    Don't tell any South London Taliban. This sort of thing pisses them right off.
  5. RoyReed Must fly!

    True they don't like any sort of fun, but the main reason the Taliban banned kite flying was the large amount of gambling that the Afghanis do on the outcome of kite fights.

    Aha I know someone who might just like this. :D

    I actually quite like the look of this :)
  8. Crispy Fond of drink and industry

    It's a good day out. The choreographed stunt flying is worth it :)

    It's at the end of my street so I will be along at some point. It's the best thing that happens in Streatham all year.

    Think it might be a bit much this weekend though, Im having a night out in brighton friday, paintballing in dorking saturday, so kit day in streatham sunday might be pushing it (although if im awake and i fancy a drive out i might cruise down).

    Im assuming you can take your own kite?
  11. Crispy Fond of drink and industry

    Yep - there's plenty of space. The sky is full of kites

    Oooh it might be good for photos :D
  13. Crispy Fond of drink and industry

    It's a good opportunity to take those "everybody doing the same thing, without doing it together" photos. Loads of people flying kites, all looking at the sky, but all in slightly different ways.

    We had a great time at this last year - weather/wind depending we'll be there on Sunday.

    But remember the fun we had untangling the cords. Good times, good times.

    "We"?

    It was all Shifty. Her horrid child mocked me for it months later :mad:

    At this time of night?
    The traffic between Brixton & Streatham must be harsh indeed :D

    Seriously, kite day is fab. I've enjoyed it for many years as a high enjoyment, low cost day with the family. Would recommend it to all who are local.
  24. gaijingirl chinese lantern killer

    ooh, it's windy out there today... if it holds out will be great kite flying tomorrow!

  26. plurker is this the tag-line I am searching for?

    we wandered up to the rookery cafe for a (decent, home-made, rum&raisin) ice-cream at one point, and the wind was a fair bit stronger towards the top of the common - naturally enough I guess - higher = more exposed...

    Roy - I wondered if, given that the display area needs zero infrastructure, you've previously explored the idea of having that area higher up the common...most of the stall-holders would be able to set up their pitches further up also, as there's the tarmaced path half-way up that's level enough to park up on. Just a thought, anyway, not griping - a top day overall, as usual.

    Got there late with Belushi and quimz and either missed the MASSIVE kites (There was a clownfish last year!) or they weren't up :confused: Was lovely and sunny though :)
  28. editor totes amazeballs

    There were no MASSIVE kites this year on account of the wussy wind levels. We were there till 530pm so we must have missed each other.

    I'm no longer one of the organisers, but I'll pass this on to the right people.

    okay cool,
    I mis-construed the 'we will be featuring' form your original post...
