In Brazil it´s hot

[belfastguzzi]

Just thought I´d say hello from Brazil as I found the perfect place for banter and silly business. There´s a street corner here where you can sit all night, drink caipirinhas and from the passing cast of characters, one unbelievable story unfolds after another, in front of your eyes. Cool.

 

I need a Film Council grant to come back with a camera and a bodyguard.

 

BTW I haven´t seen one motorcyclist wear any protective clothing at all, apart from a helmet. In the constant sunny hotness, it´s all bare hands, bare shoulders, bare legs; little bike or sports bike.

 

Be back sometime.

Wish you were here etc....

Remember they can't extradite you from Brazil to face justice back home if you father a child to a Brazilian mother! It worked for Ronnie Biggs!

 

Enjoy your stay!

''is BFG on the run?

[ferguzzi]

Well, if he eats all the beef they feed him down there, he may get the runs!

Name that street corner and establishment...I may have need of it.

Well, this is the corner / bar / establishment. I think you had to be there...

The streets in daylight were more obviously attractive.

This is not Belfast

This is a fish

 

This is another Caipirinha sampling session with some friends

How long are you out there for?

 

The limitations of 6 months for road traffic offences doesn't count if you flee the country so a summons can't be served.

[belfastguzzi]

This is electricity

This is white sand

This is work, clearly

This is 'superstar' Carlinhos Brown

These are kids in the street

 

smiling, is good

 

How long are you out there for?

Define 'out there'.

 

Are you casting nasturiums?

Hey Bahia Fast Guzzi, thanks for keeping us posted.

 

Cool website and music

So, when are you getting your bikes and stuff shipped there?

Have you figured out a way to stay and make a living?

I'd offer to be your body guard but you would not live long under my protection

Martin Barrett could be your man

[Guzzirider]

Great pics BFG- looks like you are having a good time.

 

Are you out there to find out how the Brazilians do it when it comes to carnivals?

[belfastguzzi]

Unfortunately I'm 'back here' now.

Oh yeah, I haven't seen that actually. It's a good site. Thanks

 

One of the great things about Carlinhos is that he still lives and works in the very poor neighbourhood where he was born. He has created a very impressive music school and education project for the young people, developed the squalid housing and put in drainage and sewage, built music studios in the area etc...

This intimate involvement with the people/communiy in his urban environment is in contrast to many who become 'superstars', whether music, football or whatever.

Define 'out there'.

 

Are you casting nasturiums?

 

I think from that shirt and your riding pumps. We've already defined "out"

(dam reverts to homophobic stereotype)

 

I wouldn't cast nasturtiums

as they're edible

Is that a fact!?!

We have plenty in our backyard

and the website freely serve up a taste of the music, unlike many other superstars who nickel and dime you just for a taste of what they are selling. Bloody pimps and whoes!
