Patong

This is a really quick one as I'm in a mall in Patong waiting to go and see Iron Man at the cinema. Due to too much time in the sun, I think it's got to me and I've been feeling a bit low on energy the last couple of days so I decided that today would have to be spent inside. I had a trip booked (sailing on a chinese junk to and around the island from'"The man with the golden gun") but I wouldn't have enjoyed it so I cancelled. I went on a trip to the island the filmed "The Beach" yesterday! It was a good trip but I'll tell you about it when I have time. I also encountered Monkeys in the wild. . .

Anyway, got to go. . .

Robin Hood Prince of Aviator Sunglasses

After we finished with shooting and we managed to persuade the locals to come back (warily), we moved onto archery. There were two types of bow on offer so I picked the one that felt best (and looked cooler). As you can see from the picture above I managed to beak all current records and score ten successive "Bullseyes". The guy who was helping us pronounced me Robin Hood on the spot and a messenger was sent to find Norris McWerter at the Guiness World Records Office.


Okay, so this picture was my real attempt but it's still not bad is it? The guy actually dd call me Robin Hood after I got my first arrow straight in the yellow.

Police Academy

We've been to Phuket shooting range! The first weapon I fired was a rifle, complete with proper rifle scope. As it turned out I was actually really good with it!! I got reall good groupings and the were or all in and around the centre. They've given me the target with the holes in but I don't think it'd make it through the new sensitive equipment at Dubai airport on the way back so I'll be leaving it here.

Next I fired a 9mm handgun which was okay but I guess I need more practise becasue the shots were all over the place! Still, at least most of them hit the target!

Still targets just weren't proving to be hard enough so we had a go at clay pigeon shooting! I hit one. Out of ten. I bet I could have got them with the rifle!

my last post

I just read my last post again entitled "two days wasted". Now I'm better I realise how pessimistic I was being by saying those days were wasted - I'm in Thailand! And two days with food poisoning is better than going to work anyway!!

Feel better now and full of energy. Well enough for. . . (See next post)
