Happy Birthday mate! You're an old man and a Cowboys fan but you're ok!

World’s Dirtiest Man: 80-Year-Old Iranian Man Hasn’t Bathed in 60 Years 80-year-old Haji believes that “cleanliness brings him sickness.” That’s why he hasn’t bathed at all in the past 60 years. He lives in isolation in Dejgah village, in the Southern Iranian province of Fars. Haji hates contact with water. Even the suggestion of a bath makes him very angry. And all these years of escaping bath time have taken their toll – Haji is almost the color of earth. He has managed to completely blend in with his surroundings. In fact, it’s easy to mistake him for a rock statue if he sits very still. It’s not just bathing that Haji dislikes. His disgust for fresh food and clean drinking water is unmistakable. Instead, he prefers his favorite meal of rotten porcupine meat. He drinks 5 liters of water a day for health purposes, but only from a large rusty oil can. He likes to fill his smoking pipe with animal feces instead of tobacco. To trim his hair he doesn’t use clippers; he just burns it off over an open flame. An old war helmet keeps his head warm during the winter. http://www.odditycentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Amou-Haji2-550x366.jpg Haji doesn’t really have a house – the earth is his home. He lives in a hole in the ground, much like a grave, to keep him grounded and in touch with the reality of life. Sometimes he sleeps in an open brick shack that the villagers constructed for him out of pity. Locally, he is known as Amou Haji. ‘Amou’ is the Farsi term of endearment for a kind old man. http://www.odditycentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Amou-Haji-550x364.jpg Haji’s lifestyle of choice is very unique. The villagers say that he had suffered severe emotional setbacks in his youth, which led him to make these extreme choices. Even so, he does seem a lot happier than some people who live in large homes with comforts and conveniences. Haji doesn’t seem to have a care in the world. He has nothing to lose, nothing to fear. Makes you think about what’s really important in life, doesn’t it? Haji isn’t the only person in the world who hates bathing. Two years ago, we wrote about Kailash Singh, an Indian man who hadn’t taken a bath in 38 years. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eijyb489uIM

As you may know my husband, Brett and I live on a narrowboat... We have lived aboard Elsie for five and a half years and have decided its time for bricks and mortar. We've been talking about it for a while now. Neither of us want to stay aboard for another winter and we both want to be closer to family. We have handed in our notices at work and are going to move away from Shropshire in the West Midlands and move in with Brett's mum in Clacton-On-Sea, 250 miles away on the south east coast to begin with, then once we have secured jobs we're gonna get a place in Colchester which is about 20 minutes from Clacton... At least that's the plan!! Brett put Elsie on a boat sales website last week and if by this Friday she hasn't had any interest from buyers, then we are gonna take her to a brokerage and they can sell her on our behalf. So our adventure on the canal is ending and a new one's about to commence. :) The lyrics to Rush's Headlong Flight would seem appropriate right now.... With a couple of changes: "I have stoked the fires on Elsie's stoves, Steered our little ship down the canal..." :)

