Right, so if my HRM shows a number that is more than 220-age, it's just a case of either a) the guideline is off, as it probably is with most people anyway and/or b) a wrist-based HRM probably isn't the most accurate. DOB do a ramp test to find your actual HRmax if you are are using HR zones in you...

Genki? I had my first rugby practise sunday, since I did my shoulder last August. @kiwias I will send you a FB request, @snapper can get me through that. I probably won't move to another board, but would be up for a cabal in the future. Maybe meet the elusive Mat the ex-pat. Goeagles I await your re...

Lots of jalopy there from the Scottish loser. At least SBW has never lost to Japan. Hoggs trophy cabinet is full of moths and spider webs, compared to SBWs, which is bursting with his Union and League trophies. What a tosser, Mr Hogg. :roll: That isn't true. I posted a link at the time.

@kiwias@teranakisnapper Game day I am going to the stadium with family and friends. For the playoff today I will probably stay home. Sunday I can meet for lunch. My Meiji friend has plans in Izu so cannot come. (My club has all member games in Hodogaiya with an aftermath function on Sunday. However ...

Game day I have family plans. I might be free Sunday. I will check in tomorrow.

sculler

@kiwias cheers just mailed you from my ketai.

sculler

Yes do that.

@snapper: my meiji club mate is going to the match on Saturday. I was thinking we could do an early lunch in Yokohama? @kiwias: are you working or spectating? A cabal in Shin-Yokohama is fine with me, but I don't plan to be tanked up pre-match as I don't want to miss a second of the game queuing for...

Many thanks for yesterday lads. Kiwias gets my vote bordie vote for Best Host Cabalist. I'll be visiting that restaurant in the future with Mrs sculler. @snapper I'll be in touch about my Meiji mates midweek.

sculler

To the best of my knowledge, the England vs Aus qf will not be shown on the big screens inside the stadium so I reckon we should leave after lunch at 2:30-ish and go straight to the fan zone in Chofu. sculler, you good with that? That's good with me. ( I had been thinking of unloading my ticket and...

Expect Japan to perform in front of a home crowd. Scotland's pack are weak as piss, and I doubt they'll be able to slow down Japanese ball. Won't be much of a crowd You're kidding. We're trying to get any spares. They're like gold dust and £3k on stub hub WTF :lol: :lol: And you get to take your ow...

Scotland probably have a better chance of winning if it's played in an empty stadium.

See my edited post above.

The game is on, but no decision yet about fans due to transport considerations.

sculler

There is no specific update from JapanRail about the resumption of services my end. However the news is reporting in the afternoon. The local mall will open @2.

So a WR decision is contingent on what they know about the transport situation amongst other things. Fingers crossed.

It's stopped now after the big rattle blew over my place. I hope it's the same as it moves north.

sculler

Squally now, the worst has passed. HH will be ok if he hangs on for an extra drink after full-time.

sculler

Blinds down now in case the windows blow. JFC.

sculler

Pretty blowy now here. So maybe in half an hour Yokohama will be rocking.

Do we get a refund on tickets for the cancelled matches?

As for this weekend the Scotland/Japan game looks safe, but Japan Met Agency has a rainstorm for Tokyo on the saturday.

sculler

I am going to the game (and the next day) so am undecided. Shinjuku is good for me though, I can do it direct from the front door. Don't arrange anything just for me though. There are 2 semis and a final yet for cabaling.

Tsurumi, my old paddling ground, I was afloat there when we had the big shake.

Osaka was awesome. Loved it far and away the most of any city so far (Fukuoka, Kobe and Kyoto are the others I've been to) and could have spent substantially more time there. Was excited for Kyoto as I'd heard great things but it seems like it's just a giant tourist hellhole with a ton of disrespec...

No promises, but there has already been a lot of likes and it turns out our club captain amongst others was a Meiji player. 'Chotto mate' as we say over here. I will update in t...

@goeagles:
Nice. Old style and expensive in Shuzenji. Went once ages ago when I was earning.

@T-snapper: Trails round Kamakura are fine.

Now heading into Tokyo for Wales/Aus. Updated forecast has improved to a cloudy day.

@kiwias
Do all you country club ex-pat types have shares in The Hub? Last time I was at one was the night of the big shake when I had to walk b in the black-out to a part of yokohama with the leccy on.
I may show my humble immigrant face on Saturday. I am going to both games at the weekend.

@mat-the -expat
I probably cannot help, as while I am rehabbing the shoulder I am trying to stay off the booze, lose weight, turn a negative into a positive. However if my club is doing something I will let you know.

@tcc-dc
Are you sure you want to be shuttling back and forth on the same day between Osaka and Fukuoka? I think Fukuoka is worth experiencing in the evening when all the stalls come out.

@teranakisnapper: re:Kamakura, I advise Tokyo to Ofuna, Ofuna to Kita Kamakura on the yokosuka line. That way you can take in many temples and shrines through the hills before dropping down to the giant buddha and the main temple on the coast side. I will update on the hill trails later. After the t...

@goeagles Fukuoka fine for short stay. Fanzone and Tourist info next door. Riverside in the evening is a beehive of stalls for eating and drinking. Shiromiso nabe is local style, ok for lunch. Loads of local shochu, particularly imo(potato). You'll probably be able to do some fish live, odorigui(not...
