Ok a generall post to see what the Australian kiting community is made up of. You can leave parts blank if u wish. I have done survey like this in one of my mountain biking forums and it proved very handy to myself (industrial design student) and to many people within the industry as an outline of the marketplace.

elizabeth how dare u mutter the word ORIGIN in my thread after last night,,, But on the other hand, union is sooo much better so i don't really care.

I appreciate all the offers for free sex, but for god sakes from women only, can't stress that enough. By all the free sex offeres from guys to other guys it would seem there are a lot of rugby League players in here.

Keeps the replies comin, and if decide to add comical answers please put them after real ones to keep this thread useful.

Cheers
