  1. 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 .
  2. 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.
  3. 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 .
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  9. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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 .
  13. 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 .
  14. 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 .
  15. My kids are 28 and 30 , and I still tell them santa brings the presents .
  16. I bet you didn't get a cold for the rest of the winter though .
  17. Don't worry ol mate , I'll be sending you a freshly washed hamster , dressed in a santa suit , and we'll lubricated with goose fat . That'll take your mind off the Kings speech. Ho ho ho .
  18. You best hope she never sees this .
  19. I filled the car in 6 hours and came home . Fortunately , I was just in time to catch your denial sir .
  20. Now come on , you put much worse in your mouth than an olive .
  21. God I bet that tastes fantastic. I wouldn't have taken the veggies out though.
  22. Those mushrooms look like they taste fantastic.
  23. I'll try anything once , but hairy nostrils is a line that I would never cross .
  24. Ooohhh , I do love a big fat Cuban
  25. Theirs worse jobs I suppose . I smell it every day , it seems like half the people that drive or walk past me are using it , and it pretty much all smells the same , apart from the odd one that really stinks something awful.
