Don't mess with Gurkhas

Wonders of adrenaline. 6inch blade in his arm and had to see the broken handle to figure the rest was inside him. :D

Don`t mess with Gurkhas :thumbup:
 
Good thing that Gurkhas are (mostly) pretty good-natured. If he had wished that kid ill there woul've been some dying going on.
 
I do believe you're correct, J. W. Perhaps it was a good thing the Gurkha's wife was there or the perp may have been yeti bait.....

was walking our dogs along the river avon at my in-laws on salisbury plains, not far from stonehenge, when i looked at the edge of the woods a few feet from the path when suddenly there was a series of cheshire cat smiles in the hedgerow. there was a platoon of ghurkahs in camouflage dug in just behind. not even the dogs had noticed them on their way by. went around a corner to see the rest of their company camped in the wood. all smiles and waving hello. they were ostensibly 'guarding' the bridge we were about to cross.

You both may be correct. Gurkhas usually don't like taking life unless absolutely necessary. The perpetrator was way overmatched.
 
Gurkhas are sheepdog types. Capable of violence but only in defense of the sheeple who can't/won't defend themselves from the wolves of the world. As with a sheepdog they would never consider harming a single sheep, it just isn't in their nature to harm that which they are willing to give their lives to protect. His comment about ‘I’m proud to be a Gurkha and I’m a proud father." "I will do anything to protect myself and my family." says it exactly.
 
i do not see the new carving - must be an earlier pre-carving photo.

if you read the article the reporter says he carved "a series of upside down '9's". he 'knew' a mirror reversed things - i guess he's as dumb as the felon.
try it - 999 upside down IS 666. :) sadly neither he nor the reporter realised mirrors reverse left to right not top to bottom.

mirrored 666 =

:D

all them facial 'enhancements' will endear him to the clemency board. just saw a documentary on a guy who tattooed his whole body (15,000 seperate tats). including his neck, scalp (shaves his head), face, lips eyelids, forehead, eyebrows , and even had the whites of his eyes tattooed black & changed his irises to yellow.

his wife says she hates the tats, and his kids said to his face that he looks terrible. he complains that it is hard to get a job and he is 'discriminated' against just because of his personal choice.

Don't recall where I read it, may have been in Soldier of Fortune magazine but regardless the story was something along the lines of, "A major in the British army asked a group of Gurkhas for volunteers to make a 500 foot jump from a C-130. Nearly half of them stepped forward. When they found out they would be making the jump using parachutes the rest of the volunteered.
 
Shavru hit the nail on the head. Gurkha's and the "sheepdog" seem one in the same. The stoic, quiet, good natured Gurkha reminds me of the sheepdog's doctrine and mentality.
 
I will never be a Gurkha but I will be a sheepdog till my dying breath. Close as I'll ever get to being a Gurkha I think.

I have nothing but total respect for them.
 
Bawanna, you are definitely a sheepdog type, We have quite a few of those here in this little corner of the internet fortunately. It is a very good thing to be a sheepdog.

JW did you bring home a decent recipe for Djuvec rice? and there were these hamburger patties stuffed with the local cheese... OMG YUMM. Never got a real name for those and can't even find the type of cheese. Man I miss the Balkans...of course I was there a long time before the mess you had to be there for. Guessing it isn't the lovely place I knew back in the early 80s anymore.
 
Shavru, are you referring to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pljeskavica ? Never heard about stuffed ones, I guess those were some local variation. I'll ask my Serbian friends when I meet them.

The closest thing to that I had about two years ago in the States at "Al's Beef", but can't remember the exact name of that hamburger.

(Other somewhat similar stuff would be a version of Cordon Bleu.)
 
How about adding some nice eastern european diet* food.

Langos - a deep fried flat bread made with yeast, flour, mashed potatoes and bit of salt, topped with a crushed and chunky garlic and sour cream onion/herb sauce. go heavy on the sour cream & crushed garlic - it's good for you. sold in snack bars along the highway in slovakia, hungary (also called hungarian pizza), romania, bulgaria, etc. with regional variations. best is sprinkle panacetti (fried bacon chunks) on top of the garlic sauce.

*-i never said it was a 'healthy' diet.:) it will add a certain eastern mystique to your body aromas.

Ive had Macedonian mousaka (sp?) It was kind like meatloaf. They used to make a puffy flat bread to go with it and serve it with potatoes. Man that was so good:p
 
I have mousaka in the fridge right now :).

Langos - as a connaiseur :P, if I may - as long as you have the deep-fried flat-bread, it is a langos. Some people just salt it and eat it as it is, and, believe me, it is great!

Besides the delicious and quite elaborate topping pictured there (dang it makes my mouth wet!), you can have it with all kinds of toppings, even sweet. Oh, and you have the stuffed version, too. A favorite of mine is with a very simple garlic sauce - basically water and garlic that has been crushed and slightly salted ("mujdei") or salty cheese and dill.
