BOSM thanks to...

The varlet known as Doesnotcompute did proclaim to all assembled:

ROFLPMP!!

Tell me he didn't, please!

Or was he a bit "tired and emotional".

 

The varlet known as Lady Nina did proclaim to all assembled:

Nope! ;-P

 

No, no, no ... Cont!

shhh I nearly diverted their attention...

pah! try doing all that, and drinking and 650 miles.

I'm a little bit zoned out to say the least.

I'm really pleased I left early on last night, it gave me all the energy
I needed to wake Lady Nina up..

 

I believe it'll all change into that awful cooing nonsense when he does,
accidentally, get her up the stick.

 

It was rather cheeky for the pub to serve it in Guinness glasses though.
Not that it matters after a while.

 

That'd be a nice theory, if only they didn't have a nasty habit of
coming back. ;-)

It works in practice too.

If they come back you tell them that it was their decision to leave and
anyway you have redecorated the bedroom, so **** off. Their little
broken hearts a picture. No, a masterpiece, painted in bold line on
their weeping wet faces. Their pitiful sobs begging for a change of
heart, a symphony. Their pathetic broken shuffle as they finally
depart, a ballet. The full sense of satisfaction, as after a great
feast. Can you get all this anywhere else from a simple "**** off"?

 

I can't be arsed to google, but you were going on about kites: "Let's do
kites! I've got one and it's really really big!". Then you show up with
what turns out to be a bog standard Flexifoil.

You can get a carbon spar for the FF for flying in very light winds, but
even that won't help if there's no fucking wind whatsoever. Also, putting a
couple of sticks in at a 45deg angle is probably a better launch strategy
than dragooning Mike...

Sean or darsy? Sean looks like the sort of person who would ride to
Frankfurt on a CG125, and then be dumb enough to do it all over again.
darsy looks like a fat, bald marmoset.

that was the smaller of the two - the bigger one wouldn't have gone up
either - what wind there was was turbulent because of the pub. I wanted
the field the other side of the pub, but mike didn't know the owners.

Oh dear, anyone know a good way to clean a keyboard that's had a pint of
Hobgoblin spat into it?

you know, sometimes, just sometimes, you can be quite funny.

 

You need lots of very thirsty ants, a small keyboard-sized ant ladder,
and a small vacum cleaner for collecting them up when they're all drunk.

I won't be held responsible if they start a fight, mind.

If flexifoil is what I think it is then it is a low aspect ratio delta
and while it is possible to put a high aspect ratio delta up in nothing
but drift without too much hassle LA ones are a **** pig. Having said
that if you get a bit of luck and it is a good thermal that you launch
into then once you are giving it line it will stay up all day long.

A winged box kite made from tissue and balsa is what you need for dead
calm conditions.

 

No, I'm sensible.

I was meant to be at the pub half an hour ago. My lovely quiet house
is now full of teenagers and children who want me to go out. No doubt
if I do soul calibur 2 will be turned off and the little sods will put
porn on. Ha, I'm foiling their plan.

well, maybe for relative values of the term
