Tennis

While suffering at my mothers the last week the US tennis open has been going on, now I used to be a sports fan 'once upon a time' (sounds like one of those nursery rimes they used to feed us as kids). How these days I have real problems watching any kind of sport (some will say I have problems, others will say it's my imagination and I need help) I would say the people watching tennis are the ones needing help and the rest of you can p___ off!, but I digress, Tennis has to be one of the most stupid games ever, and the people that play it should be locked up with people that watch it, (perhaps they already are) they must be insane lets face it, from a distance or even close up this game is complete madness, we have two people sometimes four standing on a flat surface with some lines drawn on it with a net between them, then give them a couple of balls, yes balls, the things we throw for dogs to chase, but in this case the people are going to hit them with a racket across the net, not a dog in site, but you could argue the people playing tennis have about the same IQ though and the people watching even less. On with the game, the ball is then hit over the net and then the person hits it back over the net. People pay huge sums of hard earned cash to watch this going on, you have to wonder how hard is it to make money really if all you can find time to do with it is spend it watching people hitting a little green ball over a net, hold the phone the people that get really good at hitting the green ball over the net are payed huge sums of money (any wonder as they must be bored out of there minds). If someone from another planet just happened to arrive at the Tennis, before we got a chance to find out where they came from they might die of laughter, perhaps this is what the game is all about, it's really is a defense against alien invasion, we are hoping they will all laugh themselves to death, I just think they will take one look and say NO sign of intelligent life down here lets try somewhere else.

Lost in Asia My old mate Kelly (The Admiral) who has a sister ship to mine and encouraged me to sail offshore said “Rod if you make it to Asia, you will never leave”, he might be right. Not a lot to report, currently anchored in Busuanga bay (Busuanga island) northern Palawan. I really like it here, great spot, good internet, water 1 peso a litre, a 35 minute scooter ride to Coron the main town, four resorts in the bay so plenty of dinner choices, nice breeze most days. I’m heading home late April and on return will head down early June to Malaysia (borneo) for the SouthWest monsoon season, then come back here in November.

Jannine the sacrifice

 I'd been having the usual problems with stinking Billy Goats and Red Skins (Deer) lately, bringing a couple of pups on has added to the problems, the Girls though had been catching the odd pig, between dogging deer into the tide and chewing on bloody Goats.  A couple of weeks ago they even found a rear pig, a very grumpy little boar in-fact, this fella wouldn't have weighed 85lb, but he had a bad case of small mans disease and managed to rip Ming and Lu up to the point the scene was looking like a Tarantino movie, mainly maybe because it took my sad old tired ass awhile to get to the punch-up, anyway that was two weeks ago and the darlings had recovered from their wounds, so we were rearing to go friday morning, friday being the start of the Woodburne tavern PIG& deer hunt!   My sister Di and partner had some friends here for a break over the long weekend, they were chilling out after the wine harvest know-less and one of them Jannine had hunted wit...

Getting back out there.

It had been a sad few days, with lots of reminders of Ming everywhere. It's times like this I start to question why I hunt with dogs, whats the point! There are lots of arguments around Pig hunting with dogs, humans have been hunting with dogs, since not long after the first wolf was first tamed, we then started breeding them, to the point where we now have a huge variety, mainly descendants of hunting breeds, even the poodle was a hunting dog originally used by wealthy Germans to hunt ducks. Without a doubt, dogs love to hunt and they especially love to hunt with their owners, who I believe get just as much pleasure from the hunting as the dogs do, just like we love to compete, huntings hardwired into our nature. Some of-course say pig hunting is barbaric. This argument coming from someone who doesn't eat animals or use animal products, is a compelling argument, but for anyone who eats meat, yet then likes to criticise pig hunters, I would say, if you can't bring ...
