@train in vain yeah I've no doubt that 'rough sex' has been around forever but there's also no doubt that porn is having a massive effect on human sexuality... there's endless articles about this phenomenon online - the normalisation of porn type sex acts and the way teenage boys are expecting...

yeah exactly @Matt Derrick - his posts in this thread don't make much sense, they just jump all over the place... I was gonna try and have a little debate about the issues raised but first off I need a coherent, well reasoned argument to reply to... at least we found the one true punk in this...

you posted this song and directly asked for opinions, so I gave you mine, im not just randomly 'coming at you'.... the meaning of the lyrics might be clear to you because you wrote them but they seemed pretty nonsensical to me.... if you really wanna make it as a musician you might have to deal...

I thought I liked it until I read the lyrics - which strike me as grim sexist bullshit... mouth fucking and coming on girls faces are not acts of love to me, but nasty shit that has leaked out of the misogynistic world of porn into the real world... care to explain yourself sonny ?

it sounds like a fungal infection which I've had many times - this means you'll need something with the chemical Clotrimazole in... the tubes of cream are quite small and are free if you apply the old five finger discount... I'm not sure what you could use for a more natural cure for this...

cool ! maybe meet you in the flesh one day... I'm looking to get mobile again now my daughters a grown woman...

r u still hoping to relocate to Europe @Matt Derrick ?

American Nomads was originally a book, which explored the themes of the documentary much deeper - I highly recommend it... in fact, in my humble opinion EVERYTHING that Richard Grant has written is worth reading... his books are a mix of travel / ethnography / social history - and he really puts...

well I'm in the SW (Devon to be precise) and down this way Bristol is the mecca for all things alternative and radical... I'm on the vehicle dwelling hardcore raver scene and naturally there's plenty of that in and around Bris, but then you got the punk and live music scene / radical politics /...

funny - my 'government name' is Albert - I ain't got no rattler yet though...

hey @The Toecutter , while on the subject of wild and tamed reptiles, you ever heard of Pocho the crocodile in Costa Rica ? this guy was out walking and found a juvenile croc dieing from a gunshot wound, nursed it back to health and they subsequently became the best of friends... there's a...

now I've only got a little bit of information to go on, but it sounds to me like your sons friends opinions are what's fueling this 'break' - kids that age are desperate to fit in, and they want to avoid anything that makes them stand out as different... I've seen this issue happen a few times...

you need to post ride requests in the 'Road Dogs & Meet Ups' section - the Introductions section is for telling people a bit about yourself.... also if you read and digest the STP User Guide then you won't get mods shouting at you for posting in the wrong section ! they're reasonable people but...

well I can't wait for the second series - it's the story of Dirty Mike, the 'killer hobo / hobo killer' who is notorious enough that even us Europeans have heard of him ! supposedly Danelle interviewed him repeatedly in jail...

I'm on a more vehicle based scene, and I always say to new people DONT BUY that beautiful tricked out dream RV for your first van - you'll only fret about where you park it and how long you leave it unattended... something that looks a bit shot at and was fitted out using found materials is...

Ok I'm in England but I know the attitude that I'm about to describe is common all over... to hardcore drinkin' and druggin' sleepin in doorways travellers, you won't be seen as a hobo you'll be seen as a yuppie slummin' it simply because you have nice gear - and in someway this will be true...

are these heated items of clothing 'stand alone' ? the ones I've seen were 12volt and needed to plug into a cigar plug socket in a vehicle - and thus seemed a bit pointless as said vehicle probably had a heater anyway ! I'm in the UK though, so maybe you guys have something more advanced....

....and another thing - if i hear that fucking Santa Monica song one more time on that podcast i'm gonna throttle someone ! whereas Profane Sass who get played for 20 seconds each episode - I can listen to them peeps all day long....

great podcast - but all the time I'm thinking what a little shit Ruby is for disappearing without a word on graduation day ! as another parent comments 'while she was off being free we became prisoners'.... the people who raise us are often straight and infuriating, but they usually deserve some...

I don't want this to sound like victim blaming, but personally if I was a solo woman crewing on small boats, I'd want to be damn sure I trusted the others aboard before setting sail - once you're out at sea and far from land there's nowhere to go and no one to help you.... sexual predators look...

I agree @Dmac - a staff can make an excellent 'attitude adjuster' if it is used to make a quick jab to the belly / throat / face (or wherever)... it's also unlikely to lead to serious blood loss, which is the reason I personally wouldn't use a knife in a fight....

it's not really a makeshift weapon - but a pair of tightly laced steel toe cap boots can give you a major advantage in a brawl.... a hard blow to the knee or shin can put someone out of action pretty quickly...

who actually records how many miles they do on their travels ? despite being the times when much ground is covered, the 8 hour stints on the motorway / interstate are the least interesting bits of the journey..

where u planning on going ? If you're not sure where you'll be sleeping every night I'd head South ! although the 'no money' thing is a lot easier in mainland Europe where you can still beg up some funds... if you are going to go North I'd try and make some friends online first, so you have a...

