I think yours and mine are the same except that yours is the newer model. So, you can thank me for that.

Ok Nat thanks for that

No problem.

Took a couple of snaps at the Phuket rugby 10s yesterday. Quite a rainy day, lots of clouds over the hills. Pics are shitty because I was (a) busy getting drunk, (b) busy eating meat pies and (c) busy arguing with all the Aussies I was sitting with.

All in all a good Saturday afternoon of rugby fun



Clouds on the hills and gunk (probably from my meat pie) on the lens:

ground looks in good condition there.

It's astroturf. The whole facility is actually quite impressive, in the background of the second pic you can see the running track and the place also has an Olympic sized pool, tennis, squash, a spa and other stuff.

I'd not been up there before but somebody has put some serious money into building it.

The thing that looks like a hangar in this pic is the pool cover, volleyball courts (I think) in front:

FYI The girls next door were not dressed up like movie stars.

Artificial Grass Pitches for Rugby Union

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/20899266

because many artificial turf pitches built in Asia do not meet those specifications.

Did the pitch at Phuket cost £500,000 (cost from your link)

go figure.

^ Your post showed incredulity that rugby could be played on an artificial surface, not that the artificial surface was in Asia.

Need to practice a bit more on your squirming out of posting bollocks.

Reason why I dis-like beaches........... Pic from last week on Koh Samui (Lipa Noi Beach).

Good job you never trod on that fondles.

^It was walking funny, so he probably is.

Very demure 'come hither' look in those gently downward cast yet hopeful eyes if you ask me

She is rather fetching in the photo. In reality though, barely 10 seconds later she was having a dump. Maybe one for our German readers?

She?

In the first pic I can see a big pair of bollocks dangling, in the second they're gone,
is it a turd?

Did we talk?.... albeit very briefly?

Yes, it's an IRB approved pitch. Less carpet burns that playing on the local pitches in the past. No trenchfoot either. Only problem was with all the rain the markings kept washing away.

Far better than the one at NIST which you may be familiar with.

Even Ant Robertson didn't whinge about playing on it.
