thinking great white because this, I believe, was in South Africa, but orca makes sense.
Mind you, they said in the commentary that they didn't see what took the mako. I would expect that orcas might have been obvious had they been around.
^Orca only eat the livers of sharks.That bite was from a shark.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ear...at-sharks.html
Several populations of skilled orcas around the world have learned how to overcome sharks using a combination of superior brain power and brute force.
The Great White and Mako are just two of at least nine species of shark known to be eaten by some orca families.
10 million years ago turtles could swallow you and not even burp.

Maanaam, Bermagui is in the south coast of NSW -OZ.
I spent some time in the Falkland Is. At certain times of the year the local homesteaders are allowed to harvest Penguin eggs. I stayed with a family on their farm settlement and they offered me Poached Penguin Eggs. I didn't get a piccy and was quite hungover as they properly plied me with local brew the previous night. I nearly chucked the eggs up the following morning, the Whites were translucent, the Yolk was almost red and they smelt and tasted of fish - not the most pleasant brekkie i've ever had. The piccy below is of boiled ones but you get the idea.

Oh, ok. I didn't know. For some reason (probably that the guys were specifically shark hunting) I assumed it was SA. I thought Aus frowned upon shark hunting.Quote:

TB Treatment for Children at Springfield House Open Air School. London. UK, 1932

Could be the Chiang Mai safe zone. :)
^^Lots of TB around in those days.
I knew an old woman in her 90s who until her dying day called TB “consumption".
Those cots with pipe frames... I would expect in 1932 they would have been wood frames. And the architecture seems out of place for London 1932. But apparently it's genuine.Quote:

Not bamboo. No sections, all smooth.Quote:

SOP at the time I've been told.Quote:

Adding the roadway.
16 people died building the bridge.
One was the grandfather of my neighbour as a kid.
He survived the horrors of World War I on the western front but died after being crushed by a falling girder while sitting in a meal room during his lunch break.
