Men with oddly shaped balls

I've returned tonight from a brilliant weekend in Bristol with a big bunch of rugger buggers. I was invited down to socialise with them and take photos of a 'Four Nations' international gay rugby sevens tournament, hosted by the Bristol Bisons (representing England). As well as the home team, the Cardiff Lions, the Emerald Warriors (from Dublin) and the Caledonian Thebans (based in Edinburgh) all came to the 'drizzle in Brizzle', with the Cardiff team triumphing easily, winning all their matches. The camera got a bit wet in the rain, and my brolly fell apart in the wind, but we still managed to take 160 photos.

There was a bit of this...



...a lot of that...



...and a bit of the other...



A much bigger set of photos will be on my Flickr site very soon. In the meantime, a great big thank you to my host Sam, who saved me a hotel bill with his hospitality, and to all the teams for making me feel so welcome, yesterday, last night out clubbing and at the post-match Sunday lunchtime drinking session today. See you next time guys. (Oh and next time, would a shag be out of the question? You, yes you, in the Scottish team, you know who you are... Maybe we'll even get to speak next time... There's only so much testosterone build-up that a man can cope with over a whole weekend.)
