  1. [quote user="crazyfrog"][quote user="Frederick"]fly kilometres out above the ocean and you can chase boats. And why would anybody want to do that ?[/quote] 3 teenage boys and their dad ! Dog: I take your point re: Fish, but it's free food, and we only fish for what we can eat. [/quote] When you drop a baited hook into the water how do you know what is going to get hooked?
  2. Lol that would be fun to see... apart from the fact you wouldn't know where I was as the line is impossible to see and I could be 5k away. With cross winds it is not at all obvious where the flier is. Most people that see the kite think it is radio controlled. Should you manage to find me the cotton has a breaking strain of 3lbs and the bamboo is 4mmx3mm and can be easily snapped by hand, the paper sail won't do much damage either. I suppose you could wrap 5k of line around my neck but I doubt I would stick around that long. Targeting boats is fun leaving a kite flying from the mast - it could become a sport seeing how many you could attach to a boat.
  3. It seems incredible that no person had any insight into this man before this horrific criminal action.
  4. Leave the fish to live their lives and buy some kites. 4 line kites can fly into under and out of receeding water. 2 and four line kites are fun to fight with. I doubt if you will be able to handle an Indian kite but they can fly kilometres out above the ocean and you can chase boats.
  5. Sorry Chancer set me off on 603cc Citroen twins. I had meant to post about the XR2i when they first came out. We picked it up after it's first service and on the twisty road back home came upon a 911 driving at some speed. He was obviously a bit hesitant or didn't know the road so I overtook him. He had far more power but I could leave him around the bends. He just stayed right behind. There was a steep up hill short straight and I just knew he was going to do me up the hill. I gave it the full nads - it was one of the moments when the wifelet uses unladylike language and tells me I have done it again - as a pungent steam enveloped the car inside and out in a great cloud of steam. I couldn't see a thing and the Porche flew buy. Had to get a breakdown vehicle out and take it back to the Ford garage. Two months old and it had blown a core plug and dumped the coolant all over the exhaust manifold. Never mind all fixed under warranty. I bet the 911 owner had a laugh at my expense.
  6. The first car I bought the wifelet was a Diane. You just had to learn to keep speed up or you needed a clock to time the 0-60mph. We used to go to Wales for the weekend and the only way to overtake on backroads was to overtake into bends on the brakes, to some strange looks. I got it up to 90mph once with 5 people and a dog in it. With the wifelet driving and a younger bro and I standing watching the stars out of the full length roof on the way back after 10 pints of ESB was life enhancing - tho later my bro pebble dashed his bedroom wall but the springer spaniel cleaned it up to nearly six feet. Happy days.
  7. I'd check first, many motorcycle headlamps just have adjusting screws to angle the reflector to left or right. http://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/ Are very good for Honda spares and give good discount - though I have a pet Honda Dealer that will slightly better his prices but I pay cash upfront.
  8. Come to think of it the trees do have a reputation for bits breaking off and they grow like weeds.
  9. Cannot answer your question but eucalyptus grown in Europe is a bit naughty as they kill off local vegetation and it doesn't support european mammals and there are not many coalas about. You need to know where teak comes from too.
  10. Alledgedly... Queen's son and Freemason gives up self volunteered job as envoy. Where did he go wrong... http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2011/03/07/prince-andrew-fighting-for-survival-as-fbi-investigate-his-paedo-pal-115875-22971519/ I guess he walked out the back door on a good day for bad news. I wonder what he will find to do next...
  11. I would be unhappy if it was 300 year old plus fine edition of the bible - but if it is a modern edition, as the bible is the most common book in the world it is only paper. Don't get upset - that's obviously what is wanted.
  12. Any profit can be instantly wiped out if the 'scheme' of payment is altered or withdrawn. Currently tax payers are paying through the nose for a few people to get rich through 'Green Schemes'. The bubble has burst now in UK on wind farms not in production by September this year.
  13. My favourite lentil dish I call 'lentil slop' if we like dinner we also tell the wifelet 'that was a good bit of slop'. I will get her recipe for you - I like it on a bed of mash with a layer of greens and the lentil slop on top. Lentils give you sooo much energy it ain't true.
