Was ok as a lad but right now the cost of living under net zero is so onerus that money has become so tight that I no longer have a fixed address and can only stop in places its free to stay. Diesel is so expensive I have to rely on wind power to move and the sun to power my algorithm feeds.
Note IanR , HH on the shorts doesnt mean what you think


How ironic you blame Net Zero for your current financial situation but rely on renewable energy to keep yourself going
No thought about you inability to manage your financials
No comment on the fact your cult leader DJT has started a forever war with a country that has control over one of the key oil shipping routes and has the same conservative attitudes as you and will not back down

As for the Helly Hanson short I also find the fact that you buy clothes from a company that is based in a Social Democracy that have a strong Sustainability ethos quite ironic, where they a gift from your astrophysicist daughter

Your inability to think is profound and you are just a conduit for your algorithms

That might be old thinking but newer studies seem to disagree

Well obviously not cammd
And your PHD Astrophysicist daughter is proof of that. More importantly how does she feel about your support of a civically convicted rapist. I'm sure she doesn't get on the astrophysics forums and brag about her Trump supporting father


Buy a dictionary Carantoc and learn how to use it
Ancestry refers to your biological and genetic roots, while ethnicity refers to your shared cultural identity and social traditions

Whilst the Neanderthals died out between 60 and 30 thousand years ago there is a percentage of Neanderthal DNA in all of us. To varying degrees
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neanderthal_genetics
This got me wondering if conservatively minded people have a greater percentage of Neanderthal DNA in them and apparently there have been some studies that seem to back this up

One of the biggest dangers to those of us that have been kiting many years is the fact we get too comfortable kiting and think we can handle any situation.
This is not the case. You can never hit the release too early only too late and if your lucky its only an injury but it can result in death.
The thing that has bought this home to me is the video that KiteBud posted of the tragic death of Fernando Cappi.
So please everyone take care this season and heed kiteBuds advice

Really Mark where was the abuse in my response. Unlike you I didn't use foul language.
You seem unable to get rid of the bullying demeanor and superior attitude of your previous career.
You really don't like being challenged. Maybe that it also a throw back from previous career.

You really do need to learn how to communicate effectively. How was I supposed to know or anyone else that you where talking about a beach that you seem to think is your personal property.
Can you please point out to me the exact point in Cottesloe's Bylaws about where to launch and land a kite or Sailboard
www.cottesloe.wa.gov.au/documents/849/beaches-and-beach-reserves-local-law-2012
It appears to be more of a suggestion from this Document
www.cottesloe.wa.gov.au/explore-cottesloe/things-to-see-and-do/sports-and-leisure/water-activities.aspx
The council has no authority over the ocean.

And your right Mark I don't kite in Cottesloe because if I am going to ride surf I will find real waves not wind slop
If you think I'm abusing you go have a cry to the moderators.

What is C.U.B. ?. Is that a WA footy team ?

WA really does ride out the "if it's a 1000ft then its a mountain" definition. Everywhere else, it's called hills. Mind you, I would love to visit Bluff Knoll if I ever do visit WA again.



A C.U.B. is a Cashed Up Bogan general encounter driving a Ford Raptor or highly modified Series 79 Land Cruiser like its a weapon that's so clean you know its never been off road

Yea the Stirling Ranger are a bit far south to be part of Perth

Perth is a great place to live.
It is no longer the the cultural back water it was in the 70s and 80s.
The only thing that would make it better was if the Darling Ranges where 500-1000m taller. I miss mountains
The main down side are the C.U.B's though there are pockets of civilized society.

^^^^^ agreed. I see one big big company reposting everyone’s cool videos (using their brand of course) and much of what is shown is stupid conduct. Trying to save problems by just simple awareness for those at my local …. so people obey the rules…. gets me abused

no disrespect intended when a legend has passed away but it just seems such a waste. It’s easy to have fun and be safe


Oh Mark back on this wagon again. Maybe you should read your own state rules again particularly point 2
