  9. Are they now, I have 10mb and never get over 4mb on a speedtest I heard they were trialling traffic shaping to control bandwidth but not that. Will have to ring them again.

  11. Glucosamin and Chondroitin, and devils claw, vegetarian omega oils and careful exercise to keep the knee mobile. Don't get me wrong it's not great but I can run and stuff again I pay for it afterwards as it throbs and gets stiff but I can handle that as it's better the day after.

  13. Not really kite related my injury it's a long story too! I was at the skatepark beginning of October as it was snowing so out came the old push board. Skating around doing natty little tricks over the street part of the park decided the mini ramp needed tackling so I headed over and went to drop in, too much weight over the back of the board saw me wheelie down the ramp with the nose in the air, oh ****e thinks me this is going to hurt best bail whilst I'm upright. Right foot onto the ramp at the bottom with my left foot still on board about to take it off board and body does a quick 180 and my right knee stays still result is a popping feeling in my knee and I pass out for a second or 2 wake up on the deck, then scream like a girl stand up and hobble about for a few minutes pain subsides and I put a knee support on and carry on skating the street course just pottering nothing crazy knee feels tender and hurts when I push myself on the board but ok. I then Drive my friend home and then go home, Missus tells me off for inuring myself and we watch telly and have a couple of beers with me saying my knee really is starting to hurt and seize up. Go to bed see knee the size of a balloon and head to the hospital at half 2 in the morning. young doctor visibly winces when I show him an Xray shows nothing except a lot of blood and no broken bones. So it's crutches and pain killers come back monday for a knee surgeon to have a look. Agony over the weekend and going upstairs on my ass. The knee surgeon looks makes that whistling noise and says "well you really have royally wrecked your knee" Great I think never going to walk again never mind anything else. He drains 5 hooge syringes full of blood and books me an ultrasound. Ultrasound shows my meniscal cartilidge has a hole in it and my acl is torn, well we'd best get you an MRI done on that and look at surgery (this is the NHS by the way I was shocked!) MRI shows I also fractured my tibia head where it becomes part of the knee but it has healed quickly and surgery is not nesseceray. 6 Months of painkillers, glucosamine and chondrotin and devils claw light exercise and such and it's starting to get better, fingers crossed for the summer and some steady kiting. Good job my local hospital has the West Riding Knee unit on site and the knee surgeon is one of the best in the UK they really helped me out which was great,w and minimal jokes about been too old to be on a skateboard until I told him the other sports I do he told me to go back in April and he would check it for me. Some pics of the aftermath this is before heading to casualty it was even bigger by monday. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v495/sharemaster/18112006205.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v495/sharemaster/18112006204.jpg
  14. Hi guys, Just thought I'd call in and say hello again. Had loads of problems with the knee back end of last year thought I'd never kite or stand on anything board shaped again, I did my crucia, meniscal and fractured my tibia which was nice. Doctor thinks end of June/July and I should be alright to start doing things again. Just in time for surfing season Good to be looking again I couldn't face it before http://www.racekites.com/forum/smileys/smiley17.gif
  15. Hi guys Looking at taking a trip down to spain around Christmas time to see relatives just so happens they are half an hour from Tarifa so I am thinking of going and getting some lessons whilst it's quiet. Is it worth it??
  16. I'll go away then lol bet I know where you got that advice from Oh and good luck!
  17. Geodude, good work fella! you need to.. Do your theory test now, it lasts a certain amount of time before it runs out, get a provisional licence then get an intense driving course 7 days with a test booked at the end probably less than a grand, pass test (obviously ) then insure your car with a parent as a named driver. It was told to me by a man with knowledge my dad lol
  18. In a word..... yes, how do you know who "justsnipe" is maybe it's got a lot less security than Ebay? and some dodgy geezers working there
  19. Thermoplastic helps it just can't take the burn from a pocket blowtorch though, :rolleyes: so I've heard anyway :D
  20. No it's too small and plastic it'd melt
  21. That would be a breather check valve from the crankcase breather system. Have you got the VW part number on the side should be about 9 numbers and maybe a letter or two. Can get you a picture then tonight of where it goes! Or ring VW parts up and give them the number.
  22. Cool cheers have a good one matey :jealous:
  23. Yes mate it's series 3 http://www.allaboutsymbian.com I'm looking at the n80 but can't get my Sat nav going on it boo hiss boo!! try turning of the volume protection setting on the default player as well.
  24. Software won't work on the n70 as it's a different symbian operating system, until the n80 and 91 start to pick up software will be hard to find for those phones.
  25. Sorry meant front lines wrote rear! Oh **** handles in general and on the slingshot bars, I have heard they can send kites into death spirals whilst you try and hang on with two fingers etc. I don't want to trash the kite or put anybody in danger with a setup I can't ditch/kill when required. I was going to fit a 5th line but the hole for the depower rope is rather tight to say the least. I am at work at the mo but can do picture explaining when I get home
