I get to feeling really sorry for people, and then I watch a programme about sharks having their fins cut off to go in soup and being thrown back alive (on now).....and my feelings change.
We really do deserve everything we get.

Yes. shark fins destined for China.  :-X

Dirty bastards will eat anything. Be good if they started eating each other.

Watched that as well.

It was explained to me many years ago whilst a lad learning on a deep sea merchant vessel with a Chinese crew (Brit officesrs I’ll add) that the Chinese will eat pretty much anything that turns its back to the sun.

Hence, they refuse to eat the pilot fish with the big sucker on their back that adheres to a sharks belly.

Ps - shark steaks are quite tasty, especially after watching a Chinese bosun dancing about with a monday idiot hammer trying to get a big one between the eyes that was hauled onto the deck whilst at anchor.  Any excuse and the fishing hooks were out!

Used to go to school with a Chinese kid, his Dad owned several companies in the area.
He told me once that it was bad to whistle, cos it invited the evil spirits to visit you.
Another bit of advise was to eat dog meat if you have the fever
A very old lady lived in a back room & only spoke Chinese

Then one day without warning the family just moved & at the age of 10 I really missed my little buddy  & months went by & then  I got a postcard from NY city  :o the whole family were now in the US. that Christmas he sent me a one dollar bill which I`ve still got somewhere :)
Bit of a ramble, I wonder what he`s doing today  ???
