    Been right on the border mate,Urumqi and Xinjiang,get yourself up into the Tien Shan awesome mountains although Almaty is in the foothills of the Alatua range.Try drinking Kumiss . Theres an economic boom there at the moment,oil and gas,maybe thats pushed accommodation prices up as migrant workers flood in?

    Those "Badger-type things" are those big orange Marmots I saw in Xinjiang and Mongolia,met a few marmot hunters among the uigurs,and yes,they do eat their dogs.

    Excellent for sprat,though nowadays I normally use mine for small freshwater fish when live baiting pike or perch,thats the versatility of these nets mate

    mackem are they ring necked parakeets? Theres reckoned to be over 7000 ring necked in the area,but we also have a small colony of orange-winged parakeets up the road in weybridge,local twitchers were delighted last year when a peregrine which frequented the area began targetting the birds

    Soviet Bazaar I always used to imagine Ruski factory ships trading zenith NVG's for levi jeans and marlboros Going trout netting later tonight with mine,going to see if I can watch the fish hit the net rather than just hear the slapping on the surface Good luck with your purchase

    Well,its a bit of an anti-climax,like finding the meaning of life in the middle pages of The Sun

    Chupacabra spoken of with the same reverence in crytozoological circles as the Mongolian Death Worm and the Orang Pendek and I finally find a pic of one in the terrier section of THL
