kalder comments on Job hunting in Colombia....hard work!!!

What became of the haut monde Rocinante and his Colombia-based business?

kalder comments on Bases militares estadounidenses en Colombia

What's wrong with American bases anyway? In Britain it just means a few polite, well-dressed young men putting money into the local economy.

kalder comments on college football kickoff

No, no point (not laughing because I'm at work and it's monday) beyond genuine curiosity. That's an enormous difference -100 pounds- between now and the 50s. Do any ancients ever claim the game was better back in the day?

kalder comments on college football kickoff

Wasn't it played without the body armour until the 50s?

kalder comments on college football kickoff

Any of those chaps ever spice things up a bit and dump the helmets and paddding?

kalder comments on Bull fighting in Colombia?

"It is very difficult to understand bull fights if you were not born and raised in Spain or a Latin country, and your parent took you to them." Quite so. It's very difficult to understand lawn bowls if you weren't born in an anglo-saxon country too. Impenetrable mystery. Just can't be done.

kalder comments on Chavez should launch 'war' against crisis, not against Colombia, say Venezuelan prelates

Well said Padre.

kalder comments on The Grip Tightens

Jaja Brit, thanks for the vote of confidence. Mind you, I was thinking more of a violent putsch when it came to Brent Council...get to that flogging in double quick time.

kalder comments on The Grip Tightens

But there's the rub- a vote for UKIP is a vote less for the Tories, not Labour. Which, done on too large a scale, will let the likes of Harman, Balls and Mandelson get their hands on the country for yet another term. And quite probably destroy it for good this time. I don't see any choice other than voting Conservative.

kalder comments on The Grip Tightens

Neither.

kalder comments on

Sounds like the bar needed a few strippers...

kalder comments on Hijacked Again. "The Religion of Peace" according to delusional state-run media.

Yes, I rather imagine they would Vinod. Hindus and Sikhs are dependably supportive of traditional British values.

kalder comments on John Allen Muhammad to be executed tonight

God, I remember that case in the papers.

kalder comments on The Grip Tightens

Philip Blonde is a Tory. And possibly the finest political mind in Britian today. If Cameron listens to him, we may have a chance to salvage the country. http://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/2009/02/riseoftheredtories/

kalder comments on The Grip Tightens

I vote UKIP. Which isn't an entire waste of a ballot slip in the European elections. But who to vote for in the national and local ones? Difficult, very difficult- UKIP are a one issue outfit and casting for them only splits the non-Marxist vote. The BNP are too feral, too full of coked up soccer fans and barroom nutters to be worthy of consideration. The Tories? Well, it was their ghastly, Faustian pact with neo-liberalism under Thatcher that helped get the country into such a mess in the first place...but, but, but, I think I'm going to vote for them next year. Cameron may be a spineless, liberal creep on the make, but at least there's still significant anti-Left cohorts in his party. Perhaps even a critical enough mass of them to eventually roll back some of the profoundly anti-family, anti-democratic and anti-British measures imposed on us by the champagne socialists and campus communists of the NuLabour machine. Perhaps...

kalder comments on The Grip Tightens

Britain is slum run by Marxists, to a soundtrack of police sirens, rap music and the call to prayer. The Labour Party should be hung.

kalder comments on Hijacked Again. "The Religion of Peace" according to delusional state-run media.

The Poles, Greeks and Russians would fight.

kalder comments on The Grip Tightens

Out boozing on Saturday, I got talking to the Polish doorman. He said to me that Britain had been one of the finest countries in the world. "How could you have been so stupid as to let the socialists destroy it?" he asked. Miserably, drunkenly, I nodded.

kalder comments on And Here I Thought This Only Happened In Colombia! Big Bloody At Fort Hood

What kind of moral imbecile would do that to his own comrades?

kalder comments on from my family to pbh members

Dreadful, absolutely dreadful. I'm deeply sorry for your loss Doug. I've lost a sibling too- it's a terrible thing. God bless you.

kalder comments on What is your favorite Funny song in Colombia? Vargis Vil? MUSICA CARRILERA? Gaucha? Despecho?

"La Verraquera" Octavio Mesa. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SI-um1-JwN4

kalder comments on Colombian taxis.

