David Ashby - Moderator Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 An idea that sounds fun.

Plummet Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 David. You are a horrid man. I have lots of things I should have been doing! But... On the first day of Christmas my clubmates all watched me,Misjudge the height of a tree. On the second day of Christmas my clubmates all watched me,Deadstick miles downwindAnd misjudge the height of a tree. On the third day of Christmas my clubmates all watched me,Lose orientationDeadstick miles downwind And misjudge the height of a tree. <snip/> On the twelveth day of Christmas my clubmates all watched me,Laugh at their misfortunesDowse myself with glow-fuelTry to scrounge a glowplugDo a cartwheel landingTip my chair o'er backwards Drop sandwich in to cowpatSmash my favourite thermosBring the wrong wingsTip the nose on takeoffLose orientationDeadstick miles downwind And misjudge the height of a tree.
