yes, well sort of not luxury hotels but...... CriticismThe show has been criticized for fabricating some of the situations in which Grylls finds himself. In 2006 a Born Survivor crew member admitted that some scenes in episodes were misleading, indicating to viewers that Grylls was stranded in the wild alone when he was not.[14] The issue of scenes being manipulated was also raised by Mark Weinert, a U.S. survival consultant. One example he gave was of a raft allegedly being put together by team members before being taken apart so Grylls could be filmed building it. Other scenes that have been criticized include: Grylls was shown trying to lasso "wild" mustang in the Sierra Nevada that were in fact tame and had been hired from a trekking station nearby.[15] A scene where a crew member wore a bear suit to simulate a bear attack due to inability finding a tame bear. [16] A scene where Grylls was purported to have escaped from an active volcano by leaping across lava, avoiding poisonous sulphur dioxide gas, was actually enhanced with special effects, using hot coal and smoke machines.[17][18] Similarly, another episode gave viewers the impression that Grylls "was a 'real life Robinson Crusoe' stuck on a desert island", while in reality he was on an outlying part of the Hawaiian archipelago and retired to a motel at night.[15][19]

Agreed... Nothing better than when football show's you something you've not seen done before... Remember replaying it at the time to see what it was he'd actually done... *ahem* errrm....not a penalty kick though is it? misdirection with ones feet and the ball is hardly something new,his point was no one had taken a PK like that.

nice, but if buying your island on the wet coast....errrr, west coast, this would be a much nicer choice. http://www.privateislandsonline.com/pym-island-bc.htm it is closer to vancouver island, and is in the same rain shadow from the olympic range in washington state as the city of victoria, all of the convenience of the mainland but with far fewer people

And the same with Britain. Someone in my COLLEGE class thought Scotland was on a different island to England! More true of Americans though. Nothing against them either but most of them have never been abroad even. To pretend otherwise is as bad as saying they're all cunts. Tooner you know you claim there's a Canadian identity. Can you explain how your accent differs from theirs? although i do know that we can't really put an exact finger on what it is, everyone here seems to think its about being polite and "nice" but i've met lots of fellow canadians that are utter c*nts so that is out the window, others would say it's the hockey playing/watching beer swilling stereotype, which is total bullshit i know lots of canadians that only watch one or two hockey games a year and thats only if its a national team game or the last canadian team left in the playoffs. i think that the lack of a concrete national identity is the fact that the country itself is so massive and physically diverse that the people are as well. you make a huge deal about the regional differences in england, but geographically speaking you all live relatively close to each other. so there you go, while i can't say exactly what being canadian IS, i can say what it isn't, we ain't amuuuriken. I know but because we're a proper country, i.e. one with thousands of years of culture and history, you can go 50 miles here and the accent and culture is more different than if you go 3000 miles in Canada or USA. ....you do make me laugh stevie. the "vast differences" you make reference to are only obvious to you. no doubt you could write a 1000 words on the minute and subtle differences between a charva from the south and one from the tyne. but to use your own yard stick, any other 'normal' person not from england wouldn't be able to tell a difference, they'd both be english. period. What a load of wank. There a regional variations which are more like country difference within this country, but being ignorant you wouldn't know that. Aussies and Yanks always presume am Iirish. just what i was thinking...

indeed....but only because we've been completely inundated with them for so long....fwiw, i don't class some of them as sports anyway, nascar not a sport, just regular traffic in T.O. on a circular track. Baseball not a sport, anything you can do while drinking a beer does not meet the criteria to be classed as a sport, the americans know this which is why it's called the national "pastime".

Can you explain how your accent differs from theirs? depends on where you are really stevie, there are more people in the states and therefore more regional dialects. the one misguided belief is that ALL canadians say 'hoose or oot" instead of house or out, but that is an eastern canadian trait one that I was unaware of until i moved out here......i don't have an accent by the way...

Jumping abilitySilver carp have become notorious for being easily frightened by boats and personal watercraft, which causes them to leap high into the air. The fish can jump up to 8–10 feet (2.5–3 m) into the air, and numerous boaters have been injured by collisions with the fish.[3] According to the EPA, "reported injuries include cuts from fins, black eyes, broken bones, back injuries, and concussions.".[4] Silver carp can grow to 100 pounds (45 kg) in mass.[5] This behavior has sometimes also been attributed to the very similar bighead carp, but this is uncommon. Bighead carp do not normally jump when frightened.[1] wiki

Ah, now that's bull. I'd say that out of 200 random people who were at Glastonbury, 198 would have heard of Woodstock. Like you said Stevie, your music knowledge is akin to CT's football knowledge, so it's understanderble that you haven't heard of Woodstock, but it's a hugely famous festival and has more references to it in popular culture than Glastonbury does. It was a one off concert even The Beatles didn't turn out for. First time I'd heard of it was on Forrest Gump. Glastonbury is the most famous annual music festival in the world though, it really is. how many people at glastonbury?

This is what I hate about yanks. How the fuck would any normal person know about a music festival in America? Explain why you presume people would know. There's one I remember from Forrest Gump, am saying I remember I can't remember it's name, but know lots of crusty yanks gather in a field. What's that one called? Why do you presume people know? He's Canadian isn't he? I just took at as meaning there's this one festival that he considers a special occasion and treats it as such re: taking a few things rather than his expecting us to know all about it. That's not what he's meaning, it's like my saying "I have a ticket for a certain match in Rio 7th July 2014 " obviously everyone would know what that is, and clearly (in my view) that's what he's presuming here with regards to this certain ( ) music festival. Stevie.......fuck you damned if i do damned if i don't, if i mentioned the festival by name or by where it is you'd pipe up with a "where the fuck is that ? or what is a _____festival? The festival is the shambhala music festival in beautiful and scenic Salmo BC......heard of it? no? ...... I don't know if that's a real festival or not, my point is no one here had heard of any yank music festivals, while I'm sure half of America have heard of Glastonbury. i know you are the wind up with that bold bit.... except it wasn't my intention that you would have heard of it, that was your presumption. it was as alex had suggested, i was just making the remark that i only go tripping for this one special occasion. You do realize that the number of things you've never heard of far out numbers the things you have....right? open your eyes stevie there is a big world out there, step outside of your comfort zone.

done the whole gambit at some point, never intravenous though needles scare the fuck out of me. just smoke now really, with the exception of a certain music festival at the beginning of august. even then its just a couple of pills and some smoke, maybe a shroomazoomzoom during the day down at the river watching the crowd go by. with respect to DMT, never done this but i know a guy who has access to some, but still i have this nagging feeling that it may be a trip to far, the guy is really nice but, a little out there.
