Quite normal to climb outside planes and helicopters with a parachute on. Done 3000 skydives +- and around 500 base jumps where I have been climbing buildings, spans, antennas, cranes and mountains before we exit. And yes Bear Grylls is the real deal like it or not. He have an tendency to hype up things for making tv for average joe, but he know what he is doing most of the time. Drinking your own urine is still not to recomend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neeranam Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Lots of things on my bucket list, so that means not yet. Hope I'm not in the last stage of it but would accept that. At 20, my friends said I'd be dead by 30. I said I'd be happy with 50, which has been surpassed. Many old friends are dead. Since getting sober, done many things that make me smile, including starting 'Thai AA', becoming a Thai citizen, having a loving family and many friends, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't drink stale urine though. The problem is that it tastes revolting, so the addition of cordial is recommended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew what he was at the time, just wanted to check that particular claim to confirm. This guy had many stories of his imagined exploits. He was well known in Phuket and had even been known to collect roadside fines from tourists when working aa a Police volunteer. He inserted himself into our Sunday brunch as he knew one of our party. He provided the entertainment. He didn't realize we were laughing at him not with him. He had the sleeves on his short sleeve shirt rolled up, presumably to display his biceps, and carried handcuffs on his belt. I asked why the cuffs, and he said you never know when they will be needed. He had no response when I told him I carried handcuffs for many years and never felt the need to take them to Sunday brunch. As we were packing up and I said I'm paying the bill, he nearly pulled a hammy in his haste to get to the bar to order another glass of red, despite having a half glass in front of him. Just one of the many pathetic flotsam who wash up in Thailand. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starky Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Well i consider myself blessed dont know if its what i wanted or not but its been a fxxn wild ride. When i return this car to the shop i dont want it in concourse condition. I want the bitch flogged banged up and like she been somewhere. But more importantly in a real sense my favourite group The Streets couldnt have put it any better than in these lyrics from "On the edge of a cliff" For billions of years since the outset of timeEvery single one of your ancestors survivedEvery single person on your mum and dad's sideSuccessfully looked after and passed onto you lifeWhat are the chances of that, like?It comes to me once in a whileAnd everywhere I tell folk, it gets the best smile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