If you went into a kindergarden and distributed car keys at random, you'd still get safer, more responsible drivers than you do on the streets of Colombia.

kalder comments on Excellent review on Colombia

Damn those worthless Protestant Irish. I mean, it's not as if the likes of Samuel Beckett, Sean O'Casey, Oscar Wilde, W.B. Yeats, Bernard Shaw, Jonathan Swift, Edmund Burke, Edward Pakenham, Gordon Wilson or Michael Morris have ever done anything for the fame and renown of the Emerald Isle...

kalder comments on Strictly salsa

I say, what an accurate, pinsharp picture of what Cali's actually like! I'd recomend it to all gap year kids. They can get boozed up on aguardiente, wander about Juanchito after hours and have a jolly old time dancing the night away with the friendly locals.

kalder comments on Chica's temper

My wife's pretty tolerant and easy going.

kalder comments on

Which name's that then?

kalder comments on Overweight, socially inept, badly dressed gringos

See? Not a Colombiana in sight.

kalder comments on Who the hell told Johnny Rivera he could Sing?

'El Solterito' was funny.

kalder comments on Sex Tourism Opens New Wounds for French Elite

The moral cretinism of the French elite knows no bounds. But what do you expect from by a coterie whose intellectual wellspring is the absurd and evil shite spouted by Sarte, Derrida and Foucault?

kalder comments on You can't win

It sounds like you've trained him up pretty thoroughly in the kitchen department. Perhaps you could teach him some new skills to keep him occupied when he comes back.

kalder comments on Off Topic?

Rugby. Dim memories of getting trampled into the winter mud. The mad heathen Yorkshire games master exhorting us to greater efforts of brutality: "Get tha elbow in him, you southern poove". Ice cold showers. Character building. I daresay.

kalder comments on Scopolamine Stories

It happens a lot unfortunately. Plenty of locals get scoped too. A couple of whom had their drinks spiked on the Sexta in Cali last summer. The taxistas were abuzz with the story,.

kalder comments on yob smacked

Classic! The way he just calmly puts up with the abuse- then wham! And what about those pikeys in Swansea who attacked a pair of transsexuals...only to find out they were cage fighters in drag? Ho ho. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/6268426/Cross-dressing-cage-fighters-turn-tables-on-yobs.html

kalder comments on Mercedes Sosa

Good God. What a pity. I bought one of her CDs in 2000. Heard it in the record shop and got it there and then.

kalder comments on Colombian women are friendly? What bullshit!

Instinct and experience should usually tell you whether a woman's interest in you is sincere or not. Step aside from the intoxication of the moment and listen to that 'inner voice'.

kalder comments on who is your fav.

Winston McKenzie

kalder comments on Multiculturalism: Europeans’ Guillotined From Their Cultures

My brother never once saw a pissed up native Swede hassling and molesting women on the Stockholm metro. Saw a few others at it though... My proudest memory of him- gang of immos threatening to take a girl off of the subway and rape her in the woods. The carriage was crowded, but people suddenly found their Aftonbladets more engrossing than usual and ignored the terrified girl's cries for help. Well, except for the two British boys who got stuck in and took on all the scumbags. After the battle was over, my brother got talking to a Stockholm plod. "Always the immigrant youth" he said "always".

kalder comments on School kids taught to praise Obama...

That video has just broken news in the UK. The more I think about it, the more disgusted I become. It's something you'd have expected from Stalin's Russia, not the US.

kalder comments on The Great and the Good...doff your caps now peasants!

Bloody celebrities... No, Doug, never heard of Ian Dallas. But I've been to Morocco, so it sounds interesting. I'll look it up on Amazon.

kalder comments on The Great and the Good...doff your caps now peasants!

I like G and T as an apéritif. How are you with wine?

kalder comments on almost mugged walking to the Metro

Oh right- nice. Thanks Az.

kalder comments on School kids taught to praise Obama...

Oh God no- the thought...I actually laughed aloud... But there's plenty of leftie teachers telling UK kids that Obama walks on water.

kalder comments on almost mugged walking to the Metro

I'm glad you're ok. What does 'juked' mean? Something like 'put yer dukes up'? If the implication is you smacked the little bastard in the mouth- good man yourself.

kalder comments on Calle ..... (De Grieff)....Good Grief

You're a good man.

kalder comments on Cuban government forces Juanes to cry- pre-paz concert drama!

Our liberal-leftists just love the Cuban regime. A brief glance at Britain's Cuba Solidarity Campaign's website is a glimpse into the abyss: Presumably intelligent, rational adults simpering and slurping and salivating over a transparently evil, murderous dictatorship. Sometimes I feel like crying. But more often I feel like blindfolding them and kicking them out of helicopters :)

kalder comments on School kids taught to praise Obama...

God- that's sinister. I'm beginning to understand all those tea parties now.

kalder comments on The Great and the Good...doff your caps now peasants!

And I chuffing hate Bono.

kalder comments on Cuban government forces Juanes to cry- pre-paz concert drama!

God rot the Castro regime.
