 Competitors Got back from an excellent weekend at the championships which
was to celebrate Shiomitsu Sensei's 40 years of teaching karate. It was
also Angela's first visit to one of these things with me competing and
she
enjoyed it all, and I think he knew what was going on, perhaps.
I got through the first round in the kata event joint 7th and was joint 9th in
the second round so just missed out on being in the final by one place.
Pretty pleased with that actually.
You can see some photos of the event at the following link. None of me
competing yet as I was taking the pictures although there are some
wine-fuelled ones from the party afterwards!

OK, I am a fan of David Sylvian and many of you might think who the
f***. Anyway he has a new album out October 10th 2005, or so the
mailing lists on the Internet say called "Snow Borne Sorrow".
Official David Sylvian web site
Having now listened to it. It's very likeable.

 August 2005 I've posted some photos from the other night onto the Gallery:
Bournemouth Beach BBQ Photos August 2005 in the Fong Gallery
It was a bit windy to begin with but as always it dies down later on
and things don't seem to matter when the alcohol kicks in anyway. I
managed to brave the sea and go in for a couple of dips. |

 Cooking with... coal Unfortunately most of the lads are away for Rich Philip's stag weekend
in Berlin (the German city) as opposed to Berlins (the Bournemouth
nightclub). However, it will still go ahead for the Friday night, 6pm
onwards at the usual place. The fireworks should be on that night.
Bring some warm clothing for latrer on though. I suspect it will be cold by then.
Bring your own disposable BBQ, food, drink and Speedos! |

 Bournemouth The Red Arrows visit Bournemouth again during a hot summer's
afternoon. It was their usual crisp show and luckily the clouds stayed
away enough to complete the show unlike last year. They finished just
in time before the dark rain clouds came over. |

 Trying to get home at 3am. Me and Angela went to Lagos in Portugal for a week. Me for karate
training and Angela for the sun. It was over 30 degrees most days,
although at 6.30am it was pretty cool for when I had to run up and down
a huge cliff by the beach.
The food was excellent. I probably had my fill of squid kebabs by the
end of the week. The monkfish and cataplana was extremely nice as well.
So cheap, about £7 or £8 compared to £15 in the UK for similar stuff.
The barman in the bar/restaurant we went to mostly, must have been sick
when they saw the sight of us. With Peter in tow, he would normally be
there till after 2am. I could only do it one night but needed the
sleep. The night that photo was taken, I only had about 3 hours sleep
and then had to wake up and run up the blasted hill again, before going
into the sea. That was refreshing though.

I have checked this out and it is not an internet hoax like many other
stuff like it. Don't believe the rubbish about it being a virus neither.
The East Anglian Ambulance service started of an idea about entering a
specific phonebook entry into your mobile phone and calling it ICE (In
case of emergency) and using a number for your next of kin or someone
you would like contacting first should anything happen.
ICE - Mobile Phone Entry
Seems like a good idea to me. Especially given the times we are in.
The only pain I found is that if the ICE number is the same as another
phonebook entry, the phone may just end up displaying that number
instead of the usual expected name. So what I did was just to put (ICE)
after the name and just have the one number saved. |
