thanks be to urban..I now remember to watch tonights prog

I do love this
Same here!

First time I'd switched on the 'puta since this morning too :D

Great timing! Woo!

Get them thar reindeer!!!!! :)
 
"Reindeer love the salt content of urine, so no matter what time of day you go for a wee you're never alone. And those antlers are pointy!" :D
 
Missed it again but I'll catch the repeat

I watched last week's repeat except I can't remember when I watched it :D

Judging by the descriptions here though, people who enjoyed it would probably enjoy Story of the Weeping Camel

That bit was funny. :D

Food for thought at the end though: '-What good is material comfort, if the cost is freedom?'

That bit stuck in my mind too - it was very 'something' (big word cant think of it...I want to say symbolic but thats wrong...poignant? *goes to look up piognant) yeah poignant.

I want a cuddly reindeer! so i can skin him and make a nice house

Paradoxically given its TV source, that's vaguely one of the reasons I'm binning my TV in exactly a month's time :)

Wonder if Bruce's partner watched last night where he said riding with reindeer was so romantic that if his partner was with him he would have proposed....aaahhh

If it's any consolation, lambs are 18-foot towers of muscle, grizzle and teeth with scaly hides, and small, glowing, malevolent coals for eyes. They hunt in packs, and eat human babies unless they're shot by foolhardy tribes of lamb huntsmen, who dare the Antarctic elements with nothing more than a blunt spoon for a weapon. After all - they are noble souls who want nothing more than a fair fight to, uh, bring home the bacon (so to speak :))
Exactly why the Welsh and Kiwis are so hard.
 
Last nights programme was amazing...just stunning. I kept shouting, laughing and whooping at the telly. He looked so cute in his new clothes and he comes across as such a gracious man. (think I may have a crush on him now...)

his mild mannered good naturedness annoys me. Nobody is THAT nice

Im reminded of that scene in The Omen when Damien freaks the fuck out when the family approach the church. :)

why not? :confused: You want him to start picking fights with the people he's living with? Or throwing a tantrum? I'm sure he has his moments but I can't imagine they'll be showing it.

Anyway, last night's programme was all the more fascinating as I'd never ever seen that kind of living before (more used to the rainforest ones as they've been done to death), especially how they all chose that way of life, and how they couldn't bear to be confined to 4 walls. lovely.

And when the little fella got upset because his grandad had gone to town, and when his grandad came back, the conversation they had was so touching and loving.

Well I like to believe he is.:p ;)

yes drinking reindeer blood 'hmm its salty, not bad, quite thick, a bit lumpy, tastes meaty *stops* *removes large chuck of congealed/frozen blood*...very lumpy'

I agree, he's hiding something.
I think it was on the travellers thread that someone posted a dinky excerpt centred on a community of travellers down the road who were well behaved, polite, tidy, law-abiding, kept sociable hours and had immaculately pleasant children.

"I wonder what they're really up to" :)
 
Out on the tundra, they have to do what they do to survive and i think making a living is just an added extra (albeit quite a handy one!).

If youve got your house, warmth, shelter, food and tv and all that theres no real feeling of having to do your job whatever that might be to stay alive - that element gets lost. Youre not surviving, youre just being.