I'm in England so not sure of the pricing of trailers / RVs etc in your area... fortunately over here small and medium caravans (trailers) can be picked up pretty cheap - in fact people often abandon old ones at the side of the road because they are a pain to junk / dismantle... I've had several...

for the situation you envisage I would say get a trailer rather than a motor vehicle... that way you will avoid any need for insurance and other documentation to make a vehicle road legal - presumably you would need this paperwork to move an RV / bus from the place of purchase to the land where...

I imagine it would be pretty straightforward to repurpose some kind of squirty bottle to use as a portable bidet, saving oneself the $17 outlay.. some of the greatest satisfaction I get in the drop out / traveller lifestyle is when I use my ingenuity to solve problems without any financial...

Hi Sian... i'm a fellow UK resident with a couple of things in common - I'm also from the N.W of England (20 miles south of Manchester) and also a lover of Portugal - we stayed in the very centre near the Sierra Estrella for about 8 months and would love to go back... the area we were in has...

I won't be going @WildVirtue - we have been given notice to move from our long term park up unexpectedly, so I've got to concentrate on that.... shame coz I'd like to meet a few more STP users - so far I've only seen one in the flesh / meatspace....

did you make it @WildVirtue ?

@lil dirty I'm pushing 50 and started raving in '90 .... so I remember many of the original underground soundsystems starting out - a lot of them were made up of punks & travellers and a wide variety of music got played over a typical rave weekend.... cultural cross pollinations being going on...

if I understand you correctly I think the answer is no, because a fire needs to draw air to burn which it can't do in an enclosed pot or pan - the air needs to come from underneath or the sides, not above.... maybe describe the circumstances you're in and what you're trying to do in more detail...

I won't be able to make it, I've had an unexpected rocket up the ass - we've been evicted from our long term park-up and gotta find somewhere else to live rapido.... shame coz so many people say how great it is - and what a brilliant location....

@Aesthetic voyager it actually became law only a few weeks ago but has been in the pipeline for 2 or 3 years... supposedly the law is designed to combat the Irish Traveller sites that spring up for a few weeks each summer - the right wing media has done a good job of demonising such people...

@Aesthetic voyager they aren't saying until just before the event - it's going to be on squatted land, so the location needs to be kept secret.... I really hope that the recent change in the law doesn't cause problems for this gathering - trespass is now a criminal rather than civil offence...

thanks @Lynora those look good as well, particularly The Dirtbag Diaries...

well @Matt Derrick these are the podcasts I've been listening to lately...  Backlisted - this is a discussion about great 'lost' books that never got the recognition they deserved upon publication... Bureau Of Lost Culture - interesting tales from the counterculture of the 1960's up to the...

thank you @Matt Derrick - I'm aware of Behind The Bastards but not the Cool People one, so I'll give those a look next time I download a bunch of episodes.... and @ali both your recommendations sound great... I read a lot about military and political history - and also pirates and the whole...

Cool... I'm in in the SW - Devon to be precise so I might just make it !

I'm after recommendations for QUALITY podcasts - preferably something in the underground / traveller / punk realm - but anything of any kind that has interested or impressed you will be considered... what I don't want is three morons all sat round laughing at their own shit jokes and providing...

Chicken of the Woods is very tasty - some guys I know found a huge example in a park in London that fed about 15 people... I actually think that the myco-protein Quorn is grown from the spores of this mushroom - the flavour and meaty texture is very similar...

@TheUndeadPhoenix - I know you are trying to warn people about someone who could potentially be a problem but there needs to be a distinction between genuinely dangerous individuals who have committed violence / rape / theft etc, and those we just find distasteful... over the years I've met...

so how was he 'Untrustworthy & Shady' then ? I thought this section was designed to highlight actual dangerous individuals... it doesn't sound like this guy did anything other than spout racist bullshit - if we include everyone we don't get along with in this section it's not going to be very...

yes @Matt Derrick 'butt' is a term applied to 20 - 30 litre water or fuel containers - it's widely used rather than being traveller slang, perhaps originally a military term (?) as far as cleaning water storage containers is concerned you can buy sterilising tablets from places like motor home...

the subject of water storage containers was mentioned in another thread I read earlier, but I thought it best to post this tip in the gear section... basically I want to strongly advise anyone travelling in a vehicle that you store your water in proper water butt's that are solid black in...

Megabus is the cheapest - especially if you book in advance to travel at weird times like 4am on a Tuesday morning... a friend was regularly going Plymouth to London / Plymouth to Manchester for between £5 - 10 !

sew a loop on I would think - just make sure you do a solid job

I'll have to try some of these tips out and see if any of them repel horseflies - I work outside year round and in the summer said horse flies bother me much more than anyone else...

can't believe you thought your story was crap @Eng JR Lupo RV323 it's fantastic ! funny / interesting etc and you showed a canny sense of ingenuity getting your bands song on the air... I've got an old tape of my first punk / metal band from when we managed to wangle a spot in the Monday...

fancy sending a few of these Western Fence Lizards via international post @Eng JR Lupo RV323 ? Lyme Disease has been on the increase in my part of the world... my friend Henry contracted it from a deer tick and boy did it fuck him up - the symptoms are still ongoing several years later..... and...
