  1. I refuse to be drawn into the sparing match with this one. All I will say is Drooooooool.
  2. So now I have tis mental image of fuzz protruding out from your ears to test the wind, then nipping back into the warm of your "ear-ole" so that it is not de-sensatised by too much exposure to the wind. This is obviously special fuzz for Rev Jedi. Actually, hair growing out of your ears happens naturally as you get older. God has a funny sense of humor ... damn hair stops growing on top of your head and starts sprouting in other places. Growing old is not for the weak of heart! Cheers, Tom I SO understand where you are coming from here Tom. When I was younger I used to see folks with hair out their ears, and bushy straggly eyebrows and used to think eyuchhh. Why on earth do they let that happen. Now of course I am the right side of 50 and it is happening to me. Oh well, all the better to tell where the wind is, and its speed.

  4. You sure it isnt just quieter cuz it is further away?
  5. I like this idea for all of your reasons Howard. We all often abandon kit on the beach or field, using this to "stake your claim" to your belongings is great.
  6. Rather than sewing my kite up I would be tempted to turn the Mp3 player up a bit. Best of luck with your project. I dont know anything about making kites quieter I am afraid. I know that some dualies I have had have been VERY noisy. The 2 I have now dont seem to be too bad.
  7. Both bags look good. Designed to meet your needs. Hope they work well in field tests. I used to slide my bag under the rear seat of my Land Rover, it is too fat now. So a Jynx bag would be great for that. I would think there is still room in there for a few spare rods too.
  8. I like the realistic hands you have sewn onto it in the first couple of pics, looks like it might even have feet too. Looks good, hope it suits your needs.
  9. WOW, you will be able to use the internet and play songs on it next So not only have I recently bought the wrong phone, now if I had bought the right one I wouldnt have needed to buy a wind meter. Or MP3 playa.
  10. I agree with the longer lines, more wind window. However shorter lines, more instantly "in touch" with the kite. Not that I know anything about 2 line tricking though.
  11. You be careful now, you hear. Tiz good fun though. Must get mine flying again soon. Have fun.

    Remeber When...

    Looks like he is a hardened drinker. Sharp dresser too. Likes his creature comforts. Not so sure about his taste in Toons. Jungle book would have been better.
  13. As with John I didnt know Margaret, or even know of he I am afraid. It is sad to loose a part of the Kite community, although we all know this is a fact of life. Looking at the kind words and Obituary above her life will be celebrated and remembered by many. What a wonderful string of memories to hold onto in rememberance of what was obviously, even to me who didnt even know of her, a kind and generous member of the kiting family. We all have our losses, both public family and private family. The quality of a persons life is in how they are remembered. I am sure Margaret will be remembered with kindness, and hopefully a smile.

    Cool story Upnet, hope you find the DVD useful, ?I did, not that I am any good of course, just so I know when I am getting it wrong now. COOL picture Roisin, always wonder how young kids can see anything that close to the TV. Mostly all of em do it though.
  15. Sorry, missed following this one. Well done Rudy. Hope you love it.
  16. You guys play nice now, you hear.
  17. Thought that might be your reaction Spence. Any news? Getting to be a long wait, you must be squirming in anticipation by now!!
  18. Shame it is cancelled. Hope it revives well.
  19. Glad they are all safe. And back where they belong.
  20. That is FANTASTIC news. Hope all is well with the contents. Tiz a bummer that you have to wait till Monday, I would be tearing my hair out (what little I have) with having to wait. I am sending posotive vibes your way.
  21. That is just SO not fair. I hope they are found and returned. So sorry to hear that.
  22. Hey Spence, you get to strut your stuff alongside iQuad. SUPER COOL. Hope all you lucky folks that can make it have a ball.
  23. Good one again mate.
  24. Thanks Jynx. Looked like fun. Was that Bazzer I saw being used as a beast of burden to drag the cart in Roobarb's vid?
  25. YOU FORGOT YOU HAD WON IT. Oh well suppose you could. Diving with a Rev, you might be pushing the water flying bit too much. All you got to do is enjoy it OK.
