For a City famed for Steel and Snooker I was impressed by this artwork...
Is that a full size snooker table on the hotel reception wall?

Good to get away from all the concrete, and back to nature.
Do you have your fantasy football spreadsheets with you?
Don't need them, the deadlines passed and I'll be back in BKK for the midweek games.Quote:

I just missed you. Was about 6 blocks to the left of the picture 3 days ago. Now back in rainy Vancouver, where we had a minor earthquake today.Quote:

It rained in Bangkok yesterday so cleared the air. Lovely day today in Pattaya. Eating then off to try the pool before I get absolutely off my head this evening.Quote:

I've never tried snow shoeing only seen in movies, I've dome cross country skiing, do you start from home?
I assume dont wear in the elevator or pavements, so is it a drive/bike to nature. Is it harder than normal walking, I imagine youhave to raise your legs a bit which I suppose easier for Canadians used to such positions? Be nice to see a picture of the shoes to get the scale, are they larger than my tennis raquet?
^We actually go right from my friend's backyard. We climb a ladder to get over the fence. Her backyard is a forest that is the back end of a golf course. It is hard to believe, but she lives near a national park and a gorgeous area. We often hike or snowshoe near her place. You have to raise your legs a bit, but not too bad. It isn't like the old fashioned tennis raquet snowshoes. Here is a pic of my snowshoes. It is good to use them when there is a lot of snow.

Nice photo so where's that Joe looks a bit like Rudyard or those lakes, forgot the names up by Leather's Smithy?
That reservoir looks quite full above, what a difference several dry weeks makes here..

Well, this is a screenshot from today of Mt. St Helens going off 45 years ago. I moved to Eastern Washington a year later and bought a house that still had 5 inches of dust from it in the basement as it was under construction when it blew. The mountain was several hundred miles away and the amount of dust must have been incredible.

^ Velly interesting.
btw, there was a very nice photo posted by Backspin last night that caught the eye of quite a few posters. The minxy Asian gal on a UK council estate bench.
Predicting that it might just get deleted once Nazi Mod Armo Himmler logged in, one did save it to me 'Warning Microsoft Diagnostics Coding System Do Not Open' folder just in case. If anyone wants it sent by repo just giz a shout-io.

Madeira is a pretty cool place.
The accommodation was nice and the island is pretty rugged

Outstanding! Enjoy.
Hike along the sea cliffs - you can just see the people on the path across the bay.

It was a nice hike out to the end of the island
Attachment 125231
How long was that hike? It appears quite the distance.
It was only 3kms out and 3kms back...but there was a bit of up/down and a fair steps.
And I lied - I didn't go to the very end - just to the bar/cafe (that is supplied by boat) - so we were short by about half a km (but uphill).
The missus was lagging and it was quite warm so we turned back!
(and by crikey this forum is a bastard to post on, continually getting logged out and slow... and generally shit!)
Needs more practice and maybe an eye test.
