O wow! Can you get a peyote high off that..?!?!
Not that I know of Gledwood, but you can eat them after careful removal of the spines.
I once picked a prickly pair once in Malta. Nobody told me about the bloody micro-lances that get in you and prickle for days!!
Hot water ~ I've been told. That gets 'em out!
ps Trotter Donkeys going ping!!! in the donkey derby today...
Do you have Donkey Derbies in the United States? I don't think I've ever heard mention of them on TV...
Beautiful pictures!
You seriously don't have donkey derbies in America?
Honestly it's a feature of Modern Life here! Not just a choice phrase I made up... a donkey derby is something most middle class kids will have gone to if not ridden in (as for the lower orders, the city-dwellers at least don't even know that milk comes from a cow... I ask you!!)
PS as you might detect I have some ill-feeling towards the lower classes as I always wanted to be lower class and got rumbled on every attempt!!
I haven't detected any ill feeling towards anyone lately except for maybe Gordon Brown... But that's to be expected.
I have no experience with trotter donkey derbies. I did see one youtube video of a trotter donkey derby in Texas.
I noticed a super-size horse box (horse trailer in the States) attached to a super-size pick-up in the one video you posted. Was that really in the UK? I didn't think such things would fit on the roads in your parts or maybe that you be thrown in prison for driving such a thing there. There is plenty of that kind of thing here though. I was thinking of buying a travel trailer to live in now that I am homeless. I believe you call them caravans in the UK. I also believe they are much smaller in the UK and are typically towed behind cars. Here we have travel trailers the size of a small house. They are towed with monster sized one ton dually pick-ups or even class 6 or 7 commercial trucks.
Thanks for the comment Tami. Hope the fish are biting.
