It only had a tiny garden, that I had filled with kennels and ferret cages and a hawk mews. Back then you used to get these book club buying offers in the tabloids. We're you signed up and got the first 5 books virtually for nothing but then had to buy a books every month at full price. So I used sign up and get first free books then fook it off lol. I used get some weird and wonderful books to satisfy my thirst for life. Some books I once got was on cock fighting. Poor old mum absolutely drew the line at me keeping cocks in the garden as well lol. And my cock fighting career ended right there lol.

As a kid I read a paragraph in a Plummer book about cockfighting in the Philippines,when I lived in Hong Kong it was cheap to fly to Manila,I went a few times to the Araneta in Quezon City for the world championships,then when I moved over to Mindanao I went most Sundays,it’s huge business over there,the atmosphere in a decent cockpit is incredible,go if you can,every village,town,city has cockfighting on Sundays,something you would never forget. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Still can in the north of France, but the aRSePCA have been known to collect UK registration plates. Im not long back from Thailand & there was game looking fowl everywhere, I was riding an elephant through the jungle & a pair of stags were at it outside a hut, the mahoot pointed at them laughing & said 'Muay Thai'!

Which was 2 weeks before the earthquake. The animal section of the market is surreal, they had a big fire not long before so was slightly less to see, but at every turn just wasn't sure what I'd see, which kinda sums up Bangkok Quote Link to post Share on other sites
