2 line power kite in need of a good home

I’d be interested in the kite but I haven’t really got much to swap with it though. You can take your pick out of a lawnmower or a large 1950s style freezer.

We could make it some sort of indecent proposal if you’re into that sort of thing. I’m sure my girlfriend wouldn’t mind if she knew that I was getting an ace kite out of it.

Where abouts are you based?

I could offer you a fabulous Greek Gods chess set (really from Greece with little atlases as pawns) for your power kite. How wierd would that exchange be?

Interesting interesting…what state is it in and how big is this chess set? I don’t actuall play chess myself but perhaps it could make a nice gift for someone else if it doesn’t look to used.

Quimberly – I have no use for a lawnmower or freezer, and while YOUR girlfriend might not mind, I’m pretty sure MINE would! I’m based in Hendon.

The other thing I’d say about this kite is that it really needs shorter lines for greater control. It’s not a big kite and at the end of the lines it comes with, it looks like a small carrier bag whizzing around in the sky.

The chess set is huge and really heavy. It weighs a ton.

However I have no idea where the board is as I just checked and there it wasn’t. Which is a bugger really.

Soooo I will have to take back my offer and find the board.

Instead I can offer you a fine brand new shiny hardback copy of Parliment in Pictures or The Times A Century of Photography: Gardening or Napoleon and Wellington by Andrew Roberts…

Is that how you keep the kite up…? Not sure I want it in that case…

If i didnt buy a kite at the weekend i might get in on this. Although you seem hard to please, i may have offered a tin of margerine from the 40’s – never opened, a blue hustler lollipop, and a buiscuit replica of an oyster card. I collect random food stuffs, mainly thouse used to advertise things! (e,g lollipop – hustler tv,) although my collection is quite small,, i may have given it up.

I could offer you a 10 foot Flexifoil kite in exchange, or an 8 foot one, or a 12 foot one, just to confuse you. Ah, hobbies. I’m very interested in Kristina’s Oyster Card biscuit, though. Does it work – how cool would that be? An eatable ticket. Now there’s a niche.

kites and whisky are good friends to play with
