Thread: Post a photo a week, of anything/anywhere

Some pics from Nakhon Pathom on Saturday, daughter #1 on holiday there with friends and they went to the Children's Day event

It's been snowing all night

That picture of Jacko was after he had his eye bags removed as CGS at tax payers expense

June 1974 Smithfield Market ruins, Belfast.

They look like characters from A Clockwork Orange.

^ 4 June 1974, the Great Trouser Famine, as rationing is introduced to Northern Ireland.
Or just to show off their boots?

I'm gonna call BS on your famine theory - it looks like the tailors got length and width a bit mixed up, there's heaps of cloth in them strides.

The boot thing is probably correct - so you can see all 16 eyes on the DMs as your getting your head kicked!

(wide boy pants for wide boys n gals?)

Yes, hemmed up to display their 'bovver boots'. London skinheads had done the same thing but skinnier trousers, in my memory.

Doubtless my mate Google will have pictures.

Ok, no potato famine humour.

Perhaps this is what Mr. Burgess had in mind - a subliminal message.

Came home fro work and my neighbour calls me over . . . he just returned from a fishing trip and caught a 130kg beast

A marlin?

Has he got a very large barbecue?

Seriously, what do you do with 130kg of fish?

I reckon the Marlin must be more than 130kg as my neighbour is quite a big guy and tips the scales at over 100 himself.

He cuts the thing up and freezes some and gives away quite a bit ... These are times it's good to be pescatarian
We particularly enjoy his lobster/crayfish and scallops 'hunts'
He is part owner of a good sized company and can take time when he wishes ... Hard working country boy done good.

Can't wait for my marlin steak

Great to get background on his economic status.

Your envy showing through again?

Holy Mackerel! That's a decent sized fish!

I'm not sure I've ever eaten marlin but I once had a swordfish steak in Spain and still remember it being fantastic.

I really miss eating fresh sea fish in general. These catfish and tilapia out of my pond just don't have the same flavour.

I was just telling my mate this afternoon that's got a Ferrari that I haven't had a decent fish supper for a while.

^ battered i hope

I really have no idea. He and his son go dirt-biking quite a bit. After countless broken bones he's easing up on it now.

Think Dirk is talking about the Suzuki outboard that's on the back of the boat.
