International Wado Ryu Karate Championships
Monday, 19 September 2005
Wado Ryu Karate
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!

New David Sylvian album out in October
Thursday, 01 September 2005
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.

Bournemouth Beach BBQ photos up

Bournemouth BBQ
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.
 
Next Beach BBQ - 26th August 2005

Bournemouth BBQ
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!
 
Red Arrows visit Bournemouth again

Red Arrows 2005
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.
 
Got back from a scorchio holiday in Portugal
Thursday, 11 August 2005
Lagos, Portugal
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.

ICE - In case of emergency
Wednesday, 27 July 2005
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.
