Stagtime

21 degrees and the jumpers have come out!

Winter is coming, first fire pit of the year + a few G&T’s

Excellent translation of the text, however like many transcripts of interviews it is very limited to what it quotes.
In the interview he gives an outline of his background:
His father owned Logroñés football club when he was very young and so being around a football club is normal for him.
He moved to Indonesia when he was 16 for family business, and as he knew the trainer of the national boxing team ( his grandfather was Spanish boxing champion and the trainer also Spanish) he took up the sport to get himself fit. He went on to make 5 professional fights, winning all of them by KO and becoming champion of Indonesia. He became a father at 21 and as he felt that he couldn't give the sport 100% decided to finish.
He moved into the family business in Indonesia of real estate, mainly construction of villas in Bali after studying business.
If he were to buy a club for love it would be Logroñés, but the opportunity to buy DCFC was too interesting to pass up. If however he could buy any club in the world it would be Atlético Madrid.
He spoke to Ramon Calderon recently and they talked about the tie in the European Cup.
The interviewers then asked about the money side of the deal and although he didn't want to give out the numbers for buying the club he did leave them almost speechless with the amount of money in the English game. He is however buying the club with the help of partners he has in a holding.
When asked about the reception he had received from fans he was delighted with the response, although he would have understood if they had said "who's this youngster who has come here and bought our club? What are his intentions?" (@DarkFruitsRam7 and @Millenniumram, your tweets didn't reach him).
They then spoke about Rooney, basically saying what was said in the transcript.
"Is there a Spanish player that you would like to take to Derby County?" was then asked to which he answered Fernando Llorente. After the incredulation of the interwiewers he did say that he had not spoken to Llorente, but that as someone from his region and someone he admires very much he is "the type of player, for his experience and what he would bring" that he would like to sign, but at this moment the club doesn't have that kind of money. However he would be his dream signing.

 
That more or less is the interview. What would I say are my feelings after listening? He is a young man who has known nothing but success. He always gives 100% to whatever he does. He's not in this on his own, but although he didn't say who the other backers are (in no way did he avoid the very brief question, he just didn't elaborate)  or how much input in the day to day running they will have I got the impression that he will be the one running us. He does seem to want nothing but success and does understand how much it could cost. If he has half the success he has had up to now and his ambition would suggest then we're in for quite some ride.
My worries? He may just be too enthusiastic, and although as I said he appears to know the pitfalls, he does seem to drop things when he feels he can't give 100% (take his promising boxing career).
I haven't been to an amusement park in almost 15 years, it looks as though I'm about to go on the biggest and newest there is around.

How's your indigestion, mate?

Enjoying getting some sun on my new knee Chimay tattoo...

That's an excellent tent, and very highly regarded over here (Generally excellent reviews).  (Though not too many Zempire suppliers, as they are from over your way, I believe?)
I came close to getting one a few years back, but took the cotton canvas route instead.
 
"Hydrostatic Head is the measure of how water resistant your tent material is. It measures how tall a column of water the fabric can hold before water starts to seep through the weave. A Hydrostatic Head of 5000mm means that a tent fabric could hold a column of water that is 5000mm tall."
 
In the UK, 1,500 is minimum to be "Officially classed as waterproof"... but is not all that, and you will no doubt get drips in a half decent downpour! 
Most family tents over here (Vango/Outwell etc) rate between 3,000 to 6,000.
10,000 is usually reserved for the thicker/heavier gauge groundsheet only (not the flysheet).
 
That all applies to synthetic tents of course.  Cotton Canvas doesn't come with an HH rating.
 
Very Nice tent.  Enjoy!  ?

Just booked a holiday to Palm Cove, Far North Queensland for end of May. One of our favourite places to stay.

Our new tent arrived yesterday, fully inflatable Zempire Aerodome Pro. Set up time is 5 minutes and a waterproof rating of 10,000mm.

Just outside of Cairns, the Great Barrier Reef is not far off the coast hence no waves and all in our backyard. Just not a place to visit between Nov to March, monsoon season so it’s wet and humid and you have to wear stinger suits in the water so the irukanji jellyfish don’t get you. The rest of the year there is beautiful.

Did for me buddy. Not sure what the issue was really but from my PoV, its good to know there's still a big old world to explore out there. Not long now and we should all be able to be off on a jaunt or two. Anyway, hope you're home safe and sound buddy. 

Thanks mate, just thought it might put some happiness in people's lives. No offence taken if someone has different views. We're set up looking to cross the border at 12.01 am Friday when our 14 days lockout is over.

We’ll be there end of May so just on the start of winter. Should be around 27deg but the humidity will be low. 

Some waterproof rating. 15000 -3000 is a good rating, 5000 is classed waterproof so 10,000 should be the ducks guts.

So can you camp under water?
obviously with the zip up, I’m not stupid.