  14. I won't bore you with ordinary cars I bought.# These were the memorable ones.... Reliant Regal cartwheeled it through a hedge - chassis was severly bent. Vauxhall VX1800 Estate - wonderful car did nearly 400,000 miles - you could get 40 bottles of wine under the floorpan. The French had never seen one. I finally wore it out - it was terminally old and the diff blew up making loud clonking noises. VX490 - I bought it from a very religious Caribean gentleman. On the test drive I threw it around a roundabout at great speed - I had never previously seen a dark skinned man turn white with fear. He didn't say anything until we got back to his house. Where he shakily said that he had never been so scared in my OWN car! It rusted and fell apart. He kept in touch for years - I was the first to put the fear of God in him. Vauxhall Ventura 3 litre straight six. Was made of thicker metal than other VX's and had a great lump of chassis under the radiator - who knows why? Never had a bit of rust on it. A great limo but not made for speed. Head warped three times and I gave up with it. A hotrodder bought it and fitted a V8 and jacked it up. I bet it's still out there somewhere. I would like to mention I purchased Vauxhalls because people didn't like them and they were cheap! I wanted a Lotus Seven but stupidly bought a fake kitcar one with a 3 litre V6. Crumbs it was quick - nearly as quick as a motorcycle - my glasses vibrated so much over 100mph I couldn't see! Sadly the idiot that built it must have built it an afternoon and ignored the instructions. It was a death trap. Ford Probe 2 litre - bought as had sold all UK cars but needed a runaround for a few weeks until moved to France. Paid £500 quid for it, low mileage - was a reasonable car but made for Americans with children with no legs as there was no rear legroom. Sold it for £800. Lada 1300 - bought it for a Hungarian. He was a Uni lecturer of English. I found that on his salary it would take him 20 years to afford to buy a Lada. So I bought him one 12,000 miles £350. Trouble was it was only 3 years old. I gave it to him and he cried. Then found that as it was so new!!! he would have to pay a massive import duty so I got stuck with it. I got it up to 112mph slipstreaming my brothers car. It was a hilarious car to drive - what had I got to lose in it? You could leave the keys in it and it wouldn't get nicked. I drove it over ploughed fields, had great duels with big posh cars. Wheels fell apart - they are not heat treated. I visited a mate with a 911 and he sat in the car and we chatted while I held the pedal to the carpet for 5 minutes while we laughed and I explained he couldn't do this in his Porche. That burned the cam lobes off - oops. It eventually ended up in a bed of stinging nettles by my garage - until a Geordie bought it to export back to Russia - he had shipped over 400. I feel sorry for the Ruskie that bought mine. I won't bore you any more for now.............
  15. Auchan sell'em and the Grand Frais. How did you make your naan in the end?

    I am a fervent republican yet today found that Zara Phillips the UK Queens grandaughter who is about to get married has never bothered to meet her half sister Felicity. Would you behave like this?
  17. It is unlikely to bother the cyclists with all the enhancements they benefit from. It has been an interesting tour but as usual the motorcycles seem to win...
  18. I thought Murdoch was going to get a grilling but he got a battering...
  19. What lovely characters! I am sure the last one looks like my Great Uncle....
  20. He just got covered in white stuff.
  21. I was unaware of being made fun of - I thought you were making a fool of yourself. I am sorry if you felt people were poking fun of you - but you do ask for it very often. Pot-kettle-black is not very PC these days old chap. Will you be watching the grillings on TV this afternoon?
  22. [quote user="Quillan"] [quote user="Clarkkent"]I've got to admit, Q, but that is extremely authoritative and convincing evidence you've got there. You do know that Charles T Russell, the founder of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society is buried under a pyramid, don't you? That means that Jehovah's Witnesses are the secret intelligence service of the new world order - after all, apart from the Royal Mail, they are the only organisation which visits every household on a regular basis ...[/quote] We have a couple living next door who are JW's, next time I have the step ladders out I will look over the fence and do a bit of pyramid spotting [;-)] . Was it Greece where you use to buy those china 'eye' things in the turrist shops to take back and hang on your wall for good luck? Does that mean they are all illuminati there? If so then judging based on more resent fiscal events they are not so bright or powerful as some would lead us to believe. Anyway I am glad my link bought a few smiles. [:D] [/quote] Another off topic post, and not remotely amusing in my opinion- totally ignoring the first death associated with the Murdochs and the phone hacking scandal.
  23. These Antients strangely go in for brotherly love, seems a little incestuous - but I suppose if they went into sisterly love they would be open to other suggestions. Antient must be pertaining to ants - perhaps they are building a nest.
