helimed01 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 High Pressure. Can someone remind me what that is; Its been so bloody long. I still havn't seen over 1003 mb since start of summer, mainly arround 998 almost every day. Come on Indian summer, its still not too late.

dantheman Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Peteb has conjoured up 'Mattea' - a developing area of low pressure that is set to bring quite a wild end to the week - perfect for our party NOT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irm750 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I thought it might have been removed because he had died, but the muppett (Kevin Kearney) is recovering and says that he would do it again. Keep watching the news as darwinism would indicate that he will probably find another spectacularly stupid way of topping himself! Hope he doesn't take up paramotoring! Still available to view here (embellished with 911 recordings) - http://www.wkrg.com/hurricane/article/kite_surfer_slammed_into_building_911_calls/17056/ Best regards, Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanhinsaudi Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I think he deserves a Dawin award just for the attempt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Maybe we all push the boundaries sometimes? and if we get away with it we either recognise we went too far and back off or we say "I have extended my envelope". I know some guys who would agree with this. Sometimes you do it to prove a point or get a job done, sometimes just for the thrill. At the moment my "kneck is wound right in" but I will no doubt push the boundaries again sometime. I will not qualify for the Darwin award as I have already contributed considerably to the gene pool, but I hope I get remebered not for my last great folly! We are all at the mercy of the element we take liberties with, just flying at all is un-natural for mortals. In the end "probability" wins and will take some of us before we get to vegetate in an old folks home. I hope I'm one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
