Official Match Thread Season 38, Round 10 : Ophidian Old Boys v Baghdad Bombers at Spotswood Oval

[Robertio]

I’ve been doing some high altitude training in Sapa & now ready for this game

BOG for you mate after all that Vietnamese food you've been eating. Did you manage to track down any Guinness over there?

 

[Pugsley]

You have to play golf to really appreciate it.

I agree but it gets expensive

There are a few Irish pubs around
But, I was too dedicated to my training regime

Seems there's Irish pubs everywhere, what a great country helping the world out like that.

 

[Dingster]

Wickzki have you sobered up yet?

 

[Kilroy]

I will add a wrestling ... what's a wrestling place called?

Arena or Stadium

norway blue was a seasoned performer back in his hometown

 

[Over The Post]

I think next season Spotswood should put a bowling green in

I'm in. Hopefully the bowls have a little less bias than my practice coconut.

Arena sound good! Much better than a wrestling perry, anyway

 

[Dingster]

There you go BRAB and DemurePrincess. A mate of mine flew down for the GF and went to the after party.

 

[JuddgementDay]

The accommodation itself wasn’t anything special, but Sapa was an interesting place.

I climbed the stairs near to heaven at Fansipan, weird name, 3,143m above sea level. Amazing views above the clouds

Pugsley your latest request has been granted. Bombers enjoy a few pre-match drinks.

[Bovo]

Can someone tell me what day it is? If it's Sunday it's gameday, if it's not who cares.

It’s the most important day on the qooty calendar. It’s OOBS vs Baghdad

First time I was there, I stayed in a big hotel opposite the lake. Didn't do much for me, and I was less than impressed to find that the advertised breakfast from 7am was actually cleaned out by the busloads of Chinese tourists who had descended like locusts at 6:45 and there was just the grey wallpaper paste "porridge" and stale white "toast" left.

Second time I stayed at the Elysian, a family-run hotel and restaurant round the back and down the hill. Stayed two nights, stayed overnight in Lào Cai in another big hotel, then cancelled all my plans and went back to the Elysian for three weeks. Was going to Điện Biên Phủ and loop around Laos but decided to base myself in Sa Pa and just go for day trips and chill. Great decision.

 

[Pugsley]

As long as my Jatz crackers....doesn't matter.

Looks more like the old George Hotel back in the early 70’s, the urinals were a fraction different back then, they were the flower pots in the corner.

Yeah, Vietnam is like that

Most of the time you are better off with the smaller accommodations, value for money - otherwise you can pay up & go for the resort places. Those in betweeners are hit & miss

Or you can ask to stay here

[Pugsley]

We most certainly do

Some seriously good banter when those two were around.

 

[DemurePrincess]
