So you have decided to give it a go Brian, what do you think of it?

No, Steve, just up to my usual mickey taking, but Wallis is almost becoming boring now, he doesn't bite anymore, perhaps we should turn the clock back a bit and raise some of the old favorites that get him going. People just don't take things seriously anymore, you can even call Mike a Tosser and get away with it these days

Because I know you're a top bloke really Brian so the stabs at hang gliding don't have the same bite anymore. You've got to remember I used to be the same towards paragliding but in the end I did the course did the SIV after 7 hours and can now see the sport from both sides. The trouble is can you?

All you can manage these days is cheap remarks about something you haven't tried and would probably never master.

Do the hang gliding course then you are qualified to have a cheap dig until then be quiet.

Well said John... either 'piss take & paraglide' or... 'hangglide & paraglide'... I'll give you one guess which achieves the most 'AIRTIME' !!!

If you also had a sail plane, would you get even more air time?.

Wait!!

If you worked in the industry you would get even more!, Tony, Andrew and Ian must get loads of air time.

Hang on!!!

Those guys in the space station are getting way too much.......

I tried but no one would teach me!

Good to see you're back on form John, have you managed another 7 hours since the SIV on either craft?

Neil, I know someone that works for Alcan, they reckon there's good value for them in recycling aluminum, but it has to be good quality!!!!! We can always send the raggy bits of cloth to a charity shop or back to China for recycling.

John,,,,,you left me off the list!

Go on Mike, give it a go, you know you want to!
