Mount L next weekend

[Happy Days]

These pair of young men get up to some tricks !!!!!!!
 :lol:

OH! Too Much Information Richard. It doesn’t bear thinking about! :?   (Perish the thought )

Hi Keith I got an email from 02 SAYING YOU WANTED SOME WINE !!!!!!!!
I have tescos in Dungannon and wine is cheap  
PM me a list of how many cases and I will bring them at the weekend.
Beer is also on offer 30 tins of carlsburg for about €20 Andrew has them almost all bought out lol

[Happy Days]

Richard, is nothing sacred in this world. :shock:  I emailed John to ask if he could get some for Mandy.
I have no idea who 02 is that you referred to!

The plonk in question isn’t obtainable here in the south. It’s a sweet Red from Greece (I don’t like sweet wines) called “Mavrodaphne of Patras” As far as she knows it’s only sold in Asda and Waitrose. I don’t think there are any Waitrose’s in Ulster, are there?

We brought 37 bottles when we came up North in the Spring. I think she still has about 20 bottles left but we don’t intend to go North again until next Summer. So it’s a question of stocking up!!!

This stuff doesn’t go off,  so if any of you guys who are coming south at the weekend could grab a couple of bottles I’ll settle up with you on Saturday. :wink:  
(I don’t have any STG cash, but I have a London bank account, or I’ll reimburse you through PayPal.)

Thanks

Keith
(What a topic for a Glider forum :roll: )

i'll have a look in the asda store in coleraine keith tomorrow after i finish work  
pity you can't get it in tesco i would have got 10% off it  

see you saturday  :clap:

[Happy Days]

Thanks Andy.

Don’t put yourselves out over this guys. I often joke with  her that the red stuff in her veins isn’t blood, but Mavrodaphne of Patras :lol:

Good man Andrew, if you cannot get it I will drive to Cookstown tomorrow nite. I drove past Asda on my way to the mountain earlier today , pity I didnot receive the email until I got home.
Winds were blowing strong today and I maidened my Le Fish, it was super fun !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who needs wine, women or song when we have gliders    :roll:

[billscottni]

let me know if you have any problems, 2 Asda's in reasonable distance of  me

[Richard Boyd]

Hi Keith , Andrew has located the wine but it now has a different label !!!!!!!
How many cases does Mandy require to keep her blood flowing red ?

[Happy Days]

Glad you got your Le Fish flying Richard, I’m looking forward to seeing it in the Wexford air this weekend.  
I’m seeing very conflicting reports about wind speed for the two days. :!:  The south slope of Big L. does not produce the greatest lift,(compared to the other slopes,) and should the wind be much less than around 20k it will be a definite ‘Floaters’ only job. (Or models with big wingspans.)
Unless your name’s Fred of course. He can fly a plane with no more lift than a rabbits fart! :lol:  
Might be a case of bringing everything and seeing what flys best on the day. :?:  

As for the ‘Plonk.’ Normally if the label has changed that signifies that something else has changed. It could simply be that the producer is using a different company to bottle the wine, or that the grapes are being pressed in a different machine. As long as the full name on the label is the same I should think one case would get her through. :wink:  (She’s a bit like a vampire really. If she can’t get her fill, she starts going a little crazy.......... Although I suppose that description applies to most of the females of the species, doesn’t it! :roll: )
So,…..one case please Andrew!

Keith

[rogallo]

Keith is it Foggy on the slope this morning?
Just wondering

Cheers

Ralph

[Happy Days]

Yes Ralph.

The slopes have been cloud covered each morning this week. The weather is never the same on any two days, but generally the mountain hasn’t been clear much before 10 o/c

[gerryb]

bad news for me lads, i'm not going to make it this weekend. hope ye all have a great time. make the most of tomorrow, sunday doesn't look atall good.

[andrew wallace]

ah gerry i'm sad to here that i was looking forwards to meeting you and seeing the k13 in the flesh  

well it's 5.22am i'm loaded up and ready to roll out soon
see you on big L soon  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

[Richard Boyd]

Hi Gerry sorry you are unable to make it !!!!!!!
We will miss you on the slope.
As for the weather, us Northerners have webbed feet and are well used to rain   :lol:

Its 6.15 im showered  and waiting on Andrew the we travel to Armagh to meet with the chuckle brothers John and Bill.
I think this is going to be a trip to remember ! for all the right reasons , I hope.

 :clap:

[Happy Days]

Well I hope your right there Richard.

I’ve just taken a look at the Big L, through rather bleary eyes I must admit, and dispite having a “second look” unfortunately the mountain isn’t there any more!!!
Well,.... at least if it is there I can’t see it.
As it has been for most mornings this week, it’s completely cloud covered.  I’m sure it will appear later on today……………just a matter of when!

The wind speed is currently8 kph SSW with very slight drizzle


Temp is 11 C

But fear not dear friends, I’m sure things will improve………“I have a feeling in my bones” Just don’t rush to get to the slopes, it may take a couple of hours for the cloud to lift.

I’ll post another report in an hour.

Keith.

Oh, by the way, I heard from Joe.  He sends his greetings and felicitations  but regrets that as he is out of the country, he can't make it today. He promises to come and annoy us at the next glide-in!
