I just watched it. Hands up to that guy for giving up his life in Florida to be in the Philippines (well most of the year according to what he said in the show). I myself could never live like that. Without TV, internet, phone..that's me doomed! Hahahaha

@Steve...

Hahahaha...can't say I'm surprised.

Still, nice to think 'outside the box' mate....or should that be 'inside the container' ?

do they have animal rights laws in the phils
I've seen animals abused in the phils, ranging from zoo's, petshops and owners.

as for slaughterhouses in the UK, well gov qango defra was stripped of having the powers to prosecute and the CPS was given the powers, its a start in the right direction.

They do have the animal welfare act of 1998 in the Philippines, however i very much doubt that it is ever implemented
Good to see that ALAW managed to prosecute the workers.
I just find it strange when people say the poor pig in the Philippines when they don't realize the abuse in the UK is just as bad.

My girl is just amazing.

She says she'd be happy living in a tent, just as long as we're together.

(I've been busy getting my tent and stuff ready ).

Very very similar behaviour to Neil in the Leyte programme.

We all become like that after 10 years

I agree with what you say Jake our animal welfare prosecutors shy away from prosecuting the muslim slaughter houses for the way they slaughter lambs and chickens for halal meat.

so if he has to go away to make some money so he can live on for the rest of the year, that figure was £2500 or $2500, thats not much is it ?????

[andy222]

I doubt if you could live like that steve. You would want something a bit more in your comfort zone.

[stevewool]

i could not Andy, i know that, but i dont want the castle too,

When we first moved here our monthly budget was very small. Fine if you are just a couple, however matey boy seems to have a few kids. What future are they going to have being stuck up some mountain

[stevewool]

i am glad someone else is thinking just what i have said to Ems,

Dont these people think long term, but thats my biggest problem i look to far ahead

[Terpe]

just watched it again and just like you and many more say, it seemed to show him and ben more on what he has now and how he lives the day to day life

Good idea that Steve......I'll also give it second viewing and see how it goes.
