Where Did You Go Today? Photos Please.

Probably just a load of homos on the nudist beach

You could be right Blue in which case it no problem to make a swift exit!

A pretty lazy day today. Too hot to sit in the car for a long journey so we stayed pretty local. Enjoyable none the less.


We started off with some lunch in a little Morrocan cafe.












The pikeys were in town and there's nothing my son loves more than a fun fair, so we stopped in for an hour.














I've had my fill of caravan dwellers and the gormless chavs a fun fair allways attracts, so it's back home to one of our locals for a couple of beers. It's in a little village just down the road from us and sits on a lovely cricket green.


The boozer.




The drinks. His and hers.





7% cider isn't the smartest thing for a bloke that had to stop drinking due to a stomach ulcer to drink, but what the fuck. They went down like a dream.


A lovely pond next to the pub.






From the pub garden you have a front row seat of the cricket. Not quite the ashes but still it's a nice distraction to have in the background.




















Three other restaurants on the edge of the green.






Finally some of the lovely houses around the green.

Nice pictures, is the restaurant at the end of Rochester High street,opposite the corner tattoo shop? The Fun Fair was that at Jacksons Fields City Way?(or is that a circus I see up there) The village is very nice,havent been there for more than 7 yrs. I spent the day at Rainham Mark ,Pump Lane, My sons Football team played in a Soccer tournament.

Yes and yes mate. What have I told you about following me.

How did your boy get on? Fair play to him for playing in that heat, he's made of better stuff than me, I wouldn't last 5 minutes.

My Son enjoys his football,it's being with other children and running around with them. All the parents spent most of the time between matches telling them to get out of the trees. Football at that age is fun,and climbing trees is even more fun.Just as well as his team have never won a game.Getting an icecream is more important.

Heat,what heat,it is a pleasure,such a pleasure to stand in sunshine and relish it,because the alternative is,and We have stood out in it,cold,cold winds for 7 months.At least this coming winter they are going to train in an indoor facility.Still games will be outside.

Forgive me if I am wrong but that looks a bit like Bearsed Green to me!
Used to get down Maidstone way now and again.

From one of your earlier post Aberlour I was under the impression that you was close to Black Heath!

There were actually 9 of them racing and it was a gas watching them ... the fans got a kick out of them laying on their air horns. Believe it or not they were sometimes going three wide in the straightaways ...

I was kinda surprised by my wife's cheering throughout the night ...

When I read that I was expecting Speedway bike racing!

Only been once but I reckon that bit of varied racing in your photos looked much better.

There were two other categories of smaller cars as well but I didn't take pics. Starting from time laps, to the multiple heats for each group to the finals it made for a very long night. First time I had been to Skagit Speedway in over 25 years ... Forgot how covered in dirt we would be by the end of the night.

I go and watch trucks race on tarmac quite a bit, but I've never seen them race on dirt!

Do you ever go to what we call banger racing in the UK? Same kind of track but they try and smash the shit out of each other?

Great photos mate. Cheers.

^ Couple of nice threads.

I'm waiting for my mate to send me a couple of pics that I took on his phone cam today.
I was up early to caddie for my mate at the Singha Hua Hin open.
It was a qualifying event, and I'm pretty sure I wont be caddying at the weekend for him!
I'm fookin' knackered and I's also like to add...
The next time I go for a round, the caddy will get a 'better' tip!

[charleyboy]

Here's the yardage book I kept.

Will post others as soon as he sends them.

[nigelandjan]

Nice one Charlie ,, well if he needs a new caddy I,ll step in the breach a bit later on for him

I think the banger racing is called crash derby here in the US. Popular at the county fairs.

Dirt track here is really clay.

This past Friday we went to the biggest fish market in Dubai. We were there at around 11:30 am and the temps were 44° that day. It is now Ramadan, so nobody can eat or drink in public. You gotta hand it to these guys, working this hard in these conditions.





We picked up some herbs from this stand.
