Just got a text this morning from our RA Scotland Chief Instructor and he was having his final drink in the airport bar wishing Scotland goodbye.

He is by now in the USA were he will spend 2 weeks in Pensilvnia and then heads of to stay in Kansas City, so it would seem our RA Cheif Instructor for Scotland in now re-titled RA Chief Instructor for USA.

If any you guys over there would like to see what RA is all about and just how good his 30 years in Wing Chun are, then pop in and see him and tell him I said Hi.

Thanks for that Pat. And thanks for all the support you guys. It's roasting out here, in the 90's, I'm already like a lobster. This house, like everything else here, especially food portions, snorting , is huge. I've got a large basement to train wing chun in but I need to practice Arnis outside. The ceiling is a wee bit too low. I'm off to train at a local gym on Tuesday, holiday weekend, so I'll see what kind of interest there is here.
At least I know RA Scotland is in good hands. Look after yourself Scott. Make sure you get plenty of training in mate.
Take care, hope you guys in Britain are not too cold. Laughing

I've no doubt that you'll do me, and Pat, proud mate.

Too late for eating too much mate snorting , food's just too good. As for being a hillbilly? They look pretty happy to me fucyc . Ask Damien, he sounded like a man of experience. laughing8

Well Paul the hillyBilly is out and about and looking like he is doing well everyone.

Paul the reason the food portions are so big is raod kill is quite common in your neck of the woods mate. Check what it is before you put it in your mouth mate Laughing

Glad to hear your settling in and doing your usual rock lobster impression. I will see you soon mate and hopefully by the time we go state side RA will have a good grounding.

Have a blast straight blasting our colonial brothers and whacking them with a big stick. And remember it is not that your getting better at drinking beer, it is just their beer is weaker mate Wink

See you soon mate

Pat

Hey Paul!!!

If you need a translator,just gimme a shout! Wink

You just might mess around and have good time over there!

And my cousin IS hot! Twisted Evil

Question though; are you in the state of kansas?
The reason I ask is because we have a few cities;i.e; kansas city,kansas and kansas city,missouri.
It was never made clear which exactly you landed in.

not that it matters much...
Grits and Shotguns is Grits and shotguns in either of them Wink
