About 3 years ago I went stalking (not that type AC ffs) and my cousin took down a muntjac at 240 yrds. He bellied it and cooked up the liver no more than 15 mins after the kill.

I can honestly say it was one of the worst fooking things ive eaten. I tried to make out I was enjoying it but the involuntary sick gave the game away

You're living in the wrong place. Living like a king over here.

So far I've lived in Nottm, London, Manchester, Chesterfield, Maputo, Durban & Windhoek and I can honestly say with 100% certainty that Nottingham is a better city to live in than Chesterfield, and probably Middlesboro.

Durban tops all those!
I've never been to Manchester but I somehow doubt it can compete with Durban in any shape or form.

Love Durban, lived there for 6 months about 10 years ago, amazing City. Ended up living in a flat with a rock band believe it or not, they were gigging at a casino & I was working for a charity & they offered to put me up because I promised to buy their album & bring it back to the UK & I just didn't leave for 6 months haha. Where else in the World can you do that.

Not a patch on Maputo though, Mozambique is/was purely wild.

You can still do it over here Marvin.

I've only been to Durban a handful of times for business so I've not had the chance to explore properly but it reminded me a lot of Rio. Beautiful beach front and certain areas but strip back the facade and the poverty is nauseating.

Same wherever you go in South Africas major cities. Urbanisation on a massive scale. But somehow people survive.

Pretty much the whole of Southern Africa is like that tbh, People in the UK think they're living below the poverty line, try telling me that again when you home is build from corrugated steel that you had to rob & you only eat when you can thieve something from a tourist.

I spent a couple of year out there working for an HIV orphan trust, for homeless children that lost their parents to AIDS & the majority had contracted the disease themselves too. The medication that is available now wasn't back then, but even what was available never made it to these kids, you get to see some horrific things in life if you look close enough.

Boro itself is a shit hole, but let's not pretend a footballer lives in the slums of the city centre.

The North East has a lot to offer outside the cities themselves. Aside from not getting to see Forest, I much prefer living in Newcastle to Nottingham.

I can be at the coast in 10 minutes, some of the great driving roads in the UK in 20 minutes and some fantastic salmon fishing in 40 minutes.

Professionally, it's not even that inconvenient for London, less than 3 hours on a direct train.

I have to say, there is a place called Yarm that a lot of the 'boro players live in, near Middlesbrough, and that is absolutely lovely. So like you say, around most football clubs there is a nice place to live which is commutable, or in the case of Michael Owen, he didn't want to live anywhere near Newcastle, so he got his helicopter to training everyday.

I like both Durban and Port Elizabeth but my favourite place is Cape Towns Waterfront.
It will be silly if we loose Mahoney because we wouldn't pay the compensation package. It sounds like what Al Haswi would have done. Forest are certainly keeping things quiet on what might be happening.

I know someone who got rid of a helicopter he used for business etc because way too many days conditions werent safe to us it

Owen must have missed a hell of a lot of training

I guess you don't have to train much if you're injured for 11 out of 12 months on average.

I have a friend who has a helicopter and he tells me it all about where you are taking off from and landing. If as in Owens case it was basically field to field (i.e. open spaces) it is a lot easier to take off and land than when you are landing on the top of some building in London for example. I would imagine there isn't that many days in this country that have the extremes that would stop a good pilot from flying. Mind you, when you are Michael Owen who was made of glass at the end of his career, if he called in saying he couldn't fly, they would not have complained too much, and it was probably written into his contract that he would use his helicopter to commute to and from training, so if his pilot recommended not to fly they would not be able to complain.

Having chased the sun for decades Im of the belief that the weather is a huge part of this, no matter how good the deal, who wants to live hundreds o miles away up north in miserable weather given a fair choice?
