Mark Rose Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 It's still a very sad picture. It will probably stay up there till it rots...bloody shame. Quote
sn0rkle Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 I cant see it moving, it inflates and has a shuffle around every now and again, just to let us know its there like. Apart from that im not sure wild horses could drag it off Quote
crazyasyoulike Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 is it still up there? my mate has a little pet monkey the little **** can get away where bet he could could it down shame we live so far away, other than that throw a fag end up there the kite will vanish before your very eyes.

Tweak Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 Ooo, asbestos roof, mean not easy to climb on. Quote
Badger Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 So how did this story end, or is it still up there ? Steve. Quote

petay_pan Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 dont know if anyone has suggested this but if not fussed about getting kite down in one piece then could use a weighted group of fishing hooks on a line and try throw it at the kite to possibley pull off roof or least move it down thinking aloud here havent read whole of this post Quote
dirty_knees Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 sombody had a better idea of melting it to the roof, sonds like a good idea to me after all its only a frenzy:p Quote
Jangla Posted September 2, 2005 Author Report Posted September 2, 2005 So how did this story end, or is it still up there ? Steve. Oh yes! I'm more and more concerned about it actually; it's going to start to rot and break up at some point and that means possibly large pieces of kite breaking free and ending up in the main road Dan, if you read this board - get it sorted mate by any means necessary. It's never going to fly again so cut your losses and drag it down in bits. Quote
rod_bunny Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 In one piece its staying there... In bit's you could always get it repaired.... then ebay it Quote
Husky_Joe Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 My god is that Frenzy still there? Quote
Elliot Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 how did it get up there in the first place? Quote
tttonyyy1599968643 Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 In one piece its staying there... In bit's you could always get it repaired.... then ebay it For sale: assortment of uniquely shaped single liners by manufacturers 'Oz', 'on' and 'e'. Quote
J2NZ Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 So what happened to this?? Did it ever get recovered?? Quote
one more Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 The main problem is that happened in England....if it would have been in Brazil (where I come from) it would be easy to find a small boy who would catch it for about 5 pounds....the permission to climb in the roof is not necessary anyway! The problem would be to live the kite there!!! I'm shure in the first night it would be gone!! Quote
scoobydrew Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 thats the answer then ! give some chav tosser a fiver & tell im ta get the thing down. & i'll chip in another fiver if the B*****D does it in spikey golf shoes Quote
crazyasyoulike Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 I'll pay a £10 for the DVD of the chav falling through the roof and breaking a few bones on the way. Do they do burberry plaster casts? Quote
walty666 Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 24ft so 18ft plus arms length?? How long are your arms? Jon ...and this years Perrier Award goes to... Quote
Plugus Maximus Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 I've not read everypost here (too many!!) but have you considered hiring a cherry picker? Eg: http://www.eplaccess.co.uk/Index.htm or http://www.platform-rentals.co.uk/stc/ I don't know the cost of hire but you might even get a cherry picker driver to do it for a bit of backshish at the end of his shift rather than hiring a vehicle for an hour or two.

theherod Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 I know one of the workers at the depot (well i work with his wife). Maybe i could have a word and that might help?? Quote
crazyasyoulike Posted September 6, 2005 Report Posted September 6, 2005 get some rope push it through an old football, cover the football in super glue and no nails or that stuff you put carpet tiles down with in a spray can, throw it up there on the kite wait a few mins for the glue to stick and pull like mad with a few mates.

Bill Benson Posted September 6, 2005 Report Posted September 6, 2005 Is it possible to get someone proficient at fly fishing to cast a line up and hook it? Can't believe it is still up there. Quote
Active-8 Posted September 6, 2005 Report Posted September 6, 2005 cherry picker inside and take a skylight out. you can get a roach pole long enought to reach it, tape a hook and knife on the ens and a little mag light to see at night. Quote
Coyote Posted September 6, 2005 Report Posted September 6, 2005 If its still up there it maybe worth putting it on ebay - buyer collects!!! Quote
TheFish Posted February 10, 2006 Report Posted February 10, 2006 If its still up there it maybe worth putting it on ebay - buyer collects!!! So come on it must be down by now What was the outcome Quote
