Re: Trip to Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China

Once again BG, apologies for taking away from your great report - I do love the photo pointing out that the "largest" is insured for 100 Million RMB. Just trying to imagine what would happen to someone taking a chip off it and would the insurance pay out!! :shock:

Re: Trip to Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China

It does look fantastic, shame the visa is such a ballache for certain passport holders. Getting a visa through places in HK used to be the way for many UK, Aus, US passport holders. For me, it's pretty straightforward for a visit for obvious reasons. If you really want to go, I'm sure the LHG can o...

Re: Trip to Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China

You worked in China for some years but never went up this mountain? My wife has returned back from the same trip this morning - she enjoyed going back and forth across the glass bridge - not for me!! Hell no.. I lived and worked in China for 12 plus years... I had the privilege of working in places...

Re: The Boxing Thread

I saw Tyson a couple months ago when I was in Las Vegas. He looked in real good shape, I think he will crush Paul if he takes the fight seriously. Tyson can be (and always has been) a frightening beast - even at his age his punching power is quite something. At the end of the day though, it probabl...

And back to the beautiful game.... :wink: An absolutely shitty week(end) for me... :banghead: :cuss: Bath lose to Sarries, DM's 'Queens beat Northampton, Ospreys stuffed in Africa, Cardiff embarrassed and the Scarlets and Dragons also losing, beit narrowly.

Re: The Boxing Thread

Well Christ, a farce when it was first announced as an "Exhibition Match" and now quite frankly dangerous. Paul is an @arswipe and Tyson a "reformed" thug (of course). I do wish Tyson was a fair few years younger, but with him being close to 60, this fight is quite frankly crimin...

Re: The Recommended Movies Thread

The First Omen (2024) is just coming through, will be available very shortly. A prequel to the original omen movie of the 70s. A good cast, fairly mixed reviews. (Bill Nighy plays a cardinal in it, DM 🤓) The ORIGINALS are still the best - far too many classics.... :thumb: And as an aside "lost...

Re: Premier League 2023-24

"Declan Rice kicked the wrong ball..." - Shouldn't it be attempted to and still missed? Manchester United look set to gut the majority of their squad. :shock: As should many of the teams - there was a comment the other day with the Man City Manager bitching about injuries/lack of players ...

Well yes, but that's neither the question or the argument... Who exactly are "those Asians" btw? :?