It was a cold misty morning at Tiger Canyons in South Africa, when the game drive came upon the two tiger males, Sunderban and Shy Boy posturing for a fight. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/12/03/article-2517494-1990E25C00000578-638_964x613.jpg Sunderban was in Shy Boy's territory and was the bigger and more aggressive of the two. Five years old Sunderban weighed easily 200 kilograms while Shy Boy 8 years old weighs less, maybe 185 kilograms. This fight had been building up for months and I was interested to see whether Sunderban would take his coalition partner, Mahindra, into the fight. If he won the fight, Sunderban would get access to a larger territory and 4 additional females. The stakes were high, to say the least. Shy Boy did his best to bluff his way out of the fight but Sunderban was pressing for the kill. After a number of boxing sessions, Shy Boy tried to take refuge in the river. Launching off the bank, Sunderban had the advantage of height and knocked Shy Boy down and got him in the death grip, by the throat. I have filmed many fights, kills and brutal scenes during my time but this was by far the most raw, the most ferocious. What made it so emotional for me, is that I had been with both these tigers as they grew up from cubs. Sunderban was abandoned at birth, so I hand raised him. The hours spent in the canyon swimming with him and his sisters Zaria and Shine, are some of the happiest days of my life. Shy Boy as a cub would crawl across and smack the camera off the bean bag when I came too close to his kill. In short these two tigers are great friends of mine and I value that friendship greatly. I was desperately hoping for a friendly outcome but it was not to be. I could relate to Shy Boy situation as he lay in the great jaws of Sunderban, the life draining from his body. All I could do was stay neutral, stay calm and record the unbelievable scene unfolding in front of my eyes. Four minutes, five minutes went by. Shy Boy has had it! He's out of strength and he's out of air. Suddenly Sunderban thinking Shy Boy was dead, relaxes his grip momentarily. Shy Boy kicks ferociously catching Sunderban throwing him backwards. Like a flash, Shy Boy is back on his feet, boxing, ripping, fighting for his life. The primeval scene is one of the rawest and most brutal I have ever witnessed. Both tigers are a brown colour from the mud, the eyes and white teeth stand out against the dark background. The red blood flows from both tigers and steam rises in clouds from their bodies and snarling mouths. Eight professional cameras photograph from three viewing vehicles and I have no doubt that the images will travel instantly across the world. Hardened photographers elated by the images they have captured are also shocked at the brutality and ferocity of the fight. Personally I am emotionally drained by the ordeal, stunned at the raw power of the tigers, saddened that two of my tiger friends are in such a brutal fight. Like a triumphant boxer who jumps onto the ropes after victory, Sunderban goes onto the highest rock to proclaim his victory. Shy Boy is lying in some rocks, inaccessible to me and a vehicle. Is he hurt? What terrible wounds have been inflicted? Will Sunderban attack him again? What could I have done to prevent this terrible tragedy? These are the thoughts racing through my mind. One thing is certain, the expansion of the tiger range at Tiger Canyons which started on the 1st July 2013, cannot came soon enough. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/12/03/article-2517494-1990B8DF00000578-385_964x642.jpg This is the incredible moment a pair of bloodied tigers slashed each other with their claws in a dramatic fight over territory. The dramatic battle was caught on camera at the world famous 'Tiger Canyons' in the Londolozi private game reserve in Pretoria, South Africa. The clash erupted after one of the tigers delivered a vicious blow to the neck of its rival. Believing it to be dead, the tiger released its opponent from its jaws but instead of the fight coming to a grizzly end, the two broke out in a second, even more savage struggle. German photographer, Marion Vollborn, captured the predatory pair while on safari tour. Ms Vollborn said 'The day before I took these pictures, our group spotted two male tigers pacing along each of their own territory borders. 'There had been a female tiger who had mated with both males and there was a very tense atmosphere but nothing had yet happened. 'In the morning we all suddenly heard a loud roar and we drove immediately towards the noise. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/12/03/article-2517494-1990E3CC00000578-478_964x641.jpg 'The male tigers we had been observing the day before were in the water hidden by reeds, one had bitten the other on the throat and they both remained still for several minutes. 'It was horrific to see, the tigers were covered in mud, blood and water we could see them both breathing heavily because of the cold air. 'One of the tigers assumed his rival to be dead and it stopped biting but the bitten tiger saw his chance to escape and save his own life. 'All of a sudden a spectacular fight for life and death began, again and again the males clawed at each other. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/12/03/article-2517494-1990E32600000578-370_964x641.jpg http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/12/03/article-2517494-1990E41E00000578-895_964x641.jpg http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/12/03/article-2517494-1990E40A00000578-667_964x642.jpg http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/12/03/article-2517494-1990B62F00000578-407_964x869.jpg 'The roaring was unbelievably loud, everyone who was there watching was clearly scared and I will never forget those sounds. 'The two opponents went from the reeds to the shrubbery and finally to an open area, both were bleeding heavily and we all feared the worst. 'After 45 minutes of fighting a winner emerged, it was the significantly stronger and younger male. 'Luckily, both survived the battle and their wounds are now healed. 'For a photographer it's spectacular to see something like this, but as an animal lover it makes it very hard to watch.' http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/12/03/article-2517494-1990E38400000578-473_470x621.jpg http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/12/03/article-2517494-1990B3EC00000578-344_470x621.jpg http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/12/03/article-2517494-1990E2D500000578-608_964x641.jpg
