That Looked Immense....Gutted I didnt go and have a look now...

smashin pictures there joe

Wouldn't say Immense, but looked good.

I was only there 45 mins and that was long enough.

It was totally packed there, never seen New Brighton so busy.

The commentator was a bit weird though:

"Kite flyers are generally nice people, approachable and friendly"

"you can buy any kite from a toy shop, but it won't be as good as buying one from a proper kite shop"

hahahha...sounds as funny as the New Brighton Rally Commentator..just you wait

yeah, think of him but 10x worse and posher

aww wow the pics r cool... we went down this morning just sort of went pased.. made up u got sponge bob on as kyle didnt see it propperly today so he was really chuffed to see it x

The new brighton Rally commentator is my mate, leave him alone, I think he does a good job, since it isnt actually his "job", he isnt paid a penny for it.

Awesome! good pix joe!

Gutted i didnt go to that now, my dad told me about it and i just shrugged him off.. darn lol

I'm guesing thats where you were coming back from Joe when you didnt let me out of the junction by the old kwicksaves, ignorant sod lol

My Daughter flying a kite that she made in the workshop.

Most of them look more like balloons....like all those shark things...

i didnt even get to see the kites was working

I just didnt go cos Im lazy...and was trying to get my temp job back

IMHO they were mostly just huge wind sock, Kites are hand controlled and do stunts or displays to music etc.

old skool
