Lock up your goats as well..... http://www.break.com/index/eagle-drags- ... cliff.html

I love cats.....just can't eat a whole one 8)

Yep spines go through gaiters and thin leather. Thought I would plant some under my daughters bedroom window in a couple of years to keep the boys away. :evil:

ASW 20 & 27's are really good ships, you can always store them out at the airfield (Mrs Loopy need never know). Although there is little point in buying a glider as the club have a couple of high performance ships. The Janus in the photo held 2 world records for speed over distance. When you ballast it up with water, it goes like a rocket. But it is very very slippery. My power friends are always suprised at how fast it can get away on you. We also have a LS4 single seater which is great to fly.

Ha! 6ft, try 20m........ Me & my daughter off for a mission, Omarama 2008 Tracking towards Mt Cook

Wow! Mr Loopy 3k would take you way past solo stage in a glider...probably easier to fly than an RC too :-?

Joke I received today.... The seven dwarfs went off to work in the mine one day, while Snow White stayed at home to do the housework and cook their lunch. However when she went to the mine to deliver their lunches, she found there had been a cave-in, and there was no sign of the dwarfs. Tearfully she yelled in to the mine entrance:"hello - is anyone there. Can anyone hear me". A voice floated up from the bowels of the mine: "Australia will win the Rugby World Cup" "Thank god" said Snow White "at least Dopey's still alive"

Thanks Robert, good stuff. As an aside, anyone been watching that programme on the weather on Monday nights? I've seen it before but still really interesting. I am currently keeping an eye on the weather cam at Scott Base as I have a friend down that way at present. Apart from a few days, their weather has been better than ours! http://www.antarcticanz.govt.nz/education/2568

Interesting theory. My rudimentary understanding is that the fan increases evaporation by increasing the kinetic energy in the water molecules at the surface. ie their speed. The faster they are moving, the more energy they have to break the surface tension. As the faster-moving molecules escape, the remaining molecules have lower average kinetic energy, and the temperature of the liquid thus decreases. You can speed up molecules a number of ways but the obvious ones are increasing their temperature or increasing the air movement at the surface and this is what the fan does. Moving air ie wind feels colder than still air through the same process on your skin as the skin moisture molecules average speed is increased. (The air itself is NOT colder) Humidity also affects the rate of evaporation as the surrounding air nears its saturation point, it is unable to pickup anymore water molecules. I sure that someone will correct me if I have any of this wrong

Ha! Weather today is fantastic here in the South Island...even at Scott Base the weather is good... http://www.softrock.co.nz/mg/apmc.php?page=26

Ha! That reminds me, we have always called tomato source 'Train Smash' in our family...for obvious reasons :lol:

We had some Danios disappear on us. The finger was pointed at a particular fish (no names), and the gallows were in construction, when we found that the Danios were probably just jumping out. :oops:

I agree with Alan & Poppy. Reporting your experience, as long as it's factual, shouldn't breach any laws. After all Fair Go pretty much does the same. I recon an opinion is also valid as long as the author states its their opinion.
